Special DK Visitor

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Some of you may have seen to post from Sheri (Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom) about her DK bucket list and a visit this weekend.  Well today was the day.....and I was the lucky Doodle Kisses friend that she visited.  I've known Sheri ever since I joined DK and have always admired her.  She was such an inspiration as she went through so much with Sophie's illness and still always managed to help others.  She has fostered for the DRC five times, and who will ever forget what she did for Honey and those poor Doodles who were living outside.  She did this right after losing her precious Sophie and with a brand new puppy.  I always admired the Therapy work that she did and that inspired me to do the same with Guinness.  So to actually get to meet her today was really special.  She's here in CT for the weekend with her friend (Amy) and spent some time with us this morning.  It wasn't like we were meeting for the first time at all.....I think because we get to know each other here on DK it just feels like we're "old friends" (and I don't mean the "old" literally).  Anyway it was so fun, and Amy was so sweet to put up with all of our "Doodle gushing".  The boys loved meeting them and getting all that attention and Murph was just as sweet as can be (he's come a long way).  I did get the camera out, but with all the excitement my photography "skills" went right out the window.  Here are a few shots of Sheri, Amy and the Doodle boys.  Notice the adorable "Irish" bandannas that G&M are wearing....gifts from Sheri and Amy.  How cute are they!  They will be perfect for St. Pat's Day.

The boys are not allowed on the furniture (a by-product of Murph's issues)...but today was a "special occasion".

With our son Tim....Murph wasn't letting Sheri get too far away.So it was a great morning and I'm so happy to have finally met Sheri....and so are the Irish Brothers.  Murph did quite a wonderful job of "showering" the ladies with Doodle Kisses....trying to fill in for Lucy and AnnaBelle.

Sheri, PA isn't all that far :)

After changing our flight to try and get home between the ice storm this morning and the snow that is start a little later this afternoon we are back safely at home in Ohio!  Getting to meet Jane and her family along with the Irish Brothers was definitely the highlight of the trip for me.  As Jane said, it was like we had known each other forever. After getting showered with Doodle Kisses from the Brothers we had a lovely little spread of goodies that Jane had prepared.  I have to tell you the boys were so sweet.  Guinness was beside himself getting to get up on the sofa.  After being Doodle less for over 24 hours I was ready for some kisses and they did not disappoint.  Jane's home and her family are both lovely.  Tim was so cute and it was so much fun getting to meet him and share some of the things that he enjoys so much as well.  Thank you Jane for having us!  Wonder who on my DK Bucket list I'll get to see next!

What a wonderful visit! The pictures are great except for your absence: ) It's so great to meet people you've know known for a long time.

Love that you all got to meet and hang out with the Irish boys!  The dogs are looking gorgeous, and the people are pretty darn good lookin' too.  :)

Just love that you got to meet! The Irish Brothers are very handsome in their new bandanas and seem very happy with their special guests! The photos are just wonderful!

Laurie, Tim will be happy to see you and John again in October....I overheard him tell our daughter last night "how nice all Mom's dog friends are".

BTW, your home is lovely and it was good to "see" Tim again :)
