It's England! It's England!

I'm finally here!!! It's London!! I love it!!! Nathalee picked me up and I was just delighted to meet her. She was sweet, funny and she talks almost as fast as I do!! Her son Deanell is the superstar! He is cool, witty, and he happens to be better looking than I am (very rare!)

Look at them both!! Can you see the delight on my face?? Huh!! Their accents are just music to my ears!! I've acquired a bit of an accent too!! Oh you should just hear me, I sound brilliant!!


Look at that!!! Nathalee hinted she would put me in one of those!! Ugh! Can you imagine how claustrophobic that would be?? Oh the horror!! I'm getting nightmares just thinking about it!! Better yet, can you see the fright on my face and the glee on hers? She's a riot that Nathalee!! Good thing I love her and I'm so forgiving! Flights are way better and roomier! Just saying....


Somehow I feel safer in the hands of Deanell!! Plus we just look cool together!! Look at those shades!!  We are going to a friends birthday party!! You know I love everything about that..kids, food, games, music and cake! What's not to love??!


Oh I'm having such a great time!! The kids think I'm a bit odd maybe because my dancing skills are far more advanced than theirs!.. And maybe because I had too much cake! Does my stomach look a tad protrudy? Bilbert was the party animal, I was glad to come to the party as I was hopeful I would find him here. He could always smell a party a mile away. I shook every gift and looked under all the furniture and on the dance floor, but Bilbert was nowhere! 

Oh! Oh! Time for me to sing..

I played this little organ and sang my heart out! They were all amazed at my voice!! One of the parents, a music producer offered to record one of my songs!! Can you believe that!? Woot!! I would love that, but I'm on a mission to find my brother and honestly travelling around the world is so much fun!!!  I should have done this ages ago!!

Oh I'm glad we're home! Don't you just love their house?? Oh I can tell I will love my stay here!! I just know it!! Nathalee and Deanell are planning an awesome trip to show me around London so stay tuned!! I'm pooped..

The final days in Greece!

Wilbert spend his final days in Greece visiting different sites and enjoying the sunshine. He certainly knows how to have a good time with everyone. It helps that he is super friendly!!

This certainly looked like a place Billy would love!  You know why??? ..he loved horses!! Can you see the beautiful one in the back ground?? Wilbert went horse riding and loved it. He tried to ask the horses if they had perhaps seen Billy... He was shocked to hear him neigh! What an odd sound a horse makes! It startled him a little! Can you tell it's the first time he meets horses too?? Wilbert is certainly learning a lot on his adventures. 


"Oh will you look at that!!! The beach!!, I ran around and made little footprints in the wet sand! I build a sand castle with Sebastian and Georgos!!! I swam 2 feet into the water and got thrown back out by the waves!! I played catch with Porthos! I got buried in the sand!! It was such a lovely day!! I just wish my twin brother was here to play too!! I searched all over the beach but couldn't find Billy!! Where is he???"


Weeeee! Don't you just love it when the wind blows your ears around??  Well if you are the same species as Wilbert, you would too! Hair is overrated anyways!!!  And wind just messes hair up! Ears on the other hand are awesome!!


"Aaah! Time to wind down! All this fresh air and sunshine is very exhausting!!! This my friends, is not a complaint just a statement said in appreciation for all mother nature offers! Tiihiihii! But we all know sunshine and beaches are the best!!  Time to relax before I pack up my bags and head to England to visit Nathalee!!!!! Hopefully she's as nice as Ilse and her family! I will miss them all.  I wonder if Nathalee has a doggie too?? Well, I will find out soon enough!  Do you think Bilbert is in England?"

*To all my readers/followers, I'm still looking for all sorts of places to go visit and continue my quest to find my brother. If you would like to host me, get your people to email my people at doodledollies@gmail.com tiihihi! That makes me sound all important, doesn't it?*

Wilbert tours Greece

Wilbert had a few days bonding with the family and spending endless hours playing with Porthos. He had so much fun that for a brief moment he forgot his quest to look for Bilbert. At least he knows he has to have fun as he searches too!!

He looked in this lovely flowery bush but he wasn't in there. The leaves kind of tickled him and he had a good laugh. He couldn't believe how lush and green the bush looked and the flowers were such a lovely pink colour...and the smell was glorious! Oh the little joys of life!!

Oh the ground is so warm!! Where is the snow?? He is certainly not missing it! The sun on his face feels lovely!!!  You can tell with his one attentive ear he is listening out for any sounds of Bilbert! 

"Yoohoo Billy!! Can you hear me?? Woot..notice how the Greek flag in the background brings out the brown in my eyes??!... I love it here!! Hmm Billy's not here!!"  I have to mention that Wilbert is the only one that's allowed to call Bilbert Billy! It's a twin thing. He gets livid when anyone else calls him Billy! By the way...does anyone else notice just how easily Wilbert gets distracted?


"Billy? Billy? I guess he's not on the rooftop! But hey, look at this beautiful view!!!! The air is so fresh, the trees smell great and the sky looks beautiful!...oh what a beautiful mooorning.. oh what a beautiful day....ok enough singing! hey Porthos, wanna play hide and seek?..."

