Please don’t put your feet up on the dashboard while driving…heaven forbid there was a car accident and the air bags go off, it can take your legs off. From a daughter of a Fire Fighter! Love you guys and loved this episode. ❤❤❤

💯 agree, this is a dangerous habit.

[@suer6888]

I'm always telling my granddaughter that too!

[@rhondarichmond9259]

I live 10 min away from the museum

[@kellypalmer7052]

I tell my kids and there friends it’s not worth the risk and if something happens, it’ll change your life forever. It helps being a daughter of a Firefighter because, they listen! I also tell my kids if i ever catch wind of you putting your legs on the dashboard, you won’t be driving. I agree with a person who commented, no filming while driving unless you have a dashboard cam and you never touch it while driving. All it takes is 1 second of taking your eyes off the road and it’s done. I’ve seen way to many pictures of the end results car accidents and decades later i can still see them ingrained in my head. Traumatized for life for the better. Okay, lecture over. Thanks to all those that replied as i hope it brings awareness. Stay safe and stay blessed. ❤️❤️❤️

I love animal people, and Tiffany certainly seems to have the heart for them. I vote a rescue dog!

The faithfulness of Noah in obeying God while all the unbelievers scoffed at him is so inspiring!!

I think Tiffany should 100 percent get to pick the new furry family member! Lawson has Duke so this next doggie is all up to TIff!

[@kde2610]

Most definitely y'all are the cool, loving animals people!! Happy birthday Duke!! Coco is precious!!!

[@bobbycoleman9457]

My first choice for another dog would be a doodle type dog or the mini shepherd, but I like the idea of a rescue dog from the shelter. They desperately need a good loving home to live in with people who love them. ❤️ Claire (Bobby's wife)

[@ToosieJoie1]

Tiffany, your family is so wonderful. I'm so glad your grandparents were able to see your home. Coco is so cute. I can't believe she's 15.

I went to the Noah’s ark twice and it only gets better every few years. God bless you all and the rest of your families❤

Get what Tiff wants. You chose your big dog now it is her turn.

[@dianecervantes9095]

That was so nice meeting your parents. They look very sweet and your grandparents happy birthday Duke, and many more. This was a great video. Y’all have a blessed Tuesday.❤

The Mini American Shepherds are pretty:) they look very similar to a Blue Australian Shepherd!♡

[@genv8428]

Definitely get a doodle, they're so fun, loving, and get along with anyone or any animal. Very smart dogs, I have one. And yes, we celebrate birthdays with our doodle as well. ❤🎉

[@kimberlylucas907]

A Golden doodle or labra-doodle. Corgies look to me like German Shepherds with short legs, lol. Doodles are so smart and easy to training they're hypoallergenic and don't shed! They're my dream dog. Get one of the puppies from katies dogs next litter that she & Travis are contemplating.

[@maryangela9178]

Doodle all the way. If you want a laid back dog, then labradoodle. If you want high energy, golden doodle. For a smaller doodle, try a Schnoodle, Bernedoodle, Whoodle, or Aussiedoodle.

[@CheapsKate77]

You should be looking at rescues to get another dog. This means you choose from what they have. Please don’t buy a dog because those people just constantly breed the poor dogs.

[@margaretbates1777]

Corgi..very intelligent, friendly and awesome smiles.

[@delilahhamm6364]

I have a rescue and she is the sweetest dog ever, if you want a small keep looking at shelters until you find what you want and it is the most rewarding thing ever to save a dogfrom a shelter and give them a loving home

[@skhephner]

I said the same before I read your comment. Agree 100%.

[@csandst1]

1 dog is enough. I want to know how Noah and his family kept the cages clean.

[@michellemybelle9591]

Doodles still shed just not like a shepherd. I'm NOT a fan of Corgi. I LOVE DOODLES! They are my absolute fave and dog sit several! We have been to the Arc and the Bible Museum in DC! the Bible Museum was where we spent the most time out of ANY museum! I 😭😭😭. Dog PAWtys are da best! Duke's PAWma, and PAWther, and grand PAWents were all there to celebrate wiff him!!! HBD Duke! I had a PAWty for one of the dogs I was watching cuz his PAWents were out of town 😞... But we had fun with 2 other guests. One stole a hamburger form another guest🤦🏽‍♀... Coco is Duke's uncle.

[@saul4119]

They are! Thanks so much for watching!

[@pamelacoffos8412]

Doodle of course They come in all sizes. They are high energy yet very lovey. I have a 70 lb golden doodle. She is high energy but if I sit down she thinks she is a 10 lb lap baby.

[@lifeinthemitten6535]

Anything doodle!! They're so smart and they have lots of energy to keep up 😂 I have a Saint Berdoodle.... yes, Saint Bernard and poodle, but he's 75% poodle and about the size of a standard poodle. But he's the best!

