A big THANK YOU to our Cruise Organizer, Jane (Rooney & Stuart)
Posted on October 10, 2012 at 12:12pm 20 Comments 1 Favorite
I just wanted to send a BIG thank you to Jane for ALL of the work she did organizing our FIRST EVER Doodle Cruise sans Doodles, of course). She spent endless hours....doing too many things even to list here. Not to mention all of her hospitality in Miami (pre-cruise cocktails and snacks), Bon Voyage drinks always available in our cabin (spiced rum, Baileys, vodka), adorable Doodle Kisses doorhangers, arranging the door decorating contest and all of the prizes she brought (yes, we were the…

Oh, and so is her momma! It has been a rough 3-1/2 months since I found out that my DH (and I no longer mean dear) wanted to continue his life without me. I had just started a new job and was in a town we had relocated to because of his job.
My dream house (had built on a golf course) has been up for sale for the past 3 months...getting some action on it now and I am praying it sells soon. Many people have said they wanted to buy it, but they had a house to sell first. …

My DH's beloved grandpa died this morning. He was the greatest man I have ever known and has touched so many people. He lived a wonderful and full 96 years and is now at home with the Lord and is walking in Heaven with his wife Mitzi and his son Bill (DH's dad).
The funeral hasn't been arranged yet, but I just know we will have such a special time together paying tribute to Elmer Bergman! He will be missed by so many.

It is so hard to believe that Rua will turn 1 tomorrow! She is the absolute love of my life (of course, my DH is, but in a different way....you all know what I mean) and it just seems like we brought her home. The last 10 months have flown by so quickly.
The progression from:
- Crates and ex-pens to roaming the house and sleeping on the bed.
- Trips outside every hour to "potty", Poochie bells (upstairs and downstairs) on the doors, purchasing a gallon…

Meet on the beach at the base of the sand stairs. Bring water, since there are only faucets on the upper part of the park.
Woof, woof, woof, spread the word.

Dori, Just checking in to see how you are doing and to say "Hi!".
How fun! She will get to be about 25 -30 lbs her breeder thought. Now she is 13 lbs and 4 months old. Your Rua is so cute I love her red color! Ruby is in the bighting stage right now, but we still love her to pieces! Any tips on stopping that? She is just so much fun. Do you clip Rua's hair or take her to a groomer? I clipped around Ruby's eyes, because she couldn't see any more but her hair is getting so long and have clipped her nails a couple of times too.
Hi Dori! Hope you are well. It's been a rough year but I'm glad to be back on DK. Hope to visit with you soon.
Donna
Happy Birthday, Dori! I hope you are thoroughly enjoying being back in CA. Have a wonderful birthday and may the year ahead be filled with celebrating!
Happy Birthday Dori, we hope you have a wonderful day. We miss seeing you and the adorable Miss Rua around here. BTW I love your profile pic.
Happy Birthday Dori! Hope your day is wonderful with lots of love, surprises, celebration and of course, oodles of Doodle Birthday kisses! Have a great day!
