I have decided that since everyone needs help with getting through Monday, I will start texting an uplifting story to my family Monday mornings. This last Monday was the first one and featured Doodlebug the Kangaroo. Doodlebug was found abandoned at 3.5 months old. Apparently when he saw his rescuers he put his arms out for a hug or to be picked up but that might be anthropomorphizing him. What is a fact is he was given a teddy bear and they are the best buddies ever. Doodlebug carries him around everywhere Doodlebug plays with him and they curl up together for naps.
