Sound the horns, ring the bells: the HDA has arrived!

[Rosemary (Ro) and Enzo]

WhoooHoooo! Shout it from the rooftops, sound the horns and ring the bells! The coveted HDA award has arrived in San Diego! Linda, of Linda, Charlie Brown and Beau, has graciously sent on to Enzo and I, the beautiful HDA medal and a bevy of assorted gifts and treats.




Soooo many wonderful goodies! A bag full yummy popcorn, that DH and I have been fighting over and a set of wonderful smelling spice rubs. These will help me look like a Master Chef in future bar-b-ques! ( I need all the help I can get ;) )
And then there is this:



A purse charm with Enzo engraved on a small heart and Hopeless Doodle Addict on a larger charm. This just brought a huge smile to my face, but also a few tears. Tears of happiness and appreciation! Thanks again, Linda. I will cherish this always!


Enzo is in heaven with all her new toys and treats. She is torn which to carry around first...I think the "grin" says it all!



I found DK quite by accident, last July, when Enzo became part of our Family. A long time dog owner, and former Breeder of Golden Retrievers, I have learned so very much, from the very many knowledgable members of DK. That and a bond that forms between us Doodle owners, has made DK one of the best...NO....THE BEST, forum/website/place to come, learn and make some wonderful friends. Thank you DK from the bottom of both my and Enzo's hearts. We are honored to call you all friends!
