Her status should never be reduced to mere "doctor."

She is much too helpful for that.
So what title would you bestow upon her? I'm sure you can come up with a good one!

Safe travels and Merry Christmas, Pugsy!! I agree, you are both an angel and the best "doctor" I've found.

Dr. Pugsy... I wholeheartedly agree! An honorary title of Doctor for all of the guidance and wisdom she humbly shares here on the forum. Honorary Angel wings for all of the things she does 'behind the scenes' (PM's, E-mails, Phone calls) which most of us don't ever know about unless we are one of the people blessed with her help! There are a number of great, helpful, giving, loving, and supportive people here on the forum, but there is only one Pugsy!

Good work! Mensch is definitely in my vocabulary for folks like you and Pugsy and I assumed Mahatma Gandhi so it had to be something special! Thanks.
