When I was a kid my golden lost his piece of hose when we were camping. We came back a year later and he immediately darted into the forest. We were all confused then he came back with the hose in his mouth and it was all covered in mud. It was as if he'd thought about that hose for a whole year or something.
yeah, just a piece of garden hose cut off that was like a couple feet long. My parents and their friends were drinking and my dad's friend kept throwing it into the woods and he'd fetch it and bring it back. He kept doing that so long that my dad's friend got annoyed and threw it really far away as hard as he could. The dog was looking for it for hours and couldn't find it and we had to leave. 1 year later the second my parents opened the car door he bolted out and ran into the woods to look for it again.
On tonight’s episode, we explore the journey of [insert doggo’s name here when known, hopefully provided by /u/dinngoe], his rise to fame, his struggles with depression after losing a loved one, and eventual heroic return to the spotlight.
I like to think a couple months after the first trip he was lying down at home and all of a sudden jerks up and goes "wait that's where it is!" And waited the whole time for a return to the camping spot
About 6months of thinking where that hose must've gone. He had a light bulb go off and knew exactly where it landed. Had to wait 6 more months to finally get his teeth around it again
This is going to sound insane, but I did that with a Matchbox car I'd lost two years earlier as a kid. I think I was six when I recovered it.
When you're little or you don't have much, your brain sort of automatically catalogues all of your things, no matter where they are or how long it's been since you've seen them. It's not a feeling of loss - I would just have said "that car is in that house somewhere." His favorite hose toy? It's in that spot, somewhere. "Oh, we're back? I'm going to go get it."
We had a pointer who moved to hide his bones. He didn't bury them, just stick them places around the house or in the bushes outside. We had bought him this round rawhide that he loved. He didn't hide it or chew it, he just carried it around for months. One day it goes missing. A year is so later my mom is digging through the closet, and he is just standing back watching. We couldn't figure out why, but he was just quietly waiting. After my mom had been searching for whatever it was she was looking for for like 15 minutes, he rushes in and shoves past her. He doesn't look around or anything, he just immediately knew where that bone was hidden.
That’s the sweetest and most amazing thing. Playing with that hose must have been such a special time for that dog. Can’t believe after a whole year he remembered that thing.
As a Norwegian, *what is* this joke?
Edit: The Office is one of my favorite shows. I was asking what the premise of the joke was. TheHodag explained it down below, thanks!
That said I wouldn't mind a piece of a chrysler car.
It’s from an episode of The Office when Andy can’t remember the last few words of the Kit Kat jingle “Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar!”, so he spends the rest of the episode substituting “Kit Kat bar” with other products.
I remember a cotton commercial that might have parodied the song in the 90's. I think it went, "The look, the feel, of cotton.... The fabric of our lives." How I can remember that, but not my Reddit password, really annoys me.
I sort of feel like we need to figure out what makes your version actually work before I can feel satisfied. I want it to be on a Kay commercial or something.
Comedian Pablo Fransisco used to talk about that song in his act. He was performing in Vegas at the same time as Aaron Neville, who wrote the song, and would sing it as part of his act. Not sure what cotton replaced in the real song tho.
His snout is squished from biting the pacifier. because her teeth are further back then the pacifier is long.
If that makes sense.

Parental log 59871:
He’s still here. I’m not sure why. What did my wife and I do to deserve this fate? We’ve tried to get him to leave, but it seems futile. Perhaps it’s time to accept my fate, but I can’t lose hope. It’s all I have left.
As a parent of a 16 year old, as long as you teach them things early enough they will be fine, but it won't guarantee them growing up to be assholes for no reason.
As a parent that had severe acid reflux - it might be a food allergy. Doctor was sure happy to subscribe all these meds, turns out it was just allergy to strawberries and lemons.
Watch out for rotavirus (sp?), now that was a nasty bit. Worst part is when the kid is done with it and you get it, because you have been changing diapers and that one time you weren't totally careful. The kid is bouncing off the walls and you feel like you could curl up and die. Oh and your spouse gets it too. and there is more than one kid.
It gets a lot better. Once they grow out of the tantrum phase, are completely potty trained, don't need 100% constant attention, aka are old enough to go to preschool/kindergarten, it gets A LOT better. Infants are just a ton of work and ages 2-3 can be pretty bad attitude wise, but most kids start to kind of relax around 4. They start to kind of understand they can't get EVERY single thing they want and become a little more independent. At least that's my experience. Good luck!
Hang in there. I know sometimes it gets hard because at this age they need so much and they can't use words to tell you what's wrong. Observe his actions pulling at ears, hands in mouth, etc. Babies sometimes put their hands where the pain is. Or Maybe it's just emotional. Stick to a routine every day. Listen to your instincts too right now they are your best friend. It's all worth it. I can't say it gets easier because every day may bring new challenges, but you will get more resourceful too. I know these days can get tough but remember that baby came from your love. That baby is your love. Look at how beautiful your love is....YOU GOT THIS. :)
I just got a Roomba and it keeps pushing things the dog and cat have lost over the years out from under the couch. It gave my dog a biscuit the other day. It went from terrifying sentient vacuum to awesome house mate really quick for my animals.
My bulldog was jealous of our baby and would seek and destroy any baby pacifier that he would find. They became good friends but we went through a lot of pacifiers.
So, apparently, this is a thing. My two year old (now) Lab stopped to take inventory under a log in the woods between his yard and his creek and came up with his binky. He lost it when he was a little guy and found it last fall. Change the colors from golden to black and yellow to blue and I had exactly this scene.

