The Paw-sitive Power of Coal and Chip: Life with Our Golden-doodle Brothers!


Welcome to our little corner of the internet! Today, I’m excited to introduce you to my two Golden doodle puppies, Coal and Chip. Born on July 23, these brothers are not just adorable companions; they’re a source of endless joy and inspiration. Join me as I share why having dogs like Coal and Chip can transform our lives and why you should check out our adventures on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok!


Why Dogs Make Life Better


1. Unconditional Love and Companionship

   Dogs have a unique ability to love without conditions. Whether you’ve had a rough day or just need someone to cuddle with, your furry friend is always there, ready to provide comfort. Coal and Chip are my little therapists, always ready with tail wags and puppy kisses. Their love reminds us that we are never truly alone.


2. Joyful Laughter and Playfulness

   Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, but a dog’s playful nature can lighten any mood. Watching Coal and Chip race around the yard, chase their tails, or wrestle with each other never fails to bring a smile to my face. Their antics are a reminder that joy can be found in the simplest moments—like a game of tug-of-war or a failed attempt at catching a frisbee!


3. Encouragement for an Active Lifestyle

   Dogs thrive on activity, and having them in your life encourages you to stay active too. Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park or an adventure hike, Coal and Chip inspire me to explore the outdoors. Plus, the joy they bring makes every outing more exciting! I have lost 5 pounds since adding these two to our family.


Fun Activities to Enjoy with Your Dogs


There’s no shortage of fun ways to bond with your furry friends. Here are a few activities that Coal and Chip love and that you can enjoy with your own dogs:


- Obstacle Course Adventures: Set up a mini agility course in your backyard or living room. Use cones, hoops, and tunnels to challenge your pups and teach them new tricks. Coal and Chip are learning.  It is more difficult with two as they feed off each one another. If one is not in the mood, forget it, the other isn't doing either. They can be very stubborn. My goal is to teach them to ride a skateboard.  Since Coal is a bit lazy he may prefer this to walking. We will wait and see.


- Interactive Treat Hunts: Hide treats around your home or yard and let your dogs use their noses to find them. It’s a fun way to engage their senses and keep them mentally stimulated. If it's a treat, Coal and Chip will find it.


- Puppy Playdates: Socializing is essential for dogs. Arrange playdates with other friendly pups! Watching them play together is a joy and helps build their confidence. Coal and Chip met the neighbor dog yesterday.  They were reserved at first however after a few minutes they relaxed.


- Doggie DIY Projects: Get creative and make homemade toys or treats! Simple DIY projects, like a tug toy made from old t-shirts or dog-friendly peanut butter biscuits, can be rewarding for both you and your pups. I made a tug shirt from one of my old t-shirts.  They love it and they actually sleep with it.


- Dog-friendly Outings: Take Coal and Chip on adventures to dog parks, pet-friendly cafes, or even on family hikes. Document these moments for your social media!  This is a great ideas to help with socialization. However, I do not bring my puppies to dog parks because I worry about dogs I don’t know and possible diseases they may carry.  Over protective mom here!
