About Me
Last week our beloved Doodles crossed the Rainbow Bridge after his fight with melanoma. Doodles was such a good boy and we are so thankful he was a part of our lives. He quickly became part of our family. The day we got him, he cried at the window while Adam was filling up the car at the gas station, later that day he showed us he was a lap dog by plopping himself down in Ashley’s lap. He loved everyone (people and pets alike) and was such a warm, gentle soul. He gave us so many great memories in the limited time that we had him and he will always be a part of our family.
Doodles enjoyed a good belly rub and wasn’t shy about letting you know when he needed more attention. He was an adept countertop surfer and a remarkable escape artist (the drywall in our kitchen can attest to that). He’d always howl for his food and when we got home from being out of the house, no matter how long or short we were out for. When Adam came home from long days on the road, Doodles would be right at the gate waiting for him to come and say hello.
While we knew this was coming, he was able to live comfortably the past month and gave us some time to really spoil him as well as we could with the extra time we got. Things went downhill quickly, but he passed on with us awake and by his side knowing how much we loved him and what a good boy he truly was.
Doodles was our first foster and even though the end was difficult, he was the best unofficial “foster fail” we could have asked for. We wish we could have had more time with him, but we know he’s on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge running around, ears and lips flapping, getting all the love (and belly rubs) he deserves.
– Thanks for reaching out, Ashley and Adam
