All kids go through a sassy period, even fur kids. When this golden retriever puppy got sassy with his human mom, she had the camera rolling. The “argument” happened after Lemon played in some mud and had a bath. His mom was making him stay on the porch. He was back-talking because he wanted to play in the still-muddy yard again. Sorry, Lemon. We’re on Mom’s side.

Lemon’s mom explains why he can’t play in the mud again. She tells him he is clean, but he wants no part of it. While his mom supplies the “thought bubbles,” adding words to the golden retriever’s sassy puppy routine, you can almost see the words in his facial expressions.
As the sassy little puppy whines and yelps, he seems to say, “But mud is my life…” The human mom is adept at understanding puppy language, as each of the thoughts posted above the puppy is spot on. Reminding us of petulant teenage melodrama, he tells his mom, “You suck,” and “I hate you.” With a final yelpy whine, the words, “I love Dad more,” pop up. Lemon’s mom stands firm, and the sassy puppy tries one more ploy, “telling” Mom he will pee on the rug. As the video ends, the golden retriever pup sits resolutely, with mom standing her ground.
Every parent should be able to relate to this sequence. Even though the puppy speaks in whines, yelps, and mini barks, we can “understand” every word. We’ve seen what a mess one muddy golden retriever can make, so we’re still siding with Mom on this one. Whether you have human or animal kids, you have had a similar conversation with them. Please share if you agree.
