They say that you can’t be what you can’t see so let’s get out & be visible Have a great weekend & if you see some #litter you know what to do 28,000 dog owners removing 41 million pieces of litter on walks to protect animals,communities & the environment. Join us! #dogsofx

“I had babysitting duty tonight. But I forgot how much to charge!” -Sophie #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetriever #grc #dogcelebration #BabysitterDog

#ThrowbackThursday to the day in 2017 when Ernie and oldest granddaughter had an impromptu hugging session. I’d say it looks like Ernie “won,” but I think everybody wins with hugs! 😁 #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetriever #grc #dogcelebration #hug #BFFs

I met Rudy, a calm, 3-year-old golden retriever who acts like an 8-year-old, outside Still North Books & Bar not long ago for today's random dog encounter. A sweetheart. #DogLovers We love dogs. 🐕🐶😍 CelebrationOfDogs For the Love of Dogs❤️🐶❤️🌹 Jan McLaughlin

“I was back to work #TherapyDog this week. I made 50(!) new friends. This is just a few of them. They all wanted to take me home!” ❤️❤️❤️ -Sophie #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetriever #grc #dogcelebration #newfriends

Outlaw always knew when I was catching up to him and mom. (Photo: walking through our neighborhood this week in 2019, a lovely autumn memory.) #DogLovers #Autumn CelebrationOfDogs We love dogs. 🐕🐶😍 For the Love of Dogs❤️🐶❤️🌹 Jan McLaughlin

Cousin Jack came for a visit tonight. In between bouts of bitey-face with Augie, Jack sat in my chair and did his best impression of the model in the movie poster on the wall. I think he nailed it! #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetriever #grc #dogcelebration #WeekendSmiles Cathryn Michon

Happy Saturday! Wherever you roam, leave it cleaner & safer than you found it. It only takes a minute to save an animal from the harm of #litter. It just couldn’t be simpler! Who can you tag below to join us? #binitforbracken #dogsofx

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! The first photo ever of Arthur. He's about 3 weeks here. Now nearly 11 months, and needing 4 walks a day 😆. Hope he will calm down after you know what... @CelebrationOfDogs

Outlaw thought mid-October was definitely late enough for fireplace season to begin. Photo from this week in 2020. I reminded him it also was curl up to a fluffy dog season. #Autumn #DogLovers CelebrationOfDogs We love dogs. 🐕🐶😍 For the Love of Dogs❤️🐶❤️🌹 Jan McLaughlin

Late night shenanigans with Jack & Augie and the yard bunny! #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetrievers #grc #dogcelebration #WeekendFun #WeekendSmiles

Happy #TongueOutTuesday ! We weren’t gonna, but then Dad let us lick the steak platter! YUM! -Sophie, Pete & Augie #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetrievers #grc #dogcelebration #LeftOvers

“Sophie, we’ve got another new recruit for upcoming holiday duty.” “I know, Pete. He’s another strong, silent type. I told him he’d be meeting all the others soon. He didn’t say anything, but he smiled. I think he’s going to be another good one.” #BrooksHaven

On this date in 2015–10 years ago—our #TherapyDog Ike 🌈 stopped speaking to me for a week! #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetriever #grc #dogcelebration #Halloween #ThrowbackThursday

“No kidding! I met 2,000 new friends today at our church’s Trunk or Treat event! It was really fun, but I’m tired!” -Sophie P.S. I was dressed as a Chewy box! #BrooksHaven #GoldenRetriever #grc #dogcelebration #Halloween2025

“Here’s more pictures of me and some of my new friends! One little human was dressed as me!”

The number of great people in my life that I would never have met or connected with if it wasn’t for the dog world is amazing. #DogCelebration

If we REALLY love animals we don’t drop #litter & we pick up some when we can. It only takes a minute when we’re out on walks anyway. Isn’t it worth it to protect them? Join us! 28,000 and counting…. #dogcharity #walkingthedog #binitforbracken #dogsofx
