Naughty Goldendoodle Sneaks Into the Bath for Playtime & It's Too Cute
Naughty Goldendoodle Sneaks Into the Bath for Playtime & It's Too Cute originally appeared on PetHelpful. No one said raising a puppy was easy! And a new video online is proof of that fact. Kate probably expected a little mischief when she got a Goldendoodle puppy. But alas, her new dog is definitely a 'menace to society' and now she has people cracking up online. There are things about puppyhood that they don't warn you about. And this was one of them! All Kate wanted to do was clean up after her kids took a bath, but boy did she get a surprise instead. You could tell the dog was up to no good even before the woman turned into the bathroom. 'This dog is an absolute menace to society,' the woman said in the footage. Poor Kate hadn't drained her kids' bathtub yet and the Goldendoodle took advantage of it. She'd made her own personal splash pad in the bathroom! Which was fun for her but was probably not exactly thrilling for Kate.'What are you doing?' the woman asked from behind the camera. 'Oh, just playing around in the tub. Do you want to join?' we can imagine the pup saying. 'Are you living your best life?' the woman teased. Yep, you could certainly say that for sure. 'Oh Stormi Jean, you're such a goober,' she kidded. The comments section absolutely loved Kate's little troublemaker Goldendoodle. What a little sneak! 'Once she realized she wasn't in trouble she went for it!' joked one person. 'I love that you're letting it enjoy the moment,' someone else praised. 'God forbid a girl wants to practice her spelling whilst getting clean,' joked a third person. 'Where did you get a self washing dog? They got that on Amazon?' kidded another commenter. Do Dogs Like Baths? You may have noticed that some dogs love their tub time (or maybe they just like making a mess!), but some dogs really don't like taking baths. Even dogs that like other bodies of water might not love baths. It really depends on the dog and the breed. Some dogs might even get totally spooked from the bath! So be gentle with your dog and take your time. Looking for more PetHelpful updates? Follow us on YouTube for more entertaining videos.

Video: Corgi Makes Toddlers Laugh Hard During Playtime
Bath time might be fun for kids, but it's double the fun for dogs. A Corgi named Benji unleashed chaos on his baby siblings as they went in for a bath. An Instagram video on the account @benjithecorgidog captured the canine running into the bathroom and leaping over the toddlers sitting in the bathtub. He ran around the house only to run towards the kids, who laughed along to their pet's antics. The joy and the chaos made for a viral moment, with netizens adoring the beautiful family. Corgi playing with toddlers turns into laughter fest in adorable video A Corgi named Benji gave his baby siblings some company during bath time. Only this time, he decided to bring out his chaotic and fun persona to the table. The viral Instagram video captured the dog enjoying the moment to his fullest while also giving the kids something to laugh about. In the clip's caption, the owner claimed that his actions were a way to tease the toddlers. In the post, they wrote, 'It's so cute how much they love each other…' The bond between Benji and the kids was evident in the Instagram video. It began with the Corgi jumping up the steps that led to the bathroom, where his siblings were preparing to freshen up for the day. As he ran towards them and leapt over the bathtub, his baby sister screamed in response, which was followed by non-stop laughter from the kids. The dog soon realized this was a fun activity and decided to repeat it. Benji left the bathroom and took a right turn towards a room, only to return with more force. The siblings, who were still laughing from his first attack, weren't prepared for his comeback. The Corgi leaped once again, extracting more laughter from the toddlers. By this time, the dog understood that his siblings loved his antics. For the final run, he ran far into another room and disappeared for a bit. Just when the kids' laughter subsided, Benji sped into the bathroom at the speed of light and continued his chaotic interaction with his brother and sister. The siblings couldn't get enough of their pet's love and kept asking for more. Meanwhile, fans took to the comments section to shower praises for Benji and his bond with his siblings. A few noted that this is a moment worth remembering forever. The post Video: Corgi Makes Toddlers Laugh Hard During Playtime appeared first on DogTime. Solve the daily Crossword
