I’m a Canine Uber Operator! That’s what I told the lady at the Gladys Knight concert last weekend when she asked –
so what are you doing now?
I could have said –
I drive Doodles around town.
But on a whim I decided to “jazz” my title up a bit, make it sound a little more intriguing.
WHAT’S MY JOB LIKE? –
It’s not bad. He needs me, and I don’t mind helping out. His paws can’t reach the gas or brake pedals, therefore he’s always appreciative when I agree to transport him.
First stop – Starbucks #needyouask
He prefers to place his own order (one time I didn’t get it right) #pickydoodle
A guy named Aaron was working the window. Since Harley hadn’t seen him before he insisted on a lick before allowing me to drive off #doodletastetest…
After his whipped cream fix we were off to the hospital for a little pet therapy, but first he had a staff meeting with the Volunteer Services Director Kelly. He wanted to discuss the selection of pup treats in the break room…
Next it was upstairs for him to visit some lil humans…
My job description does not include accompanying him away from the vehicle – but I have to tag along because he can’t reach the elevator buttons.
Harley doesn’t comply with core working hours. He stays as long as he’s needed, turning not so good days into lasting happy moments…
And patients aren’t the only recipients to “feel the Doodle love”, he makes sure he spends time with those human angels called “surgeons”…
They may LOOK like clowns to you, but to Harley, Dr’s Ladybug and Lovebug are Executives in the field of laughs and smiles…
Our ride home is usually a quiet one, not sure if he’s reflecting on his day, or critiquing my driving…
So that’s what I’m doing now, and while the pay is nonexistent the dividends are priceless!
A FEW MORE THINGS –
- GOLDEN hugs & DOODLE kisses to our new subscribers from the Doodle Family FB group. So happy you’re here!
- If you haven’t seen the 2017 Doodle Family Calendar – please check it out HERE
- There are only two days left (voting ends on the 18th) to help the Boys clinch the title of “local animal celebrity” in the Paws Picks Awards for Charleston. You can vote HERE.
It’s the middle of the week – have you made someone smile yet?

So funny because that’s what mom calls herself

I think all pet moms need to get a t-shirt..
November 16, 2016
Mom says she is our chauffeur because she is always driving us to classes and appts.
November 16, 2016
Your mom is right!

This is absolutely adorable. My role with my dogs is all encompassing, but hasn’t involved Uber for a while. We’re having record rainfall right now so no wet paws in my car.
I love that you do therapy work with Harley. I thought Scout would be a good candidate until someone tried to pet him and he backed up and barked aka gave the man a piece of his mind.
LOL
November 16, 2016
Not my Scout! I can’t believe that! But when you get your Goldendoodle – you can start taking him to pet therapy! #startingarumor

Great post!!! Made me smile. Dash loves to go in the car. I think he’d love to learn to drive!!
November 16, 2016
Make sure you take Dash through the drive-thru too!
November 16, 2016
Way to spread the joy, Harley! Keep up the good work. Like you, us therapy dogs do all the work…the moms just drive.
Your fur-iend,
Sam
November 16, 2016
LOL – but I still think we play an important role Monika – at least until they start driving themselves!
November 16, 2016
That sounds like a wonderful job, for both of you. I love the whipped cream fix Harley! I understand you completely on that one.
November 16, 2016
Heather I wish I could video him with the kids (but I can’t) he’s so gentle with every move, and he’s patient with all of them. I am so filled with joy watching him “do his thing!”
November 16, 2016
What a fantastic post! Thanks for making us smile!!
November 16, 2016
Thank you. You’re welcome my friend. Have a great week!
November 16, 2016
ohhhhh you’re the entourage. The groovy groupie. I see.
#hanger-on
lol! Good work Harley, and you’re looking mah velous
November 16, 2016
I love that one LeeAnna, “Groovy Groupie” I don’t mind, I love watching the children smile…
November 16, 2016
THose are some wonderful photos! Though now Amarula is insisting we go through the drive through at Starbucks so that she can personally order a latte with a shot of tuna oil!
November 16, 2016
Harley’s okay with just a cup of whipped cream! Try the drive-thru, we’ve never been to one that the folks working the windows don’t like dogs. They’ve all enjoyed taking Harley’s order!
November 16, 2016
Harvey is pretty lucky to have his own driver! What he does at the hospital is just amazing. I’m sure that there are some people whose lives will be forever touched by him.
November 16, 2016
So much fun for me to watch all the lil people smile and laugh when they see him Robin. He’s got a gift and I love taking him.
November 16, 2016
I am pretty sure he is critiquing your driving. LOL. This post was hysterical. He’s lucky to have such a dedicated assistant.
November 16, 2016
I agree with you Pip – I think he was seriously watching the road and checking my speed. Glad we made you chuckle today! Feel free to share us with your friends. Everyone needs to smile 🙂
November 17, 2016
What a Doodle-rific job! I think he is reflecting on his trip. They know when they are making people happy, especially when the humans are sick. ♥
November 17, 2016
What a joyful, sweet post <3 Love this so much! And sounds as though your pup is spreading the love everywhere.
Also he may be critiquing your driving, hard to tell :p LOL, that's usually the face Buster makes when I'm behind the wheel too. Punk! Thanks for the whipped cream reminder from Starbucks. Heading there shortly!
November 17, 2016
What a cute post! Love all the photos. He must bring such huge smiles to everyone at the hospital! Good work, both of you!!
