Another wonderful afternoon at Ronald McDonald House! We love being able to bring puppies to visit with the families staying there. The smiles, laughter, and exclamations of “This is amazing!” were such sweet reminders that sometimes the simplest things — like cuddling a puppy — can make everything feel just a little bit lighter.
Thank you to RMH for inviting us, and to the families and staff who stopped by and shared in all the puppy-powered happiness.
A huge shout-out to Marcy Dirkx-Baker for sharing her incredible golden retriever puppies, and to Stephanie Schmidt Photography for capturing it all so beautifully with her photography!

Meet Kylie — an amazing 15-year-old artist and athlete. She loves ceramics and swimming (backstroke and butterfly are her favorites!) and she’s also a big fan of puppies.

We recently had the honor of surrounding her with some of the cutest golden retriever puppies ever, and her gentleness was the perfect match for their playful energy.

The puppies brought happy chaos, and Kylie joined right in. The smiles, laughter, and puppy kisses offered a break from the hard stuff. It felt like good medicine.

A big thank you to Stephanie Schmidt Photography for her beautiful photos and Marcy Dirkx-Baker for her ridiculously adorable puppies. It takes a village.

Bring together an adorable, wise-beyond-her-years-two-year old, some of the kindest firefighters around and some ridiculously cute golden retriever puppies and you just might have the recipe for magic.

Magic that allowed the joy to find exactly the people who needed it the most. A powerful reminder that it is not just kids who could use some playtime and a few cuddles.

A huge shout out to Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue for hosting this POP and to the many Pile of Puppy volunteers who helped make this happen! And to JJ Hospice Therapy Dog for sharing her puppies - the secret ingredient!
