Disappearing Doodlers?

[F, Calla & Luca]

In the last number of months a number of very active DK members have disappeared from our pages. I was beginning to think we had a DK serial killer. I wasn't particularly involved with any of them but I did wonder about them Some I have learned had family illnesses, others ?  I think people should check in once in a while to say hello, I'm OK  etc. Or tell someone else on DK to let us know. It's funny but I think we can become attached in some ways, and get to know folks we meet online daily. Obviously real life takes precedence. Any thoughts?

Thank you Rachel! Hopefully my doods will be good with the baby. Sheba will probably be fine but Duke is my klutzy roughneck. I'll have to keep an eye on that boy. I agree, babies and doodles bring out smiles! I have seen a slideshow on the main page that featured babies and doodles. It was adorable!

[F, Calla & Luca]

That was a wonderful slide show. Please tell Duke I said he needs to go to coordination classes ASAP.

[Ann Kendig]

I'll check into it and see if there is such a thing. He needs help...

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

OMG! We better get that puppy adopted pronto!

[Ann Kendig]

Awww, I'm not ready yet!! : ) There's no rush! Gotta find her a wonderful home.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Congratulations. We'll understand seeing less of you under such joyous circumstances but please just stop by on occasion.

[Ann Kendig]

I will. I have to have my DK fix!

[Ann Kendig]

Ha, DK serial killer. Funny!
I haven't been on much lately as I have been pretty busy. My hubby has been on more than I have! (Thanks for trying to get him to sign up for his own page, F. I guess I'll have to do it for him : ) I have wondered about several people too and miss them!

Yeah... When I first got involved with DK, there was this woman, and her chocolate doodle... It was even before I got Charlie...
When she disappeared, I felt like, you know, lost, or something...she later came back and told us that her life got too busy and stuff. So that was nice of her to let us know...
Yeah, I do miss some of the active members who are sort of distance, right now.....Especially, if you met them in person at the romp, etc...

I wonder about people who have left here too. It's really odd for me to try to sort things like this out. I remember when a person whose blog I followed religiously broke the news that her and her DH were getting a divorce, and he would be getting their dog. (it was a blog dedicated to adventures with their dog) This meant she would no longer be blogging. I didn't really know her... but I felt like I did. I read about her and her pup for somewhere around 2 years! It was bizarre to me that I should be so shocked and sad, but I was.

It is even worse here on DK because I actually interact with people. I feel like I have truly great friends here... even if we have never seen each other. The internet is strange!

[F, Calla & Luca]

I understand what you mean Camilla. We don't only "know" you but the family, too.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I do often think about (and miss) some of the DK members who don't post any more. I should really go through my friends list and send messages to some of them.
