    Claire & Jazzie:

    Everytime I see a Jazzie picture thread I burst into smiles. There's something about that pupper that is impossible not to love ! Even from afar :) Thank you for sharing him with us on such a regular basis, and thank you for always having encouraging words for people. Yours and Jazzie's personalities shine through your posts.

    Ron- What I appreciate most about you is that sometimes your posts are so dead on accurate it amazes me.  When this happens and I pm you to tell you how much I thought  you were spot on with your post, I fully enjoy our pm conversations discussing that issue. I spend most that time shaking my head feeling like I am reading a pm that "I" wrote to someone else.  These are most enjoyable times.

    jjsmom06- Thanks so much for starting this thread! Sometimes I think this message board is bad for my blood pressure and this really lightened things up. I also appreciate your openmindedness! It has never been such a pleasure to disagree with someone.

    chewbecca-Thanks for being an all around cool person and for telling me how to make rope leashes!

    huskymom-I think you're very awesome and I appreciate your presence on the board. I can't exactly put my finger on it, I just really like you.

    Liesje - There were a coupleof threads I started where I was feeling really desperate and out of options and you were one of only a few people who responded. You read the whole thing and responded thoughtfully and sincerely. I appreciated that so much! You always seem to be passionate about dogs while willing to listen - thoroughly - to others, which I think is really admirable. You're also doing an incredible amount to prepare for the Chopmeister, who is truly a lucky girl. (Dogs have lived perfectly well with far less attentive owners, so don't be scared! You don't have to be perfect - you'll be great!) I think you also bring an unusual perspective to the board because of your special life experiences and I always enjoy reading your posts and hearing what you have to say.

    Kate (benedict)-  You are one of a handful of folks on this forum that if I left idog,  I know I would have to stay in touch. You are a caring and compassionate person and have been a good friend.  You have a way with words that helps me to make things “clear” in my mind.  You are fun to joke and spar with and as well as to hold a serious conversation with. I can#%92t wait till you are closer to the states and dh and I get to actually meet you and your dh.  We both look forward to that. I have to laugh now when I make a new recipe or email a recipe to my stepdtr… she always says “oh.. did this come from your friend from England?”  lmao…

    Shelly, that was a lovely thing to say and I thank you. All I can really say is ditto, and laugh at the recipe thing! [:D]

    While I am here....I am grateful for the forum for many things..but if I had to pick one, it is that I met Sera_J here. I know internet friendships can be a strange thing...but she is no longer a "net friend"...she hasn't been that for ages. She's one of my best friends and she just happens to live far away. She knows how much I adore and admire her, and she had better not ever forget it!

    janet rose- I am always in awe of your ability to come up with helpful links for idoggers. You are truly the "link queen' in my eyes and your posts are most helpful to others.

    Vinia - Thanks for being a science nut, like me. And for having that lovely New Zealand accent.[:D] (I've never heard you speak but I know the accent and I can hear it in my head when I read your posts.)

    Mudpuppy - your bluntness is appreciated. You don't beat around the bush which is so rare sometimes.

     
    This is exactly what I was going to say, ... so..  Ditto!

    I'll have you know I read this whole thread. This is a tough one because there are so many people I encounter on this board that teach me, make me laugh, make me feel less nuts....  I feel like if I remember some and not others I'm doing them a disservice. So let me start out by saying I'm a twit, I forget things.

    The Schmee - thank you very much. That makes me feel pretty good.

    Ron - thank you very much. That me feel pretty hot.

    JJsmom (Shelly) - this is going to sound weird, but meeting you (out  here on the web) was kind of a relief. Not sure how to explain this, but you have great energy - even through the ether. I think it's because you seem to take my wackiness in stride. So thanks.

    Glenmar, Spiritdogs, SnowNose, MRV - you all are some powerful individuals, and it has been my pleasure to get to know you on this forum.

    Xeph - you remind me of myself in so many ways; that's why I know you'll be fine.

    Irishsettergirl - youth and energy and self-awarness; I dig that.

    I "get" your comment, makes perfect sense and thanks you for it [:)].  Ever considered that maybe I take your wackiness in stride cuz I am just as wacky[;)]

    Mutual wackiness might explain it. Wacks of a feather and all that LOL!

    OMG Gina!  Thank you so much for LOL dogs and LOL cats. That thread is like tonic to me.
