Halas' Big Weekend
Friday started out great with the notice that Halas is the cover boy and Mr. January in one of the DoodleKisses 2009 calendars! We soaked in all of the congratulatory feelings sent our way by all of our DK friends. We also told all of our non-DK friends and relatives about it. Everyone is very excited. It's Halas' 2nd calendar, as he won a contest earlier in the year and had his photo professionally taken to appear in another 2009 calendar, sold here in our area. Incidentally, the photo that won that contest is the same photo that appears in the DK calendar. I knew there was a reason I liked that photo.
Anyway, the fun continued today. An anonymous donor gave $100,000 to our park a few months ago to build a dog park. It's finally finished, and the "leash cutting" ceremony was today. So we finally have a dog park! We just got back, and Halas is exhausted. He barely made it in the door before flopping on the floor to go to sleep. He had a blast playing with all of the dogs and meeting people. It was very exciting for us, because Halas won a trophy. He won the title of Fluffiest Dog! I brushed him out about 1/2 hour before we went, so that he would be at his maximum fluffiness. I don't think any of the other dogs even came close.
Of course, lots of people asked what kind of dog he was. Most had heard of goldendoodles, but had not seen one this small, this color, this fluffy, etc. But all comments were very positive. No negative comments about designer dogs, etc.
We saw 3 other doodles there, but they were all standards. We'll probably spend most of our time on the small dog side, so I don't know if we'll see them much. But, if we do, we'll be sure to tell them all about DoodleKisses!

Yeah me too! I 'know' he's not a standard, but he looks like an ample doggy =) All that fluffy award winning coat I guess. Congrats on all the fun and excitement!

What a wonderful weekend for you & Halas; clearly, he is an all around winner!
It surprises me to hear that he is "small"; he doesn't look so small in his pictures!
