GG Reader Dogs Vol. 2 by Jess Keys | The Golden Girl Blog

If you missed last week’s first inaugural GG READER DOGS (!!!!) series–welcome to the best blog post idea I’ve ever had.

(Essentially, two weeks ago on instagram stories, I asked people to submit their dog’s photos with a funny caption–I got 100+ submissions, and here we are with a brand new blog series! ?)

Seeing pictures of your pups brings so much sunshine to my day, and I know these good boys and girls will bring a smile to YOUR face, too! (Also, my cat people–don’t dismay–we will be taking cat submissions once we get through all of the dogs!)

ENJOY this week’s puppies! ?

Remy from ZAMBIA!

My name is Remington (Remy)! My human adopted me while she was a Peace Corps Volunteer serving in Zambia. I’m a purebred Zambian village dog, and my hobbies include chasing the neighborhood chickens and eating peanut butter. I’m moving from Zambia to Chicago in May and can’t wait to see what critters I can find to chase in America (and keep eating peanut butter).

Molly from Chicago

Molly’s a local Chicago gal from Wright-Way Rescue. She’s a mutt, but basically looks like Bambi with floppy ears! Like the rest of us, Molly absolutely hates Chicago winters + lives for the summers, where she can often be found swimming at the dog beach or frequenting the patios of local breweries + restaurants. Molly can be found on Intagram @snoopmollydog!

Watson and Holmes from Chicago

This is Watson (muddy) and Holmes (attitude). Both are from Chicago. Watty doesn’t always know when exploring is a bad idea and Holmes doesn’t have the time of day for his brother, or us honestly ???‍♀️

George from Chicago

This is our dog, George. George Forman (yes, that’s my husband’s last name).

He is 9 months old and favorite activities include: finding and eating the tags on EVERYTHING (especially tea bags and blankets), weighing himself at the vet, counter surfing, and rocking the biggest cone of shame (he was hit by a car a few weeks ago). We live on Wells in Old Town and people are always so excited to see him.

Piper

Here’s our little Piper! She’s a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel (Ruby), and just turned four months already! ?She’s SO smart; we’ve been able to teach her to shake, high five, spin, and stay (so far). She loves bicycles, and the beach, and she can’t say no to a cute squeaky toy or treat. She has her own Instagram that’s a work in progress.. @piperandtiff with her kitty sister, Tiff who is a white Persian.

Norman from San Diego

Norman’s owner did not submit a caption, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need one ?

Nixon, Chicago

Loves belly rubs and long walks on the lake path.

Penny from Des Moines

Hi, I’m Penny from Des Moines, Iowa!

It was just my birthday, so now I’m 2 (I got cake). My pawrents are sooo obsessed with me. It’s a little much. I love popcorn, snow, ice cubes, squeaky toys, and barking like crazy at the neighbor dog!!! I’m also a pretty cute napper, if I do say so myself. You can see my adventures on my puppy Instagram, @pennylovethecorgi.

A note from Penny’s mom:

I am the reader that related wholeheartedly to Kelly crying over whether or not Noodle was fulfilled in life. ? Ugh, my Penny is just the best!

Chloe from Atlanta

Hi! My name is Chloe “Peanut” (shameless plug @chloe_the_peanut_pup) and I’m 1 1/2 years old. I got my nickname because I’m very small for a pure bread golden, and everyone thinks I’m still a puppy, aka peanut sized! You could say next to Jess, I’m the ultimate Golden Girl 🙂 [Jess’ note: I just LOLed ?Chloe you are the #1 golden girl!] I moved from Chicago to Atlanta almost a year ago!

Fun fact: I’m a Bravolebrity – there is a 5 second clip of me walking at the park on the Bravo show Buying It Blind…I’m still savoring my 15 mins (more like seconds) of fame!

Gracie from Barrington, IL

Name: Gracie
Age: 9
Home: Barrington, IL
Best friend/Spirit Animal: Grumpy Cat (pictured here)
Hobbies: napping, fetching (one time max. per outing), being sassy, looking sad
Follow me on Instagram! @gracie_the_black_lab_

Murph from Chicago

Meet Murph! She is a Havanese with the sweetest and spunkiest personality. She loves avocados, cuddling, and the beach—so she’s pretty much the ultimate basic bitch. Life is so much better with this girl!

Pearl from Chicago

“Not right now. You’re in my sun.”

Stay tuned for GG Reader Dogs Vol 3 coming next week! Thank you to everyone who submitted their adorable puppies! New submissions are currently closed as we have a LOT to get through, but I’ll be sure to let you know when we’re opening them back up. ❤️
