From Friday through Monday, I noticed / learned something valuable about dogs. Dogs can make weekends great!
Harley and Jaxson certainly did. They provided two very special gifts that I wasn’t expecting and it was fabulous…
MY FIRST GIFT –
❤️ The gift of happiness for someone else.
My oldest sibling and only brother Harold (whom I affectionately call “Bubba”) lives approx 100 miles away.
For months we’ve all been waiting patiently for he and my sister-in-law to travel to Charleston. This weekend, our dreams came true.
Harold is currently undergoing some medical treatments so scheduling consecutive days away from home are challenging. But waiting for the right time made the visit all the more sweeter. #patienceyieldsrewards
When it comes to dogs, my brother and I are kindred spirits. We both grew up in a house wanting yet never having – pets.
He’s a huge Harley fan and simply adored Leo.
I could not WAIT for him to meet my pre-adolescent Doodle Jaxson. And when he did, my suspicions were “spot on” – they became forever friends…
I sincerely believe no matter what your battling, whatever your demon / issue / illness – a dog can lift your spirits.
You’ll be surprised how much better you feel, even for just a weekend…
Although I know my brother will triumph over this adversity, I have been worried about him. #naturally
Watching him with my Boys even kept me smiling and laughing!
MY SECOND GIFT –
❤️ The UPS man!
Because of the Boys, I they receive boxes all the time. Companies ship items to me them in hopes of a product review. When this particular box arrived at our door on Friday, Inspector Doodle hopped into action and gave it the once-over with his nose only to walk away disgusted…
WHY? –
Nothing inside was edible!
The contents were more to my liking. #aboutdoodletime
These “Doods” even ganged up on me and refused to participate in a photo with my treasure trove of goodies…
Their lack of involvement could not restrain my delight –
- FINALLY – – – a box was delivered to the house FOR ME! #hellosomebody
- I love Fresh Wave products!
- Receiving their entire line in a beautifully wrapped gift basket made my day #donttakemuch…
This stuff smells so freaking good – #OMDoodle
And it’s not just for pet parents either, these are household products any and everyone would fall in love with.
Stay tuned for a complete review on all of these incredible Doodlelicious scented items…
Coming soon.
So…how was your weekend?

My two french bulldogs – I can almost promise you – it was definitely a tie! They were both enjoying each other.
July 18, 2016
Dogs make EFFURYDAY great! Glad your brother and sister-in-law are able to visit you-here’s hoping his health issues improve. With the fur help offered, no doubt that will be soon. 🙂
July 18, 2016
On Monika, you are so right! I do believe he’ll be back soon for some more doodle love, once you’ve had it – you always want some more!
July 18, 2016
Dear Cathy,
Glad the boys provided plenty of love for your brother.
Teddy does the same thing provided the visitor dispenses treats. He does this same thing for new packages, vets them for Doodle smells.
Regards,
Rich

Hey Rich – Thanks! I left the treat dispensing out. My brother wasn’t up for church on Sunday, and when they weren’t interested in dinner that evening I figured out why 🙂 #slickdoodleboys

We always make weekends great because we always plan Saturday adventures and we all have a blast. Nothing beats a dog/human combo!
July 18, 2016
I know you have a blast on weekends Emma, we wait patiently every Monday to read all about it!
July 18, 2016
Great post! Have to admit I was feeling a little blue this weekend… the cure? Planned an adventure with the doodles for Sunday. They really do make things better!!
PS Jaxson really is a big guy!! Love the pics of your brother with him. Made me smile
July 19, 2016
So happy you had your Doods with you this weekend – they really can turn your life around. Take care my friend! PS: I fixed the auto spell too! 🙂
July 18, 2016
Oh, I try and make my Ma’s weekend better! Sometimes I succeed, sometimes, not so much! BOL! I do thinks that Jaxson is adorables! And I can see he and your brother are BFFFFFF’s!
Ma was thinkin’ of tryin’ that fresh wave stuffs! It’s more pricey than most, so she didn’t want to waste her green papers on something that smelled like me after I rolled in somethings, if you knows what I mean….
I thinks she’ll give it a try!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
July 19, 2016
Hi Ruby! you are correct! Jaxson and Harley are the best of Doods! Tell your mom to wait on buying any Fresh Wave products. We will offer a discount and give-away when we write our post later this month. 🙂
July 19, 2016
Nothing like doggie love to make your load lighter! Prayers for your big brother and for his medical issues to heal themselves very soon!!
July 19, 2016
Thanks so much! I agree – a dogs touch is nothing short of miraculous!
July 19, 2016
Cathy that was a terrific post. Your brother has the kindest face and the last picture of he and Jax looking at the camera is priceless. I want to know both of the, and by the way, doodlemom too. LeeAnna

Hey girl – how are you? Yes, my brother has always been one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. I feel quite confident that our “physical” paths will cross soon and very soon. How’s Cole?

Heartwarming to hear of your weekend visit. Hugs to Harold.
July 21, 2016
Hey there! Thanks so very much. Hope all is well with you and the family. Harley misses his Trixie 🙂
July 21, 2016
I am so glad you got to spend time with your brother. Dogs make EVERYTHING great.
July 21, 2016
Yes, they certainly do Rebekah! We had a wonderful time together!
July 25, 2016
We love FreshWave too! It’s always nice when we humans get a little something, though Luke is also shocked when a package arrives that is not for him!
We hope the visit with your boys helps your brother on his road to recovery; lifting his spirits like that has to be a positive thing. ♥
July 26, 2016
He had the absolute best time – Jaxson was relentless giving him love and kisses. Kept his spirits up most of the weekend for sure!
