Welcome, Gary Elkins!

Oh, I forgot to mention.  I am not sure what your interests are, but if there is not already a groups which are of interest to you, you can always start a group and ask others to join you. Just jump right in.

I saw in your profile that you groom Pascal and you do a great job - I am envious.  I do the basics - brushing every other day to keep their coats mat free and trim their faces, brush there teeth, etc, but for their baths they go to the groomer. I enjoy the photography group.  I am not a great photographer, but I have learned a lot from this group.  They have monthly assignments and they will critique your photos if you ask.  There are some very good photographers in this group and some that actually have their own photography businesses.  Every year, in September photo submissions are accepted for the doodle calendars - one of which is posted on the main page.  You might keep this in mind when you are taking photos of Pascal - he is so cute and would look great in the calendar!  I also keep tabs on the food group (mainly for food recalls) and also the grooming group occasionally.  I love the Les Pooch brushes and buy them through Kemp who owns Doodle Country Store (he is also a member of DK).  I do not get all the posts in my email because it can be overwhelming, so I just drop into DK once a day and to see what is happening.  Looking forward to seeing you and Pascal on DK.

Hi Gary ~ Pascal is such a cutie!  When you get a chance be sure to check out the groups section on the main page and join as many as you like.  Welcome to Doodle Kisses!
