Golden Retriever Who's Totally Fed Up With Her Puppies Has Moms Feeling Seen
Golden Retriever Who's Totally Fed Up With Her Puppies Has Moms Feeling Seen originally appeared on Parade Pets.
All moms have had "those days" where you feel pulled in a million different directions. One child needs a note for school, another wants you to watch them do a cartwheel, and one just skinned their knee. I'm sure mothers all over the world have longed for a clone every now and then to help them out and maybe get a break.
Same goes for canine moms. Dog mamas have massive demands on them from a full litter of pups that are all the same age and at the same level of neediness. Imagine having to feed six kids at once! That's what Parker the Golden Retriever is dealing with in this relatable TikTok from @parkersgoldenlife.
Parker was lying on her side as six adorable puppies (there could have been more - it's hard to tell!) crawled all over her for food and attention. The mama dog was completely calm with her kids yet looked like she was in dire need of some alone time.
"When you're having a bad day, just remember this girl's is always worse," the onscreen text joked. "Just watch her practicing her breathing exercises."
Her pups continued hoisting themselves on their mom, oblivious to Parker's inner wish for space. The video concluded with the gorgeous Golden lifting her face in the air as if trying to get in one good, cleansing breath to relax.
Thankfully, it seems that Parker does take some time for herself. In a previous TikTok, the pooch parent was slowly drinking from the outside water bowl, clearly not in a rush, while her pups were all scurrying around the door.
"Just a reminder to put your own oxygen mask on first," the onscreen text read, sharing a classic tip that moms have to take care of themselves in order to take care of their kids.
Parents usually have endless to-do lists, which makes it easy to overlook self-care. We're on duty 24/7 in those very early days of infancy, yet as children — and puppies – get older, gradually encouraging their independence is beneficial for their growth and a parent's well-being.
Parker looks like she's a wonderful mom!

Caitlin Clark Reacts to Difficulty of U.S. Open on Sunday
Caitlin Clark Reacts to Difficulty of U.S. Open on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The past few days of the 125th U.S. Open have been bittersweet for those who love the sport of golf. For average fans who have tuned in and watched the best of the best attempt to take on Oakmont Country Club, they have likely never related more to a professional golfer. For those competing in the tournament, the course with five-inch rough, fast greens and narrow fairways may have them feeling as if they have no idea what they are doing. Advertisement Due to the nature of how difficult the course is, we have seen Masters winner Rory McIlroy throw multiple clubs and smash a tee marker, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler have a meltdown at the driving range and Bryson DeChambeau so frazzled he forgot the rules twice on one hole. The course also has WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, who is an avid golfer, questioning if it would even be an enjoyable time to play there. "Is Oakmont even fun to play? 😂😂 I'd shoot 130 easily 😂," wrote Clark.

Advertisement In an interview with from last November, Clark revealed she is a 16 handicap. 'My handicap is like 16,' Clark said. 'Stroke-a-hole, average golfer.' In a very relatable sentiment, Clark also shared that most of the time she is "praying" to break 100. Aside from being an avid golfer herself, she is also a true supporter of the sport, as she attended the Masters for the first time. She and the rest of the golf world are anxiously awaiting the results of this tournament, with the winner being awarded $4.3 million.

