Anyone who’s lived with more than one pup knows it’s not just double the love; it’s also double the chaos, mess, and occasional madness. Sure, there are moments of pure, heartwarming cuteness, but they’re often sandwiched between scenes that feel more like refereeing a furry wrestling match. One pet parent gave people an honest — and very funny — look at what life with two dogs is really like in a viral Instagram video.
Owner reveals having 2 dogs is like living with two teenagers in hilarious video
Instagram user @daisythegoldiee shared a video that hilariously contrasts expectations with reality when it comes to raising two dogs. The clip starts with the sweet illusion many people have before getting multiple pets: peaceful naps, sibling snuggles, and Golden Retriever bliss. Daisy and Maple, the two featured pups, are seen looking like the epitome of well-behaved dog siblings.
But then comes the twist. The onscreen text switches to “Reality,” and suddenly viewers are met with a much messier, louder truth. In the next set of clips, Daisy and Maple are shown bickering like siblings. They are flashing their teeth, rolling around, and generally creating chaos. Their home looks less like a dog lover’s dream and more like a scene from a sitcom.
The owner cheekily captioned the video, “Reality: It’s like living with two teenagers.” The playful comparison to adolescence felt spot-on, especially as the pups seem to swing between affectionate cuddles and dramatic spats within seconds.
Pet parents flooded the comments section, many comparing the dog duo to not just teenagers but toddlers, too. “Or living with two toddlers,” one user quipped. Another commented, “You’ve got to have some chaos amongst the tranquility.” Someone else noted, “So funny when goldens bare their teeth because they’re still so cute and soft.”
For anyone thinking about adding a second dog to the family, consider this video your honest preview. It might not all be peaceful naps, but at least there’ll never be a dull moment.