Wilbert is having such a great time in Greece! All the monsters are having a great time living vicariously through him!! We miss him though! But he has a job to do and an adventure to have. 

So long Wilbert! Till next time...

Wilbert meets the family

Wilbert has been enjoying his stay in Greece so much!! The weather has been just perfect and the family has been so loving!!!  He wanted to introduce us to the family.

First is the lovely Ilse!! She was so kind as to let Wilbert stay with her and her family as he searches for his brother in Greece. In Wilbert's email he said "She is incredibly kind, sweet and she smells great!" Can't you almost tell from the look on his face? 

This is Michalis! Ilse's wonderful husband. He promised to help Wilbert with his search for Bilbert. Wilbert described him as "fun, friendly...with a great sense of humour and a firm grip!"  We can tell just by looking at him...can't we?

Wilbert loved meeting Sebastian, Ilse's son!! He thought he was so cool!! He loved his haircut and he couldn't get enough video game time with him! He said Sebastian was "adventurous, fun, creative and very active." He taught him some awesome games, he even got to win some! Okay maybe one or two....Sebastian is just way too good at the games! Wilbert just needs more practice. 

Georgos is Sebastian's brother ....and Wilbert loved Georgos! Not only because he took him to the beach, but also helped him look for Bilbert while they were there. He said Georgos was "kind, adorable, playful, very active and so cool!" Wilbert found the beach very calming...but left and right, up and down, Bilbert was nowhere to be found. 


Porthos was a little terrifying to Wilbert at first. He sniffed him a lot and made weird sounds. Bare in mind, Wilbert had never met/seen a dog in his life!!!  It only took a few hours for him to fall in love with Porthos! He realized, they are about the same height and they can play together! They both spend a lot of time chasing his tail!! Wilbert even tried to ride Porthos but that was an epic fail! Wilbert described Porthos as "cute, cuddly, playful and very friendly!" The biggest advantage of having Porthos around was that he got blamed for everything! (Even when Wilbert did it teeheehee) Missing cookies, farts, open doors...just name it! He hopes that one day he can out-run porthos at the beach though. He just needs to keep exercising. You can do it Wilbert!!!

Now that we've met the family we will have to see what adventures he gets into with them. 

Write soon Wilbert! We miss you!!!

Wilbert's First day in Greece

Wilbert left Canada on a cold Winter day but with a warm heart! We were all sorry to see him leave, but we have to remember that he is on a mission to find his twin brother Bilbert.  I think he just  loves adventure...just like Bilbert! The wonderful news is that he got there safe and sound on Valentines day!! Ilse was nice enough to have him stay with her family! The highlight of his day was busking in the warm sun, nibbling on some chocolate.


Can you see the pure bliss on his face as he enjoys the fresh air blowing his ears?! Some of you may also observe the slight anticipation of taking the first bite of his chocolate...

Let's all give him a moment...

Stay tuned!!

Wilbert's last day

We are all glad that Wilbert is off to search for Bilbert. We were sad to see him go but hopeful that he will bring Bilbert home. On the morning of his departure the doodledollies all got up early to make him breakfast and plan a way to make his last day special. They baked him some apple spice cookies served with a glass of almond milk. That, by the way is his favourite breakfast...and so was his twin's Bilbert.


He was very pleasantly surprised and gobbled them up fast!

He took a pause in between to tell them how grateful he was and offer us all some!

 He even had a second glass of milk!! One monster was so tired from the early morning baking and fell asleep beside Wilbert. 

Once Wilbert was fed they took him outside to have one last snow ball fight. A good idea too since Wilbert will not see much of it in Greece. 


Say cheese!!! Look at that!! One's even whiter than the snow! Yeti!!!


Splat!!! Wilbert got it right in the face!!  Nothing a little fluffing and blow drying couldn't take care of later. It was still hilarious when it happened!

So much fun!! Short lived though ...as soon it was time for Wilbert to take his flight. He even got the first stamp on his passport!! Aaaaaawwww...



We hope he will have a lot more entries in his passport when he returns. Most of all we hope he brings Bilbert back!!  I will keep you posted on his goings on! Stay tuned!

Wilbert's last words "I will find my twin brother Bilbert if it kills me!!!" Hopefully he doesn't mean that literally...

Wilbert..enjoy your adventure!! We miss you already!!

Wilbert has gone to find Bilbert!!!!

Finally, after a long holiday season and a little travel, Wilbert has gone to find Bilbert.  Let's recap for those who missed out.  Bilbert went out on an adventure a while back.  He visited a few places before someone kidnapped him along the way.  All the doodledollies and I were very saddened and we took a long hiatus to moan.  But his twin brother decided he will go out and find him.  We all agreed!!... and on Feb 4th, he took his flight to Greece to start his search there!

For those who need to see where Bilbert's adventure began, and his awesome farewell party, please click here

This is the day he left and his friends had a farewell party for him.

Wilbert didn't get as great a send-off, but he did have a fun last day.  Pictures will come shortly...
