“Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.” -- Og Mandino
"Will we change the world? You know the answer by now. You can count on it." -- Joe Solmonese
Hello! Welcome to Mel’s chat page! Mel is a black, large standard Australian Labradoodle who was born on May 12, 2003. He has a fleece/wool coat and is about 28 inches tall and a scrawny 58 pounds. He is a very mellow dog and very easy to live with. He is very poodley, so I often refer to him as my "poodley-dood".
Any posts that are anonymous, hostile, or dealing with any sort of "political" issue will be deleted. Our goal in designing this chat page is to provide a safe place for labradoodle/goldendoodle lovers to talk about their wonderful dogs, but it is NOT a place where any sort of hostile debate will occur. The moderator of the page is who determines what posts are deleted, not the contributors to the page. If you do not wish to abide by these rules, we kindly ask that you do not contribute to the page. We take pride in the fact that we have, for 3 years, been able to provide a chat page that is family friendly and free from doodle politics. Everyone that posts here understands that, and we are proud to present to you the very best of the doodle world!
At the bottom of the page we have added a "Mel's Words of Wisdom" section. The quotes are all from my personal favorite list, or ones emailed to me. If you have a favorite quote or poem you would like added, please drop me a line and let me know. Also, if you would like to have a link added to our favorite links section, please let me know via email. Thank you!How to Post a Photo:

"You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.
Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing what's in store makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores.
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky.
I'll never reach my destination if I never try,
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.

To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today.
