It was a damp, gloomy day and I was suffering with a bad cold, when the mail carrier came to the door with a box from Lynda Kamrath in CA. I carried the box into the living room and cut it open with a knife. Jersey and Jasmine was sniffing like crazy, trying to see what was inside. The duck toy that Groucho Too and Harpo sent must have been calling Jersey. She grabbed it out of the box and was running around throwing it up in the air and shaking it. She finally shared it with Jasmine, who perferred to snuggle with it. Lynda, who is very talented and creative made us a photo canvas of the "Jersey Girls" in the St Patty's day costumes, two hand made pillow covers. Her husband, Charlie made a handsome business card holder out of wood. Lynda also enclosed two of her books for me to read. "The Taking" by her favorite author, Dean Koontz and another, "Dog On It" , Spencer Quinn. Then, I found the HDA Trophy all wrapped up carefully in foam and bubble wrap. Of course the girls had to check it out and pose for their photo. I enjoyed reading through the journal, and seeing how far this trophy and journal had travelled before it got to me. We are thrilled with all of our beautiful gifts that Lynda sent and hope the person that receives the box from us will be happy with it's contents as well.

NEW CHANGES IN THE WAY THE HDA TROPHY WILL BE FORWARDED ON:

 

"According to Adina, everyone on the current HDA list who wants the trophy has now had it. So, because we can only see past the current HDA list, the way we'll be determine the next HDA recipient from now on will change starting now! If you have reached HDA status and have not yet received the trophy then you can be NEXT simply by responding to this discussion and stating so! First come, first serve! Let me know that you want to be next and if you have HDA status on your page, you'll be the next to receive this trophy!"

[BG and Gavin]

My what a big tongue you have!  The better to lick you with!

[Sally, Ditzy Mitzi & Sgt. Pepper]

Hey!  This is great!  The thought of getting the trophy never seemed possible as I have so few points.  The way I

am, it could take years!   Maybe.........with the power of positive thinking.......

[Adina P]

Sally (and anyone else), the more you participate on DK by responding to posts, commenting on pages, joining groups, etc the more points you'll earn =)   Just play daily on DK and you can earn your HDA in no time!

[Sally, Ditzy Mitzi & Sgt. Pepper]

Adina, thanks for the info.   I tend to read more than I write, maybe we could get a point or two just for checking in.....LOL !

Congratulations! How adorable!! What is HDA status? I would love to join in. :)

[Adina P]

Cessy if you look on your profile page, you'll see on the left column, a ways down you are listed as "Doodle Curious" under "my ranking" -- and you have 200 or so points.  HDA is equivalent to Hopeless Doodle Addict and that ranking means the person has earned 8000 points or more.  You earn points every time you participate on DK in the forums, groups, commenting on people's pages, etc.  Have fun!

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

Woo Hoo Congratulations!!! I'd love to get on that list too! I'm dying to get my paws on that trophey!!!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Congratulations to you and your beautiful Doodles on this awesome HDA recognition!  Those are some great surprises from Lynda.

[Becky and Bella]

Bella would love to receive the trophy at some point, but I am not sure if we have the needed points.  It looks like a lot of fun!

 

[Jersey, Jasmine, Jypsy and Diane]

Go a few (about five) responses up and click on the link. I didn't really know what it was either. Thanks Sherrie, Jane and Becky.

 

[Linda and Jewel]

I hope to reach 8000 points some day. I am only at Doodle Curious...  Looks like fun and I know Jewel would love that Duckie...  She played with one just like it until one day it had no more stuffing.   

What is it with dogs removing the stuffing??  :)

Congratulations Diane and girls! Love your photos! :-)
