Pet owners know that weekend plans with friends often take a backseat when they have a dog at home. Many owners would rather spend quality time with their pets on weekends than go out. This is precisely what a dog dad did with his Golden Retriever girl named Pearl. A recent Instagram video on the account @pearl.the.golden.girl captured the owner enjoying popcorn with his dog. As the owner tossed the snack to her, Pearl enjoyed catching and eating it, marking a viral moment at the same time.
Owner’s ‘very important’ weekend plan involves Golden Retriever and a bowl of popcorn
Golden Retriever Pearl and her dad took to Instagram to share their “very important” weekend plan in a video. The clip featured the owner indicating that he canceled his other plans to spend time with his dog. It captured the dog dad feeding his pet some popcorn while relishing every bit of the experience.
The owner slipped into comfortable clothes, including a black jacket, blue shorts, and a cap, creating the perfect weekend vibe. To add to the coziness of the weekend, he had Pearl rest on his lap with a bowl of popcorn on the other side. The two shared a corner of the couch, with a pillow and blanket to keep them company. Once they sorted their seating arrangement, they indulged in their popcorn session.
The dad began feeding Pearl popcorn one by one, but not in the usual way. Instead of placing the morsel directly in her mouth, he made the experience more fun for the Golden Retriever. The owner tossed the popcorn from a distance that allowed the dog to promptly catch and enjoy it. At one point, Pearl seemed to question her dad’s throwing skills with a side eye, but soon returned to her goofy self, savoring both the snack and the moment.
Meanwhile, fans and fellow pet parents applauded the owner’s weekend plans. One commented, “This over socializing. I see nothing wrong with this as I would happily blow plans off to feed my baby snacky snacks on the couch while watching cartoons.” Many also adored the bond between Pearl and her dad.