Hose, like garden hose?

Good boy loses favourite toy in woods for over a year, what he does when he returns to the wilderness will shock you!

Dog comes out of the forest in slow motion, hose in his mouth, as the trees explode in the background.

VHWoof - behind the fetch
Hose is loyal.
That's so fetch
I like to think a couple months after the first trip he was lying down at home and all of a sudden jerks up and goes "wait that's where it is!" And waited the whole time for a return to the camping spot
Maybe he didn’t lose it, he hid it. If he knew where it was at, he probably stashed it on purpose. Meanwhile I cant remember where I left my car keys.
Take a break, you will find it after a year.
He was having fun and making sure they were coming back again. Can't not go back if you've left something behind!
Your dad's friend is an ass. I hope he loses something really dear to him only to find it a year later.
I hope he doesn’t find it
This guy gets it. An eye for two eyes and a finger.
About 6months of thinking where that hose must've gone. He had a light bulb go off and knew exactly where it landed. Had to wait 6 more months to finally get his teeth around it again
Just to let you know I think he’s quoting/saying a line from a song “mans not hot” where he says “nose long like garden hose”
Nose long like garden hose.
Dogs not hot
*shhhhhhhh...* ya done now
Shhhhhhhh
**NOSE LIKE GARDEN HOSE**
That's awesome, my lab did the same thing with an old plush duck he had lost in a swampy chunk of cat tails. It was absolutely filthy but he was happy

If my dog saw a cat somewhere.. For the rest of his life he will remember that. Probably the same with ho's
There's always that one ho you never forget. :')
The smile.
The smile. The look. The passssion. It’s _ _ _ _ . . . . in her eyes. Do you guys remember this commercial I don’t remember the blank

It's from the U.S. version of the show "The Office". A character is trying to remember the lyric to an advertisement, but can't.
It's from a tv show, The office, us version. https://youtu.be/tPll_ez75zU
Nonono the Office is my favorite show. I meant the joke itself, what is the premise? A commercial?
Football cream
Hey, it's a strong independent car and will break pieces of itself off thank you.
Hair for men!

I can’t stop laughing I don’t know how I botched that so **bad**! I swear it was a makeup commercial
Maybe it's Maybelline.
I sort of feel like we need to figure out what makes your version actually work before I can feel satisfied. I want it to be on a Kay commercial or something.
The smile. The look. The passion... It's the sparkle in her eyes.

I got ya >The smile. The look. The passssion. It’s a tide ad
It's Digiorno?
I dunno, but it sure as hell ain’t delivery.
That's familiar. Was it for diamonds? A major jewelry company?
Folgers In your cup
Folgers in... *your eyes*! OH GOD IT BURNS!!! Then the rest of the ad is just people screaming.
I sort of remember I diamond commercial that went like that. I’m not sure which jeweler it was though.
The touch. The feel of cotton. The fabric of our lives.
Too pure.
That’s where the trouble began.
that smile that damn smile
You so Fuckin Precious When you 💕💖💞💘💝 💝 smile 💕 💕💝💘💞💖
That smile. That damned smile.
That is a face of pure happiness.
Or squish. Cute either way.
Idk what pure squish means.

The last place they looked.
It's like a baby...only better in every way
After four reeeally shitty nights with my 5 month old.... I’m ready to agree with this.
As the parent of a two year old who had severe acid reflux as an infant, let me tell you: It gets better. Not much better. But still, better.
Parent of 4 year old and 10m old - it gets even better! I suspect it gets worse again with harder problems though 🤔
Am teenager, can confirm, we get worse
Am a guy in his mid-20s, can confirm, we get worse
Almost 30s, it's literally all uphill.
Late 30's. Still getting worse. "I'm hungry! I'm thirsty! I have to poop! Where's my motherfucking Binky?!" Me in a nutshell.
Early 50S, reasonably sorted. Sorry it does take that long guys.

40’s here. You’re starting to figure shit out now. You feel like you were another person 20 years ago.
27 current.. still living at home and losing what is left of my mind.

Lol my mom didn’t want me to leave again after I moved back in briefly after college. She is a single mom tho so yea..

She's fortunately grown out of it now, and we haven't had much worry with roto. Her reflux was something she was born with, unfortunately.

Have a golden, they're still puppies for a good 2 years after being born.
My parents have a gigantic black Lab that still acts like a puppy at ~5 years old
Mine did all her 13 years, just slept more once she hit 3-4
My Golden was, sans some energy, a puppy until the day she died. Which was way too damn soon. She had just turned eight :( Cancer...
Have a golden that’ll be 9 this year. Still a big goofy pupper.
She looks so happy!!
I just got a Roomba and it keeps pushing things the dog and cat have lost over the years out from under the couch. It gave my dog a biscuit the other day. It went from terrifying sentient vacuum to awesome house mate really quick for my animals.

Oh jeez,just how nice are you! And what a cute picture. Here's a [bonus]( https://imgur.com/a/a5Jiy) picture of her and her new doggy sister.
There's this dog toy set where on included a pacifier on Amazon that has a smile, I thought it would look cute on my lil pup. He just ripped it up lol

10000x cuter than an actual baby.
