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,
Little did I know this site was still in it;s infancy when I found it last July, but it has been so educational, fun, inspiring and well organized. You have the best members of any forum I have seen, so respectful and eager so share thier wealth of knowledge. I for one, (and Murphy, seconds it) am very thankful to you for doing all you do. I know I would not have been given the gift of such a wonderful breeder and fantastic puppy if it weren;t for you and this site. I tell everyone about it!!!!

Thank Adina, and all who are on this site. It's like having a huge family with so much support no matter when you need it, or what the issues are. Always lending an ear to help or talk with no matter what life through's at us. I read so much about Jess, and other people on here with health problems or other serious problems and think "Wow, you are going through so much more than what I have to deal with, if you can deal with it, I certainly can make it through all my problems." Love you all, and Thank You ALL, looking forward to many years on here with my two furballs...lol.

Happy Birthday Doodle Kisses!!!
Adina, you have given us a place to share and learn! 'Back in the day' we fed our pups anything off the market shelves, got our pups from any store and hoped that they didn't tear the house apart. You have given us a place to learn what is best for our Doodles to help them be a fantastic family member and to keep them healthy for a very long time. I have learned so much and there are really no words that can truly say just how much I appreciate all you do!
Happy Birthday!!
Love,
Adrianne
