My Dogs Went Sledding Down the Stairs! 🐶🛷😂
It was a quiet winter morning. Snow had just started to fall outside, and I was curled up on the couch with coffee in hand, enjoying the peace… until I heard a sudden thump-thump-thump-thump-WHEEEE!
I ran to the hallway and caught a blur of fur sliding down the stairs at full speed—followed by a second blur, yapping joyfully behind him.
It was my two Golden Retrievers, Max and Buddy. And they had just discovered their new favorite winter sport: indoor sledding.
Apparently, Max had dragged one of the couch cushions to the top of the stairs. Buddy jumped on, Max gave him a nudge, and down he went—sliding like a little golden rocket all the way to the bottom. The second Buddy landed, he barked in pure excitement and ran back up the stairs for another round. This time, Max wanted a turn too.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. They were taking turns pushing each other down the stairs, using the cushion like a sled. If dogs could giggle, they would’ve been in hysterics.
I stood there, stunned—and then I laughed so hard I had to sit down.
Now, before you worry, don’t. I made sure the stairs were carpeted, the cushion was thick, and neither pup was hurt. But I was amazed by their creativity. Who knew dogs could invent their own extreme sport?
Eventually, I had to step in and end the stair-sledding shenanigans (mostly because they were starting to eye the laundry basket for a new ride). But for a few hilarious minutes, my house was an indoor doggie ski resort.
Lesson learned: never underestimate the teamwork—and wild ideas—of two bored Golden Retrievers.
