Today, April 15, Doodle Kisses TURNS ONE YEAR OLD!!!

[Adina P]

Doodle Kisses turns a year old today, April 15th. I can hardly believe it.

Last April, my hubby Clark suggested I start this site thinking it would be a fun thing for doodle owners...crazy ones like me. (I think he was just trying to occupy me so I wouldn't complain about his computer time ;-))

So I gave in, but was secretly skeptical:
"Yeah..right...who's gonna join? There are plenty of other doodle forums and yahoo groups for doodle people!"

But he insisted that this site would be way different and more fun with more photos, videos, plus personal profiles. It really makes a difference when you know who you are talking to! He then proceeded to buy a domain and set up the site... so I had no choice. :-)

To my surprise, when I invited people...they came! And the site took off and became a wonderful place to share with other doodle lovers. Today, a year later, we have nearly 4000 members and a fun, active community with new friendships and great discussions. Hey, I am addicted to Doodle Kisses myself =)

I've said it before, but I have to say it again:

Doodle Kisses is what it is because of YOU!

All of you who participate and welcome others and are so friendly and willing to share advice and a glimpse of your life with your doodle(s). You are who make Doodle Kisses fabulous!

Thanks so much for the fun you've added to my day! Let's celebrate a year of doodle adventure!

In honor of our 1 year anniversary, our front page photo slide show theme will be "Doodle Kisses" and I'll be cycling through our past Doodle Kisses slide show too.

Enjoy the fireworks!

Happy 1st Birthday Doodle Kisses!!!

Adina, you created a wonderful, friendly community place for people to learn and brag about their dogs. You are so creative and keep coming up with new and fun things to keep people coming back. You have made the site both user friendly yet fun for the more technologically advanced members too.
Thank you.

Thanks Adina for putting so much energy into this site. I am so happy that I have found this site because I got so many good ideas here and it's so much fun to share your doodle experiences with others.
I have found only nice people here and although there are not so many people from Europe still most of the issues are the same.
Keep going with your great work for us. Thank you!!!!!

Adina - you and others on this board got me through the horrible biting, mouthing, nipping stage with Toby. He's turning into a great dog, and it would have been difficult to get here without the help of the Doodlekisses community. Thanks for your work in running this site!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOODLE KISSES!!!!!

Happy First Birthday Doodle Kisses!! I just love this site. Thanks for being brave and taking a chance Adina...all the doodles say "ruff ruff" (thank you!))

I think it must be hard to measure the magnitude of just exactly what you or what Clark pushed you to do. But you not only have given crazy doodle owners a place to "join" but you are benefiting the breed by keeping owners involved in their doodles lives, helping others find homes, creating enthusiasm, teaching, promoting, the list is endless. Most importantly you have allowed a place for like-minded people to become friends and have fellowship with one another. You and Clark have done something tremendous for the doodles that I think will only truly be able to be measured years from now.
It has been amazing to watch it grow…like a weed.
As always thank you for all you do.

[Leslie and Halas]

It's a double celebration day for me, because it's also the last day of tax season!!! Yippie!!!

Halas and I love Doodle Kisses, and I'm definitely addicted. I'm looking forward to spending more time on dk now that tax season is almost done.

Thanks for starting this great website!
