pity party for me and t.g.f.m.d. (thank god for my doodle)

[Sally]

So some of you might remember I mentioned last year that i met a guy at the dog park (he has 2 german shorthaired pointers) and I thought that he might be THE ONE! Well not only did it not work out the way I wanted but I recently discovered a lot about what's happened in the last year that I didn't know before. Let's just say he met someone else within days of me and the "other girl" seems to have won. (although i guess he thought he could try us out at the same time. She can have him since I don't accept cheaters. But the kicker is that she is SO eerily similar to me....

1. Her name Stacy....mine...Sally

2. She has a dog.....so do i

3. she is a graphic designer....so am i

4. she runs marathons....so do i

5. she has a love of cake and writes a blog called for runningforcake. I have a love for cake and my best friend's blog (and our relay running team name) is runningonbutter

 

OK so with all that said I've been crying my eyes out (not to mention my mom fell and broke her nose on the bus and my best friend had surgery that was 6 1/2 hours long and there's a chance what they removed could be malignant).

All I can say is t.g.f.m.d. THANK GOD FOR MY DOODLE!!!!!! Duncan is absolutely the most amazing dog and I don't know how i'd get through my day without him. He licks my tears before they make it past my cheek and cuddles with me tighter and tighter each day. He goes with the flow. If I spend all day with him he'll take it! If i'm occupied he'll just nap by my feet....

 

I know we all love our doodles and that is why this site is so amazing! It's really great to know we all have this secret about what it's like to love a doodle.....

 

And we STILL go to the dog park.=)

Sally..the other girl did not win as you put it..YOU WON...she is stuck with a cheating, liar.  Thank goodness you found out now and not later.  I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt...only I was married to the guy.  It sucks and it is okay to cry.  Every person in your life, including the losers, bring something to your life, teach you something, and contribute to the person that you are and the person that you will become.  Everything happens for a reason and I firmly believe that.  It may not be evident today or tomorrow, but one day you will understand why this person was in your life and why he left your life and why you have had this experience. It is all part of the wonderful person that makes up "you".  For now I would say that the reason you have Duncan is to get you through this bump in the road :)    You are so very lucky to have your Duncan!  Hang in there and one day soon you will forget to cry and that day is the day it starts getting easier.

[Gail+Kathleen,(Sydney+Olivia:)]

Sally,  it's OK to cry.  They say when it rains it pours but the sun will be shinning soon.  And, if you want to, you will meet your real soul mate.  He is out there looking for you!

[Frannie & Callie]

Onward and upwards indeed! I'm a single doodle mom and cannot tell you how many times a friend/family member has told me to "relax my standards" just a little bit. Um, I don't have a standard on looks, money, or anything (very) superficial. My standards are all around how I am treated. Obviously, your standards are in the same place and is it GOOD. Hold out for the guy who KNOWS you are the only one for him...not the one who wants to sample and keep his options open! (btw - your listing of similarities cracked me up...I've dated 4 different men named Steve...and 2 of them have had previous girlfriends named Frances. Three of the Steves have married women who look markedly like me...everyone has a type!!)

 

Hang in there!!!!! Let Duncan be your #1 guy for a while!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I love my DH but sometimes I would rather just be alone with dood and chi (they don't talk back to me - lol).  So count yourself lucky that you have a wonderful doodle!  You are too good for said man anyway!

[Lindsey]

(((hugs))) at least you didn't end up "winning" a cheater! Scum bag, yuck.

Aren't doodles the BEST :-) They love you no matter what...hang in there, you'll be in my thoughts.

[Sally]

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Onward and upward...

[Nina, Phil, Harlow & Lacey]

Sally, It was better to know sooner than later that this guys was a dud.  You gotta love our doodles even more in times like these.

[Sue & Willy Babe]

I too agree with Camilla you are better off without the guy !!!  BESIDES our doodles love us know matter how we look, feel or what kind of day we are having!!! There love is unconditional and are NOT looking somewhere else all the time !!

[Jennifer and Jack]

You say the other girl "won" I say you won, Who needs a man like that in your life. You win for not having a loser in your life.....

[Lynn D.]

Girlfriend, you just took (a big) one for the team! I've been there too, but it took me a lot longer to figure out that the guy is a (major) creep. Now I carry a very big stick!

I am sorry that this happened to you. This weasel is a jerk faced dummy head!  FYI, it will get better.
