The Hopeless Doodle Addict Trophy has arrived in Arizona!!!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Hi from Arizona as we celebrated recieving the coveted HDA Trophy today. Murphy and Bella were very excited to get the wonderful gifts and treats along with some nice Texas snacks for me as well. Suzann sent a wonderful package filled with Texas originals like the Texas Tube Dog, and the Texas Football Tug toy. Also included were stuffed puppies for each doodle and it appears Bandit took a liking to one and left his scent on the half chewed tag, as that was the first item Bella went for. I think she now has a thing for Bandit.

One of the cutest gifts is the Talking Ball that you record a message in and it plays it over and over while the doods are moving it around.  I recorded "Murphy...get the ball" and "Bella! Don't eat the ball" as that is just what I say a gazillion times a day anyway. Perfect gift. There were some healthy well chosen treats for both of them and even some Texas originals for me. Pretzels and crackers made into the shape of Texas.

Suzann even included a lovely car seat blanket for my car which is just perfect as I am changing covers and blankets constantly as Bella still has some motion sickness going on. Always in need of covers! Thank you so much.

(BTW, we are remodeling, so I picked the most uncluttered corner I could find to take pictures. If you look close you can find some tools too. lol )

So here are some pictures of our fun morning.

A mysterious box arrives at our doorstep. Murphy is the first to notice.

Bella is summoned to help investigate.

"Hey Murph, do you smell what I smell?"

"Wow, Bella, a Gold Star just for us? What did we do to deserve this?"

"Murph,I can't chew on that gold star. Check out this tube dog, his name is Texas."

Murphy discovers the red puppy that Bandit liked.

 

"Hey, I saw the red puppy first, Bandit sent that to ME!!!"

Murphy knows she is easily distracted and shows her the new blanket.

"Look mom, do you think Bandit will like me in this?" 

"Look at all the terrific gifts we got, just for being doodles! "

Congratulations! Wow, it's like Christmas all over again at your house. More nose prints on the trophy, yipee! I have to find one of those talking balls, it would really freak Quincy out. Murphy and Bella enjoy all those goodies.

The look on Murphy's face was priceless and Bella just stopped dead in her tracks when she heard it. It is fun. You can find it on www.talktomepet.com

lol! Wow! That's a lot of loot! The dogs looked so excited exploring the package!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Yes they were. Bella kept picking up on toy and running away with it, then coming back for another, and running away again. Had to go find everything to take pictures of it.
