The Emma and Corey Moriarty family has a full house, including two Golden Retrievers, foster puppies they’re caring for, two cats, and two Huskies. They share videos of their chaotic, fur-filled household, and a recent one of their “teenage” Golden Retriever puppy, Bauer, had us laughing out loud.
If you have kids, chances are you’ve started a story with “I turned my back for a minute…” and then proceed to describe a mess that they got themselves into. If this sounds familiar, just wait to see the trouble that Bauer got into when Emma left him outside with his big brother Maverick for just 2 minutes!
We laughed when Emma joked in the caption, “He should add landscaper to his resume…” Clearly, he’s a perfect fit for the job! One commenter even got 17k likes when they joked, “Oh, you didn’t need to clarify it wasn’t Maverick, we knew which one it was!”

Funny Reactions to Finding Bauer All Muddy
Commenters got a kick out of Bauer’s muddy happiness and had some funny things to say about it. Like @EW, who shared a screenshot of the muddy pup and said what he was probably thinking: “I REGRET NOTHING!” @jessi.whipkr added, “Nah girl, this is on you…”
@allofithq shared the same picture and added, “He’s so proud of his work, LOL!”
Another commenter shared a screenshot of muddy Bauer with Maverick behind him and pointed out, “Here is how a Golden Retriever should look like versus the reality, LOL!” Emma replied, “Before and after!”
@holycross822 pointed out, “The CLOUD of darkness that floated up in the water. LOL!” Emma responded, “I realized I made a HUGE mistake, haha!”
“I bet your neighbors just hear ‘Bauer’ all the time and wonder what he’s up to now,” joked @IronJoppers-Sarah, and we have a feeling she’s spot-on with that guess!
