We're So Excited!

WOW! This is a special day for Finnegan and me!! We’ve reached HDA status! We’re so excited!!!

Well, at least one of us is.

But what does HDA status mean exactly?

I’m thinking the emphasis here is on the word “hopeless.” Doris says I’ve been hopeless for a while. LOL. Just because I sent her that well deserved shirt. I didn’t tell you that Finnegan now sports a second address tag on his collar that says, “Kiss me I’m a prince”” did I?? It’s true, Doris! And Finn would like to thank you for that!

After two years, I’m still head over heels in love with my doodle guy, having survived Puppy Madness. He’s the happiest, gentlest, wisest old soul I know, the best snuggler, and just plain silly sometimes. He’s my heart dog –and he brought me to DK! But I’m thinking the “doodle” means I’m now in love with a lot of other great DK doodles!

I came to DK when Finn was a pup looking for advice. I thought some of the profile pages and the photos were awesome! Gracie Girl and that little Lion King, Banjo were the first to win us over. So much love and creativity! I told Finnegan, “Someday you’ll have a page like that! Then we went away, then we came back and lurked for a while, and finally we jumped in! (BTW Finnegan still doesn’t have the page I promised …maybe when I’m retired I’ll figure out how to customize it with all those cute photos at the top.)

I think “addict’ means I owe a special thanks to F’s Photography Group, the Training Group, Karen’s Food Group and Laurie’s blogs for turning us me into a DK addict. And as I told Finn, we can’t leave anytime soon because I now have a camera that is going to take me years to learn, there’s more training to do, there are too many doodles on the prayer list, and we’ve never gone to Dewey Beach. Besides that– I want to know how many more times Laurie can post that bikini photo!! :)

So I just wanted to say that although my house was probably cleaner before DK, I spend far too much time at work now checking in, and Finnegan thinks I spend too much time on the computer, period (although he does like to bark and woohoo at your videos), we are proud and humbled by our new status. Finnegan wants me to tell you that you are some of the funniest, most caring, most interesting, talented, and feistiest people we’ve ever met! Even though we haven’t really met in person – we feel like you are friends. You all bring a smile to our day and you’ve helped us through some tough times. I hope we’ve helped pay it forward and will continue to be there for all of you. BTW, Finnegan wants you to know that he would love to play with any and all the DK doodles! So you’re welcome here anytime. Thanks to all of you for being a part of our life and helping me make Finnegan’s life better! We are hopeless and here to stay :)

If anyone can add anything to my definition, have at it! ~Cheryl and Finnegan

Way to go, Cheryl and Finnegan! I think you described the journey I am just beginning perfectly. If DK wasn't full of good advice, caring people, wonderful humor, and spectacular photography, my house would be less dusty for sure.
