I actually lurked for seven Months!!!!!!
Got laughs and giggles everyday from forum.
If one had a doodle and didn't read this forum they would surely think the damn dog was daffy, but wait............the dogs not nuts.......it's a doodle and it's acting normal. _________________ Skip & Kathy

I lurked for about a week or so and then hopped right in! I have learned TONS! I love this place
My husband makes fun of me relentlessly and always rolls his eyes when I say, "thats what they say on the doodle forum" Oh well! _________________ Lindsie, Cheri, Maggy, Skeet and Lea

I lurked for a couple of weeks. I found so much information and supportive folks here that I just knew I belonged here too. _________________ Diane |

I lurked when we started looking for a labradoodle. I think from the time my husband gave me the "go ahead" to get a dog to the time we brought Rosie home was about 2 1/2 weeks. I had sold him using the excuse that it would take a while to find a breeder, then we'd have to put a deposit down and wait for the puppies to be born and ready to come home. I was looking for Labradoodle rescues in the area but couldnt' find any so we thought we'd just suck it up and get an 8 week old puppy. We both work so we knew it would be a lot of work but we were really ready to add a canine member to our family. Then I came across Jacque's site and blog and knew that it was meant to be. She had "older" pups and I immediately thought it was perfect. The rest of the story is a fairy tale.  |

|

I don't really like to be known as the long time lurker - its sounds ominous - but its true. It took me months of reading before I joined. My friend who has a black lab found this site for me when I was "thinking" of getting a doodle. After reading all the various posts about everyone's doodles, the doodle 500, and of course their unconditional love - well all of your posts helped to convince me to get going on getting my dood!! I can't wait to leave work and go home, rush through the door and see him - all wagging tail and gigantic paws.  |

Professor Brinkley's mom........would you prefer we call you a peeping tom voyeur? hahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Glad you and all others joined this forum!!!
I myself found this forum AFTER we got Max and I must say it's been great for me, my family and all 3 doodles.
1. I can be a Doodleaholic with proudness here
2. I can learn so much and get great advice when i have a concern, question or anything i am not sure about with my doodles.
3. I get teased to no end thus i feel "the LOVE" many times
4. I have had coffee run out of my nose, choking and gasping for air
DUE TO laughing so hard at someone's post.
5. I've made some great friendships as well.
6. Lastly, I was coined Queen of TYPOS and hoping someone else steps up to take over for me soon.
any takers out there? step right up, it's yours for the asking!
this forum is MORE than anyone could wish/ask for!
PS i will write and post a new blog article soon  _________________ Annmarie, Max,& Peanut

Absolutely - positively - nope, no, nada. I believe one could be prosecuted for being a voyeur - aka peeing tom or thomasina? I have turned over a new leaf no more "lurking" for me!! One step ahead of the law.... |

Annie, Tanner was a wonderful gift, How sweet. I picked up Samantha on a saturday and then came home and found the site the same day. I have been happily posting daily since. _________________ If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise.

I lurked for a little over a year...we had been looking at doodles for two years, and finally got one in January. I felt I needed to actually have my doodle before I could post  |
