Mini Doodle Bentley

This could apply for two dogs, two humans, or in our case - a dog and a human! 

Sibling things I wish I knew 

Have you ever wondered who your dog has imprinted on in your family? Check in this video which of these six things are true for your dog with you!

Signs your dog has imprinted on you

Here is everything we learned and implemented when we introduced Bentley to both of our babies!

Tips: Introducing your dog to your baby

We wanted to find a special way to include our dog before our daughter arrived, and I think we did just that :) 

Dog chooses our baby's name

We always knew that our son loved our dog, but we never realized just how much he was truly learning from him! 

Signs your child was raised by a dog

We're closing in on Bentley's last few days before we add a baby sister to the family dynamic, so we're doing something fun to spoil him before then! 

Dog chooses his plans for the day! 

A baby is a huge life change for everyone in your life, including your pets! We get asked all the time how we prepared Bentley for our first son and now that we're expecting our second any day now, we wanted to write this all down to help others! 

Tips for preparing your dog for your baby!

Making these holiday treats for our dog is an annual must in our home! They are so easy and Bentley LOVES them! See another idea of how to use them at the end of the video :) 

Gingerbread Dog Treat Recipe!

After so much work raking all of the leaves into piles, we had to find a way to have some fun with them as well! 

Pulling a leaf prank on our dog

We all love our loyal companions and want to make sure they're included in everything we do; here we show you some of our favorite ways to include Bentley in our fall festivities!

Dog friendly fall activities

We had so much fun last year coming up with matching costumes for our son and our dog, can't wait to show you what we've got in store this year as well! 

Matching Halloween costume ideas!

It's crazy that dogs can naturally sense when you're pregnant; it must be because they want their best friend to come out and play!

A dog waiting for his best friend

Bentley waited almost 1.5 years to get to this point - but now he has a dedicated ball thrower who he loves to play with every day! 

The journey to becoming a dog's best friend

Because everyone needs this much positivity to start off their day! 

My favorite morning routine

Honestly, I think we deserve a Michelin star.

A five course meal for our dog's fifth birthday!

For Bentley's fifth birthday, we got him 100 tennis balls to play with but he only wanted that one special one. 

Birthday present for our dog!

This house meant so much to us, we wanted to do something special to remember three incredible years of memories here.

A tribute to our house before we move

Our dog has been getting so excited as our baby learns to throw a tennis ball. Usually it is only a few centimeters or inches but as of today they are READY to play!

The best day of our dog and baby's lives!

Bentley LOVES his stuffed frens, but they have to abide by one very particular rule. He does this exact thing every time we bring one upstairs. Rules are rules!

Our dog has very specific rules for his stuffed animals

My husband always has one wish after he finishes a 24 hour shift, but I let him make that two wishes so our dog got one too!
