The Warm Fuzzy Game

    Ed (Xerxes)- Unsure where to even start with yours Edward… I feel thankful for finding idog on a random search one day for many reasons. I am thankful for the knowledge I have gained, the help I have gotten from others to be a better doggie mom and for the multitude of wonderful people I have met here. BUT.. above all other reasons, the thing I am most thankful for finding this board, is getting to know you.  You told me one time that knowing my dh and I has restored your faith in humanity and I want you to know that you have done exactly the same for us. I know that if we lived in the same city, Jim and I would look forward to spending a great many evenings around the dinner table with you and I can't think of a more pleasant night.  You are a TRULY GOOD PERSON with a heart of gold, an incredibly bright mind, caring spirit and a remarkable sense of humor.  I am PROUD to call you my friend.

    Alieliza-  I'm so happy that you offered helpful solutions to a craigslist poster.  Your kind & generous advice may have saved a dobes life.  I love to see pics of Tyson & your garden.  I really appreciate what you do for PR for your breed.

    There are too many to mention... where to start...

    Thank you, jjsmom, for this thread. Your dogs are beautiful. We really could use more photos of them, you know! [:)

    Thanks to all the idoggers who are so generous with advice: mudpuppy, spiritdogs, mrv, calliecritturs, ratsicles (who is also amazing in her care for so many ;pets and incredibly creative with their names), janet_rose, Angelique, ixas_girl, snownose (to name a few). Sandra_slayton, lorib, loveyoukaykay, mollymoo, fuzzydogsmom, luvntzus for always being so kind and encouraging. DPU for his work in rescue (and for tirelessly welcoming all the newbies in the Introduction Area), Lori for her dedication to Willow, Ron and Annie for their humor, xeph for being down-to-earth, Ed for successfully turning everyone into a Pharoah Hound fan, espencer and irishsettergirl for not being afraid to speak their minds...         

    And thank you Glenda for sharing your homecooked recipe with me!

    mudpuppy - for telling it like it is.  For being wise and concise and telling us what we need to hear, even if we dont like it.... yet always keeping within the boundaries of respect.  I wish I was half as knowledgeable and eloquent as you are.

    Okay, things have finally settled down here a bit so I can add some warm fuzzies of my own.
     
    Mostly I just love this board because even though we may have differences the one thing that binds us is our love for dogs.  Warm fuzzies just for that. 
     
    In no particular order:
     
    The Pibble owners for being advocates for a much maligned breed.  For speaking for those that can't speak for themselves.  BIG kudos & it warms my heart to see such devotion.
     
    Shelly (JJ'smom) for being caring, your concern for me & my headaches was very helpful & grounding when I was losing it.  Also for starting this much needed thread when things were getting very stressful in here.
     
    Oh geeze, I need to go.  I'm late for an appointment.  There will be more later.
     
    I want to thank the people who said warm fuzzies about me.  I literally got teary eyed, reading them.  Thanks for making my day.

    g33-  I appreciate that you are willing to look for advice to further yourself as a person and make things better for your family.  It is hard to face the fact that we all have things to work on in our life and your ability to recognize that speaks to your character.

    I would also like to echo the thanks to all the pitbull owners out there for being ambassadors for their breed.  All very beautiful dogs and wonderful people.
     
    And to Grady's mom, I have always just sensed such kindness from you whenever I read your posts.

    Julie, Ashley, Janet and Missy - you're welcome for the sigs, although I really like doing them so I should be thanking you!

    Houndlove- I ALWAYS find your posts helpful and I love your sense of humor and outlook on life. Probably what I am most appreciative for though is the thorough and totally detailed pms you provided me regarding certain aspects of training your hounds.  I found these so incredibly insightful and I really appreciated the time you took to write them out to me.

    Gina (RWBeagles)-  Above all else, I appreciate your light heartedness and sense of humor on this board. You also provide very valuable assistance to others and are an excellent moderator.
