A Golden Retriever named Oakley Rose had zero interest in going out for New Year’s Eve — instead, the plans involved a blanket, a box of tissues, and the finale of her favorite show. Her owners, who run Oakley’s @oakeethegoldie Instagram account, filmed the whole thing. And the video explains why people latched onto it so easily. She didn’t need fireworks or a party because she had the finale of “Stranger Things” to care about.
Golden Retriever appears too eager to watch her favorite show’s finale
The video opens with the Golden Retriever sitting right in the middle of the bed with her favorite show on. She is wrapped so tightly in a blanket that she almost looks like she is wearing it as a costume — all while the TV is playing in front of her, the room is dim, and she has a stuffed toy tucked under one paw. There is even a tissue box nearby, which only makes the whole thing funnier.
On the screen, the text says, “In case you need me…this is where I’ll be NYE.” Meanwhile, her caption read, “Won’t catch me missing the finale,” which fits the entire scenario perfectly.
Viewers in the comments related to the whole thing. One user said, “Ooohh yesss !!! Same,” while another wrote, “Me as well,” and a bunch of others just laughed at how serious Oakley looked. Someone joked, “Priorities. My mom did the same.” A different viewer said they needed “more content like this,” and honestly, that’s fair.
The moment neither looks staged nor fancy. Oakley just looks like a dog who settled into her favorite spot and refused to move until the episode ended, and she is staring at the screen like she has been waiting months for this — like most of us waiting on our favorite shows.
While the world is out partying, the Golden Retriever plans to bundle up with her favorite show and not worry about anything else.
