EVERYTHING’S GROOVY WITH GOLDENDOODLES

I can actually recall the first time I said “everything’s groovy with goldendoodles.” It might have been years ago but I remember it like it was yesterday.

I was pumping gas and talking to a total stranger when she commented on my happy and carefree spirit. And that’s when the words just “hopped” out of my mouth…

EVERYTHING'S GROOVY WITH GOLDENDOODLES

Even though my daughter uttered these two words together first, this was MY first time putting “groovy” together with “goldendoodle.” When I said it out loud, I loved it, and the rest as they say is #herstory

A FEW MONTHS AGO –

I received an email from Rachel Cook (Niche Content Editor) of our local newspaper the Post and Courier. She asked if they could write a feature story about the Boys and I for the summer issue of their quarterly pet magazine – Low Country Paws

EVERYTHING'S GROOVY WITH GOLDENDOODLES

The photoshoot through the famous Battery Park area was A-mazing to say the least. The photographer, Ed Brantley treated the Boys and I in true celebrity status fashion..

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING –

After winning the gopetfriendly.com Best City for Pet Travelers for our beloved Charleston, SC., my catch phrase is even more appropriate than ever! The March Madness style tournament has made the Boys a tad more popular around town making my life… well you know… #groovy

Groovy” is a slang colloquialism popular during the 1970’s #thebestdecadeever

Synonymous with words such as –

  • cool
  • excellent
  • amazing

All words I would use to describe my Dood’s.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY –

and I am elated to share a special gift with you on my special day.

Here is the article …

I went after mine, and now “everything’s groovy!
