Allow me to share a short and pawdorable story about the duck and the Doodle. A story about a strange relationship that literally came out of nowhere.
A few weeks ago the duck arrived in a bag as a gift for the Doodle. While he can be a terror to all things soft and cuddly – the duck must have special powers because he is still in one piece. Since his appearance they’ve been spending countless hours together.
Lord knows what they see in one another…
Fast and furious “besties” would be the pawfect way to describe their furrendship…
The duck seems to be rather “clingy” yet the Doodle shows no signs of frustration…
When the duck whispers to the Doodle, the Doodle listens intently…
One time the Doodle rolled over in his sleep. I thought the duck was a goner…
But “thank the doodle” he was able to wiggle free, flip himself over and the two“napped” together most of the afternoon…
#Strange.…
THE END
Please stop by on Friday to see an incredible 3D pet print of Harley-Darley!

Hello Harley! That’s lovely you have a new (duck) bestie, let’s hope he’s around for a long time!
January 21, 2015
Teresa, I don’t hold out much hope for the duck. I’ve witnessed it too many times unfortunately 🙁 We’ll see…
January 21, 2015
Too cute, have a great day
January 21, 2015
Thanks – you take care of Glory (and yourself) – we’re praying for you 🙂
January 21, 2015
That is a very needy duck, but I’ve seen stranger friendships.
January 21, 2015
You and me both Sharon! Let’s see how long the duck survives living with Harley 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

It’s so funny that you posted this b/c I was going to reply to your post about the frog destruction to tell you that (for some unknown reason) Wrigley used to destroy all his “lovies” in just a few days that same way… Until we started buying him this style with the long arms and legs! He prefers monkeys the most, but also has a lion, a cheetah, and a bear. Now he loves and loves on them (which involves lots of nuzzling, licking, cuddling, and occasional “rough housing”) until they literally become threadbare. I hope the ducky lasts a long time for Mr. Harley too!

Amanda,that is funny. I had no idea he would tote that duck around like that. And I was super shocked that he would allow me to place it on him in so many different positions and just lay there while I did it. I too am curious to see just how long the duck survives. I’ll keep you posted for sure.
January 21, 2015
Wonders never cease. Lol, now I have hope for a type of soft toy that may last longer than 10 minutes with Ziggy,” the King of destruction.” I’m definitely going to pick up a long armed cutie toy today 🙂 I’ll keep you posted.
January 21, 2015
Good luck Claudette – yes, keep me posted.

I think the duck took advantage of a sleeping Doodle! Love Dolly
January 21, 2015
That’s a great analogy Dolly.
January 21, 2015
Love your duck, Harley! You make a cute pair, but be careful he doesn’t take over!
January 21, 2015
Good advice Emma, that duck does have the ability to steal hearts you know. So soft and cuddly.

Best buddies….I love it!! What a great series of photos! I wonder what magic powers that duck has over Harley? 🙂
January 21, 2015
I don’t know JanK, I thought about smelling it to see if it had a hint of chicken in it! BOL

It might be a strange friendship, but sometimes strange is just what you need 🙂 Gorgeous photos!

That was such a perfect story. I think it would make a great children’s book with one of your pics of the two special pals on each page.
