The "Hopeless Doodle Addict" Trophy arrives in Ohio!!

[Kemp Rader]

A few days ago, the “Hopeless Doodle Addict” Trophy arrived at my door! What an honor it is to receive this beautiful award. It was sent to me from Gina in Las Vegas, NV and the trophy is now proudly displayed on my fireplace mantle here in Pataskala, Ohio.

 

Along with the trophy, Gina included a package of squeaky balls for my doodles (Ripley, Shiloh, Oliver and Truman). She also included 2 lovely doodle magnets and two casino tokens from the MGM Grand Hotel and Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas….Gina didn’t  know that I collect casino tokens, so that
was an extra special surprise for me. Serendipity!

 

This trophy has been on tour for a little over a year now and it is certainly racking up the Frequent Flyer Miles. The trophy will be on its way to the next Hopeless Doodle Addict within a week or two.

 

For new members who might be wondering what this is all about, I’ve included a link to the original post regarding the trophy:

Here’s a photo of me with the trophy perched behind me…and my exhausted doodles after romping in the snow. The second photo displays the thoughtful gifts Gina included.

 

Thank you so much for this award. I am truly grateful to be an honored member of this community.

 

Warmest Regards,

Kemp Rader

LOL I am so glad you and your doodles enjoyed everything Kemp :) I thought and thought about what to send in honor of Las Vegas. Seeing as most people make it here at one time or another, you could either USE the tokens and hopefully have good luck, or keep them as a souvenier...... I am very glad you liked everything. The photo of you and your doods is wonderful, they are so beautiful.
