Golden Retriever puppy Bauer has three older brothers to look up to, including two Huskies, Blue and Titan, and an older Golden, Maverick. Bauer just celebrated his first birthday and is described as a “bundle of chaos,” and he lives up to that moniker as you’ll see in this video.

Like most Goldens, Bauer loves the pool, but his pawrents, Emma and Corey (AKA The Moriarty Family), haven’t let him in the pool for the last month or so. So the pooch came up with the perfect solution indoors: he turned his water bowl into a pool of his own! Get ready to watch Bauer make the cutest, most chaotic mess ever!

He had so much fun! In the caption, Emma shared what the puppy was probably thinking and it was spot on: “Don’t worry mom I’ll entertain myself!”

We have no problem admitting that Bauer’s pawrents are much more patient than we are. He had a lot of fun making that meess, but wow! What a big mess to clean up throughout the entire kitchen!

Funny Reactions to Bauer’s Adorable Chaos

Viewers left hundreds of comments about the puppy’s mess, and some of them cracked us up. Like @jessi.whipker, who wondered, “I question if Bauer is ever going to outgrow the crazy phase…” Emma replied, “I doubt it.” @Rockin Rita added, “I hope not, for the sake of entertainment (for you and us).” Another commenter pointed out, “Now you have an indoor pool. LOL!”

@A Mom McGaw didn’t say anything, but shared a screenshot of Corey’s face as he watched Bauer drag the water dish through the kitchen. @k m w replied, “He’s just so … resigned. LOL!” @tootsie agreed, “Regretting the decision to get a 4th dog…”

Commenter @Shaliz joked, “New emotional support bowl unlocked!” @sunsetacres302 shared, “I can just picture the rest of the pack rolling their eyes thinking, ‘This is why we can’t have nice things’ LOL!”

We’ve watched a lot of The Moriarty Family’s videos, and while we love listening to Corey argue with the huskies, Bauer seems to be the new fan favorite!
