Golden Retriever Life

Making memories that will last a lifetime 😊

Ellie's favorite was the pelicans and Emma's was the fake lion 😂

Ever since Ellie was a puppy, she’s loved the camera 📸 so a few years ago we started taking selfies and working on “smile” 😀 Here are our top 7 global selfies 🌍

Never miss an opportunity to spread smiles 😊

My dogs take a German selfie!

Croatia hugs 🇭🇷 I think I need to frame this one!

Getting a second dog was the best decision 🥺

Spring hugs 🌸 I might have to frame this one!

#ad Ellie and Emma keep us busy, but at least I’m not sweating through the to-do list. #SponsoredByShark The Shark Pro Mist keeps me cool through it all with a powerful breeze and no-hose outdoor misting that I can take anywhere. @Shark Home #SharkProMist #goldenretrieverlife #vacation #dog #Summer #smile

Foolproof Final Four predictions 🏀

When our baby was born, Katie told me she wanted to do 29029 Trail, an ultra event where you run/walk three marathons over three days in the mountains. This event may sound crazy, especially as a new mom, but our motto has always been to do hard things, and Katie can accomplish anything. This past weekend was her 3-day simulation: – Day 1: 10-mile run – Day 2: 8-hour mountain ruck (weighted backpack) – Day 3: 7-hour mountain run I couldn’t be more proud of her, and I wanted our son to see his mom crushing it, so we decided to surprise her midway on Day 3. #ultramarathon #goldenretrieverlife #dog #petfriendly #europe #italy #smile #surprise

Reuniting with your dogs after a trip is the best!

I’m not crying 🥺

Happy 250th Birthday to the U.S. Army 🇺🇸 As a former Army Chinook pilot, this milestone means a lot. During a deployment overseas, our unit had a dog named Zac whose job was to simply bring joy. Watching the way he lifted spirits during tough moments left a lasting impact and ultimately inspired our Mission to Spread Smiles. When I returned home, we got Ellie and trained her as a therapy dog. Not long after, Emma joined in too. Since then, they’ve brought comfort, connection, and joy to service members and military families around the world. To celebrate the 250th birthday, here are some of our favorite Army smiles. We’re proud to be part of this community and forever grateful to those who serve. @USArmy #Army250 #goldenretrieverlife #dog #army #smiles
