Hurley's Journey

 

Hi all my doodle friends! I have been busy..busy being a dog! I am doing really good and not having any issues on top of my head! I have been digging holes ( getting sand on top of my head), I have played with my dog friends, not slept with my cone on for close to 3 weeks now and so much more!! I have been on quite a long journey. It started last November with the cysts appearing. I sure hope this journey has come to an end and now it's time for a new one. One of Paying It Forward...my mom has been talking about Paying IT Forward a lot these days so I am jumping on the band wagon too and ready to help! Spread the word of The Doodle Messenger and help dogs. My friends who are in need of medical care. I want to help save them too.

We have been busy planning a Meet and Greet!! It was about a month of planning and we just had it on August 25th!! You all know how much I love The Skinny DIP in Greenbrier! The Doggie DIPS got me through a lot of tough days. Days I didn't want to wag my tail or want to play because of my stiches. Then I would hear the word "Skinny DIP" and I would come to life! Ready for my car ride to get some yogart! The owners, Mr. Richard and Mrs. Autumn Clarke, watched me heal and prayed for me. They wanted to help out too..! When I got better they let us have the fundraiser at their Skinny DIP in Greenbrier...they gave out free Doggie DIPS to the dogs who came to meet me!! Mr. Richard and Ms. Autumn also donated 10% of their total sales from 11 am-1pm to The Doodle Messenger!! They wanted to help the doodles in need right now too!!

 

 
I got to meet some of the angels out there who helped to save my life! I wish I could of met all of you. I know so many of you live so far away, but I still want to give you LICKS and a doodle hug for giving me a chance to live a long and healthy life...I lubs my family so much. My mom keeps telling me that I have a huge family though...I belong to a lot of people. So many of you prayed for me, gave my mom advice, cried with her, smiled with her, rooted for us, sent us positive energy and donated money for the two surgeries I needed so I could be here on earth a lot longer. I was only 8 months old when I had my first cyst rupture. I was a young pup and was not ready to be put to sleep, be given away, or returned to the breeder. My mom started fighting and gave me a voice and you all heard her loud and clear!! I know in my heart this world is filled with love and kindness. Actually, all of us dogs know this. We know that you humans are capable of being kind to one another, loving one another and helping one another. That's why you all love us dogs so much, cause we show you how kind, loving and beautiful you really are. It has shown with the journey I have been on, I want it to shine on many other doggies and families out there too.

 

This is my momma. She will never give up on me. I will never give up on her. I know a lot of you all have the same bond. You let my mom keep her best friend. My family loves me so much. You have forever changed my mom. This whole journey has a silver lining. My mom says even my brother and sister have changed too. They see that this world is a good world. They see what us dogs see all the time...this world is beautiful and the humans in this world are amazing.!

This is my family...on the left is Mr. Richard Clarke, Mrs. Autumn Clarke, their little girl Lila. They are the owners of the Skinny DIP in Greenbrier...then my mom, dad, brother (Joshua) and sister (Natalie). We had a great day!! Of course, in the picture is ME..Hurley Doodle..! After about 10 Doggie DIPS..I puked...sorry Mr. Richard...! I couldn't help myself....do you think they have a group for dogs out there who can't stop eating Doggie DIPS?...Hi, my name is Hurley Doodle and I am addicted to Doggie DIPS....

 

My mom made a poster so everyone could see what a long journey I have been on....oh doodles..has it been a long road..but you all got us through it!!

I lubs you all...I lubs The Doodle Messenger too..they are the ones who put my story out there and people, like you, donated to save me..!! I still have friends on there right now who need help...Please go to The Doodle Messenger and read their stories. They need medical care too...let's help them!! If you wish to donate to one of them, their veterinarians information will be on their page. You can mail a check straight to their vet or call the vet with a credit card by phone. Thank You!!

I want to keep helping and Paying It Forward. My mom and I are thinking of ideas of things we can do or make to raise money for The Doodle Messenger. Money we raise will be to help the sick doodles in need. If anyone has any ideas please go to my FB page at
