The outpouring of love and thank you we all demonstrated to Karen and Jackdoodle, in the only tangible way we can, was beyond everyone's expectations. We all know how much time and dedication she gives to DK and she never asks for anything from us. I think she now knows how very much she means to us as a doodle loving community.
"Independent, responsible and stubborn"were words used to describe her recently in all the emails flying back and forth to set this venture in motion. ( there were easily more than 200 in my inbox alone).
Yes, we all know she can and will take care of Jack and all his needs, no matter what. . Yes, we all know that it can be embarrassing to receive gifts when your MO is to only give, give, give. But she accepted our words and gifts of thank you with genuine heartfelt appreciation and class.
And for the dozens and dozens of us who participated, I can say, it was a pleasure to be able to give to Karen and JD for once.
None of us will probably ever be able to educate her, lessen her fears, or contribute to the health of her JD like she has for all of us and our doods.
As a group we will be sending Karen over $2500.00 by next wednesday. Thank you to everyone who participated and to those that helped get this going so quickly and effeciently.
There were probably about 20 DK members involved in this process and everyone played a part even if it was just confirming that we should do this at all. SOOOO, Please remember that Karen when you are handing out your "wrathitude" .
We are all in JD's corner!
P.S. Today is the "last call" for accepting your gifts. Please go to link to contribute. .

PPSS. Again thank you Karen. I write this while watching two healthy, happy dogs run and jump and wrestle and play ball and swim in the pool. And you had a big hand in them being what they are today.
