He's all doxie. All moxie.
He may be small, but let's not forget, his first name was Mighty. That was before we adopted each other at the animal shelter. He's been Doodle ever since.
Doodling here, and there - even behind a ski boat. Here, he scores a killer surf ride on the Colorado River, our first year together.

Here, our Surf Dog Diaries rover reporter takes me on the ride of life. I love my best friend dog!
