Happy birthday to the sweetest bubba 💛

Six years old, time flies!

He’s had another wonderful year learning the world is just a little less scary than he thought the year before. This past year he was able to wean off one of his medications and became much more active during the day. He’s spent more time outside in the yard with me. He cuddled with my mom for the first time ever. He finally took treats from the vet. He learned a few new tricks. He’s continued living his absolute best spoiled life!

Every time he uses the dog door by himself when I’m not home or comes outside during the day to run around the yard playing with me and Timber, I’m reminded of the early days. The days when he wouldn’t even go near the front door, when he needed to be carried outside and would run as fast as he could back to the door when he was done. He’s come so very far 🥺

He’s changed so much in the last 6 years but he’s also the same goofy, sweet boy he’s always been! He still hops around when excited, he’s always booping my hand as I walk around to check for treats, he still has no concept of personal space, and he continues to believe it’s his world and we’re all just living in it. Who’s going to tell him he’s wrong? Nobody.

So happy birthday to the best boy in the world. Here’s to many many more 🥳

Merry Christmas from the cutest hooligans ❤️🎄

Turns out trying to take a group photo with two dogs by yourself is very hard and nobody ever looks in the same direction. The third photo is pretty much how the whole attempt went 😂 Timber wanted cuddles, Koda wanted nothing to do with us, and I just wanted to be done - but I wouldn’t trade these boys for the world.

We hope everybody has the best Christmas if you celebrate and a wonderful holiday season ❤️

Happy gotcha day Timber! Two years ago I flew out to Wyoming to pick him up, after a year of waiting for him to be born, and it’s one of the best choices I’ve ever made 💛

is an absolute rock star! It was so hard to pick a favorite from his session. On average we get usually 30+ photos to choose from. I promise you, your dog will surprise you!

Tiny Timber for this Thursday because he turns 2 in a week and I’m not ready 🥺

It feels impossible that he was ever this small, he just grew up so quickly. We’ve already had so many adventures and accomplished so many things in these two years. I both feel like Timber has been with us forever and also like he just got here so how did time fly by so fast 😭

Do you miss the puppy days or are you glad they’re long gone? It’s hectic but I wish both Timber and Koda stayed puppies just a little longer ❤️

We had our yearly veterinary behaviorist appointment last week and I am so proud of how far Koda has come ❤️ the sweetest bubba

Where are all our dock diving pups at 👀 Timber can’t wait for dock season to start here!

We're super excited to announce the first season of the Atlas Outfitters Pro-Team, a group of dock diving competitors sponsored by Atlas Outfitters!

You all have asked, and asked, and asked us if we offer sponsorships… and now we're excited for our first season! We will be offering sponsorship to 5 dogs and their owners.

Perks of sponsorship include: gear, swag, cash for entry fees and even a Nationals get together. All we ask in return? Your undying loyalty, and love, and the rights to your first born. (haha jk, your loyalty will do)

***What we're looking for in our team members***

1. You should be a customer
2. Active on Social Media
3. Planning on competing in dock diving events this year
4. Willing to post, share, and support Atlas Outfitters online
5. An enthusiastic Dock Diving competitor

***What we aren't looking for***

1. The best at everything. Your pup doesn’t need to be an Elite Division Jumper or best of breed to be on the team.
2. Highly experienced competitors. Even if you are pretty new to dock diving, if we can tell you love it and plan on continuing you are perfect for the team.
3. A social media guru. We are just looking for folks who can connect to those around them and also to us, we use Facebook and instagram quite a bit for communication.

Although we absolutely love our neighbors to the north, our sponsorship team is only for US participants this year.

If you think you and your pup want to be the next best thing coming from Atlas Outfitters then use this link to our super fun application: chat.atlasoutfittersk9.com/apply

Submissions are due by April 7th so don't delay!

Please share, share, share! We want everyone to have the opportunity to apply for the team. (It might even get you bonus points 😉)

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