[@fallout6000]

I walked up to the Ark and I just started crying on how much God loves us to save the human race, and thankful that Noah was so faithful and built this the way the good Lord said. Now we know how truly big the boat was to hold two of each animal on earth.

[@angryretailbanker5103]

Didn’t God flood the Earth and wipe out most of the human race?

[@taylorallen4359]

@@angryretailbanker5103He had a reason for that… If he didn’t love mankind he would have never sent his son to die & raise again for mankind. And if he didn’t love mankind he wouldn’t judge us for the things we do against others… or judge those whole rape, kill, steal, all the evilness etc. He wouldn’t set all things right to where there’d be no more death, war, murder, none of that. Seek and you shall find. Read the word, do some research on the top. Gods plan is beyond our human mind so try not to put humanly limits on God. God bless you ❤️ Jesus also redeemed the souls of those who died before his redemption. ❤️

[@angryretailbanker5103]

@@taylorallen4359 So you’re saying it was a GOOD genocide because it allowed God to judge mankind? Why didn’t he just judge mankind anyway? And how is having a genocide less bad than just not judging mankind? Heck, I’m not even sure how your answer connected God’s totally not bad genocide to the resurrection and judgment.

[@taylorallen4359]

@@angryretailbanker5103 I think you should just read the word & do research and pray about it so you can get the answers to your questions. There was a deeper reason for it and it’s a lot to explain but I think it’s important that you read and do research so you can find out for yourself. You can always watch sermons on this topic and read the Bible. And yes, the resurrection and judgment was also apart of my answer because your question kind of claims that God does not love mankind. If you really wanted to know, you’d def try to at least seek to have your questions answered. God bless you. : )

[@angryretailbanker5103]

@@taylorallen4359 I mean, sure, but don't you find it a little unsettling that your answer to "Didn't God do a genocide" was "Yes, but he had a good reason for that", and your answer to "Why did he have to do a genocide and how was it a good thing" was "Umm, it's complicated"? Plus, I can't research morals. Well, I guess you can if you hold that morals originate from God. But the issues of the originator and arbiter or morality being the same person aside, I can't research if something is morally good or bad. We can only work that out ourselves based on ethical principles that we share. So assuming that you generally hold that genocide is a bad thing, I must ask: Was God's genocide of humanity with the flood a good thing? If so, what makes this genocide a good thing?

what about a golden doodle like your siblings they seem to be great doggies! and CUTE! i think youre cool loving dog parents :)

[@shannonwm8184]

One mistake people make with doodles is they don’t realize they are working breeds so they require lots of exercise and stimulation. I have two and they are amazing but it’s a lot of work. One is a service dog for my daughter and the other is a therapy dog which we go visit long term care homes and schools

Fave animals - chitons and wolves! The Ark is so cool. Can you imagine what it must have been like to live on the ark during the great flood ?

[@jamiegilman9735]

A doodle for sure!! They are the best with kids and less hair shed is always a huge plus. I’ve heard corgis can not be great with kids…

[@pookieloo7707]

For the dogs, if it were me, with already owning a dog that sheds, I would go with the doodle for sure. Corgi's are high maintanence when it comes to their coat, they need a lot of grooming and baths. I know nothing really about the mini husky aside from there will be plenty of holes dug in your yard. Hard choice guys, all dogs are super cute.

Go doodle if the shedding is really important to you. I bet Duke sheds like insane so don't get another one that sheds a bunch

[@dearleah7299]

They can get whatever they want.

[@no47122]

I have a corgi. She's the best! DO NOT GO TO A BREEDER FOR A DOODLE. The breeders are SOLEY breeding for the money since it's not a real breed, which is gross. Breeding has its place, but not if you're not even preserving a breed. Also, the creator of doodles said it was the worst mistake of their life. Please research ethical breeding, "doodles" aren't it. You might be ablet find a doodle rescue though, which is the only way one should get one.

[@skhephner]

Please don’t encourage the breeding of Remis pups by taking one- I used to love K&T, but breeding Remi repeatedly, sending her pups to her siblings for advertising, is just wrong. I always loved the Bates family’s love of animals, but this is really icky. Dogs shouldn’t be bred for profit.

[@franbertucci3570]

Just got back from the Ark Encounter, it was wonderful a must see. I think you should get a doddle, I have a Poodle and they are wonderful dogs and they don't shed or smell. I think Duke would do well with one, poodles come in a variety of sizes too. And colors

[@skhephner]

Maybe a Poodle from a rescue? They are excellent dogs.

Mini Shepherds are neurotic as a breed. Corgi's are awesome, read up on the differences between the Pembroke and Cardigan (with tail), you need to watch their backs since they are long. Poodle cross, it's a crap shoot whether they shed or not, temperament-depends on what it's crossed with.