Carrie-Anne Moss: How Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves Are Alike
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 11: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carrie-Anne Moss attend Netflix's ... More "FUBAR" Season 2 Los Angeles Premiere at Netflix Tudum Theater on June 11, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) After starring opposite Keanu Reeves on The Matrix movies, Carrie-Anne Moss said she was thrilled for the opportunity to work with another action icon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, on the second season of his hit Netflix series, FUBAR. Schwarzenegger, of course, has not only starred in the Terminator series of films but other action movie classics including Predator, Total Recall, True Lies and two Expendables chapters. On top of that, Schwarzenegger was a world champion bodybuilder before his acting career, which he paused to become the governor of California from 2003 to 2011. While Schwarzenegger has experienced success in several different avenues throughout his life, Moss said in a recent Zoom conversation for FUBAR Season 2 that her legendary co-star was as genuine as they come. 'What I've found through all the years that I've been working [is that] the more successful people are, often the more genuine connection I have with them,' Moss said. 'You would assume that very famous people are hard to connect with or kind of living in a different dimension in a way, but that's just not been the case for me the most famous men that I've worked with.' As for how Schwarzenegger and Reeves stack up against each other, Moss said, 'Keanu and Arnold, they're by far the most fun, the kindest, the most genuine and the easiest to be around — none of that stuff that we kind of are conditioned to think." LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 11: (L-R) Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Guy Burnet, Arnold ... More Schwarzenegger and Milan Carter attend Netflix's Los Angeles premiere of "Fubar" Season 2 at Netflix Tudum Theater on June 11, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor Netfix) New on Netflix, FUBAR Season 2 finds CIA Agent Luke Brenner (Arnold Schwarzenegger) stuck in a safe house with his fellow CIA agent and daughter, Emma (Monica Barbaro), as well as his ex-wife, Tally (Fabiana Udenio), her soon-to-be ex-husband, Donnie (Andy Buckley), and Emma's ex-boyfriend, Carter (Jay Baruchel). Also living in the safe house are Luke and Emma's fellow CIA team members Roo (Fortune Feimster), Barry (Milan Carter) and Aldon (Travis Van Winkle), but they'll all need to leave the safe environment behind to thwart an EMP attack that will take out the entire U.S. power grid and plunge the world into chaos. In order to stop the attack, Luke and his team will need to outwit Great Nelso (Carrie-Anne Moss), a former East German spy who had a dangerous romance with Luke during the Cold War; as well as her associate Theodore Chips (Guy Burnet) Like Moss, Feimster, Carter and Van Winkle all loved working with Schwarzenegger, who they said promotes a team atmosphere on set even though he has top billing in the series. 'Arnold always says he's not a self-made man and you know, that's really the people that have been around him that have helped him become who he is, and I think our set is no different,' Van Winkle said in a recent Zoom conversation, alongside Feimster and Carter. Van Winkle said the reason FUBAR is just as much the co-stars show as it is Schwarzenegger's stems from the great writing of series creator and showrunner Nick Santora, who is also the creator of the hit Prime Video series Reacher, starring Alan Ritchson. 'I feel like the writing from Nick Santora [is the reason] we all get to do a lot on this show,' Van Winkle added. 'We all get to do action and we get to do some ridiculous comedy [and] the heartfelt stuff, so I feel like we all get pretty well-rounded season arcs.' Carter also credits Santora and Schwarzenegger for creating an ego-free set. 'Nick Santora is a great man. He has this secret policy: It's called the 'No a-----e policy,'' Carter said. "By him instilling that on set, it just allowed us to really just come together and be a family and nobody has an ego and Arnold doesn't have one either. 'He shows up happy to work every day, no matter how many hours a day we're working,' Carter added. "So, it's like, 'How can we not have fun if someone who's so accomplished is still excited to act every day?'' Feimster, who gets plenty of opportunities to share her comedic gifts on the series, said the FUBAR set is full of laughter whether the camera is rolling or not, thanks to Schwarzenegger and her fellow castmates. 'I've been so lucky in my career to be on some great shows, and this one topped it,' Feimster enthused. 'The people on set, in the cast in the crew, were so amazing and fun, and we just like spending time together and like a lot of belly laughs. The best part of being on FUBAR, Feimster added, was that 'it never felt like work.' 'There were long days and it would be tiring, but we would be so happy to be there and be with each other,' Feimster noted. 'Anytime you have a job like that, It really is a treat, especially with the state of our industry right now. We know how lucky we are to be working and to be with great people is the cherry on top.' Seasons 1 and 2 of FUBAR are streaming on Netflix.
