EXPERIENCE THE RETREAT

"Alright, people — places, places! I want more emotion! More passion! This scene needs to smell like bacon and FEEL like a belly rub, oui oui!"

TUCKER: "Wait... where are my eyes??" 👀🐶

"If they can't see me... they can't make me take a bath... stay cool... stay invisible..."

FLAN: "Ken...In the grand scheme of the universe... all we really need is me, you, and a cup of coffee, my friend."☕

"Mornin’, see? Hope ya got the joe brewin’, ‘cause I ain’t chasin’ no cats on an empty tank, capisce?"

A dog’s version of “good morning” is like a whole mood. Here’s what that might look like:

🐾 Tail wag on max speed – like it’s powered by joy alone.
🐶 Face nuzzle or gentle paw tap – “Hey. Wake up. I love you.”
😋 Yawns with dramatic stretch – front paws out, butt up, like yoga but cuter.
🧸 Bringing you a toy – “Good morning. Play with me now.”
🗣️ Happy grumbles or little woofs – not barking, just... dog chatter.
🐕 Zoomies outta nowhere – “The sun is up. LIFE IS HAPPENING.”

And if they’re really affectionate? Maybe they crawl onto your chest like, “You’re not starting the day without me.”

What kind of “good morning” vibe does your dog bring? Chill and cuddly, or chaos and joy?

🎓🐶 WELCOME SPEECH – The Official Council of Goodest Bois & Gals 🐶🎓

Chairdog Golden Retriever:
“Good woofs, esteemed pupper. On behalf of the Doghood of Sniffers United, we welcome you—with open paws and wagging tails.”

“As a new member, you’ll be expected to participate in the following:
– Butt sniffing greetings
– Pack-approved howling hours
– Occasional synchronized barking at invisible threats.”

Doodle Secretary:
“Please state your name, your favorite treat, and your stance on squirrels. For documentation purposes.”
“All breeds are welcome. Unless you're a cat in disguise. We will find out.”

Malimois Diplomat:
“We hope you find Three Dog Ranch to be a safe space for zoomies, group sniffs, and judgment-free belly rolls.”
“We run on three core values: Bark with honesty. Wag with pride. Chase with reckless joy.”

Sir Mix-a-lot of Ceremonies:
“Welcome to the pack. Your presence improves the overall fluffiness of this organization.”
“Just vibe, bro. And don’t eat the poop.”🤣

🎤 TED Talk: “Sniff First, Ask Questions Later – The Power of Socialization” by Bark Ruffalo 🐾

lights dim, spotlight hits a charismatic golden retriever in a bowtie

"Ladies, gentlepups, and hoomans who think 'sit' is a personality—thank you for being here today."

"Let’s talk about socialization. It’s not just sniffing butts. Okay, it is sniffing butts—but it’s also SO much more."

"When I was a puppy, I didn’t know how to handle loud noises, stairs, or mailmen. But my humans took me everywhere. Parks, pet stores, brunch patios—yes, I’m that dog. And now? I don’t bark at vacuum cleaners. I lead them."

"Some pups miss out on this. They grow up scared of shadows and suspicious of squirrels. But with good socialization? We become confident. Brave. The kind of dog who can chill at a dog park and not pick a fight over a tennis ball."

"So I say to all you humans: expose us to the world—gently, with treats. Let us meet kids, cats, bikers, and weird statues. Socialized dogs are happy dogs. And happy dogs don’t eat your shoes."

"Thank you. And remember: sniff boldly, wag freely, and always sit for snacks."

mic drop. tail wag. thunderous pawplause.😀

BUBBA: "Excuse me, my eyes are up here."
"This is premium-grade pupper rump. Step back."🤣

YAY! 🎉🐻 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEAR THE DOG! 🐾

Here’s a special birthday poem just for the goodest Bear:

🎂 Happy Birthday, Bear! 🎂

Wake up, world—it’s time to cheer,
The best dog ever’s born this year!
Big ol’ paws and a heart so sweet,
A wagging tail, four happy feet.

Bear’s the name, and joy’s the game,
Chasing dreams and squirrels the same.
Treats today? Yes, pile them high!
And belly rubs? Don’t even try to deny.

From zoomies fast to naps so deep,
You guard our hearts and steal our sleep.
You’re loyal, bold, a furry star—
We love you just the way you are. 💛

So sniff the breeze and chase your tail,
Today, dear Bear, you cannot fail.
Because it’s YOUR day—howl with pride,
We’re lucky to have you by our side!

Awwww, happy birthday to Ember the Dog! 🐾🎉 Here's a little celebratory poem just for her:

🎂 Happy Birthday, Ember! 🎂
The sun came up, the tail did wag,
Today’s the day we raise the flag!
For treats and toys and birthday cheer,
Because sweet Ember’s day is here!

With floppy ears and eyes so bright,
You fill our hearts with pure delight.
A friend, a goof, a cuddle queen,
The best pup that we’ve ever seen.

So here’s to you, with cake and play,
We celebrate your special day!
Run wild, dig holes, and bark with glee—
You're the goodest girl there’ll ever be! 🐶❤️

SUTTON: "Excuse me. That’s my rock. I found it. I licked it. I protected it from the wind. You don’t just touch a dog’s rock. This is not a stick situation. This is serious. Back away slowly and no one gets the side-eye."
