Apolo & Lancelot

2025 was an amazing year for us, our first full year in the U.S.! We had so many incredible new experiences, met wonderful new friends, and discovered beautiful places… and honestly, I didn’t always have my camera with me. Most of the time, these memories were captured on my iPhone, and that’s why this recap is full of our everyday cell phone pics! 🧡 This year, I chose to be a little quieter on Instagram and didn’t post as much as I wanted (even our fall photos, trust me, we took tons! 😅). I always meant to share them, but time just slipped away. Hope we all have a spectacular 2026! I can’t promise I’ll be super active here, but I can promise to share more of those special moments with you. Thank you for being part of this amazing year with us! Happy New Year! 🎆✨

Our new profile picture had to make it to the feed too, so you can see it in more detail! 🧡 I wanted a photo that represents the ginger boys (always happy and together — and easy to tell them apart), this new phase of ours (what’s better than an North American autumn background for that), and my photography (the colors and light). Do you think I nailed it? _ Nossa nova foto de perfil tbm teve que vir pro feed, pra vocês poderem ver com mais detalhes! 🧡 Queria uma foto que representasse os ruivos (eles sempre felizes e juntinhos — e tb que seja fácil de diferenciar eles), essa nossa nova fase (nada melhor que um fundo do outono norte americano) e minha fotografia (as cores e luz). Vocês acham que consegui? #goldenretriever #dogsofinsta #dogsofusa #greatoutdogs #fallcolors #autumnvibes #dogphotography #dogphotographer #petphotography

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎆 2024 was such an important year for us. I never imagined we’d be starting 2025 on a new continent, experiencing so many new things, discovering new places, meeting new people, and truly feeling at home. It was a year of big changes, dreams coming true, and so much learning, but most of all, it was a year to be incredibly grateful! I hope 2025 continues along the same path and turns out to be an amazing year! We wish your year will be just as incredible, bringing lots of good things to all of us. Thank you to everyone who has followed along with us, and who will keep us company in this brand new year ahead. Sending warm hugs from our family to yours! 🧡✨ _ FELIZ ANO NOVO! 🎆 2024 foi um ano muito importante pra gente… Não imaginei que começaríamos nosso 2025 em um novo continente, tendo vivido tantas novas experiências, conhecendo novos lugares, novas pessoas, e nos sentindo totalmente em casa. Foi um ano de -literalmente- mudança, realizações de sonhos, e muito aprendizado, mas eu diria também que foi um ano de agradecer muito! 2025 espero que continue sendo dessa mesma maneira, e que seja um ano incrível! Nós desejamos que o seu ano também seja incrível, que traga muitas coisas boas para todos nós. Obrigada a todos vocês que nos acompanham, e vão continuar conosco nesse ano que se inicia. Um abraço carinhoso da nossa família! 🧡✨

A great way to topper their kibble, adding more flavor protein! This is the new @purebites sprinkle, made with only duck… and Apolo’s pics proves how tasty it is 😅

Cherry Blossom season 🌸 I’m always in awe of how perfect nature is. Just days ago the trees looked lifeless, and suddenly everything is blooming and full of life again 🥹 This is my absolute favorite part of spring, watching the world wake up and fill with color!

Apolo turns 9! Happy birthday, my luv 🥹 After a certain age, you just find yourself grateful for one more year with your dog, even knowing he’ll have a long life ahead. Apolo (or Polinhu for our Brazilian friends — it means lil’ Apolo) is my canine soulmate, and I’m always amazed at how he stays so active and playful even as he ages. That comforts me so much. Forever grateful for every moment with you. BTW, this year I did his birthday photos outside, just to be where he loves most 🧡

Golden in the snow is my fav color 🥹🧡

Nothing beats these chicken hearts from @purebites ! The ginger boys go wild for them! 🧡

Snowy hiking is one of the funniest things to do! I love enjoying winter with my ginger boys and seeing how happy they are. And @fi.dogs help us tracking all of ours walkings! 🐾 I’m just so grateful to provide this life for them, I’m really glad I get to do that! 🥹🧡

The morning after a snowfall is truly breathtaking! Blue skies and everything covered in white is definitely my fav winter landscape 🥹🧡
