She stomps吁he Stomps She do da Nala Stomps!
If you recognize this little tune, youve likely seen Nala and Chris Lindamood () on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. This duo exploded into social media virality in 2022 because of 4-year-old Golden Retriever Nalas happy stomps. If you havent seen them, watch the video below because we cant find the words to describe her little dance.
Hopefully this finds you if youre only here for the Nala stomps.
Lindamood and Nala, who are based in Utah, are also known for their outdoor adventures: hiking up serene mountains, swimming in freshwater lakes, and camping under the stars. But now, Nala is embarking on another endeavor.
WAFFLES!
On Tuesday, premiered on TikTok. The first video features Lindamood and Nala preparing human and dog-friendly waffles. Lindamood, who has a background in health as an MTM pharmacist and outdoor athlete, says he isn’t the most experienced cook but still enjoys making simple, nutrient-dense meals to fuel his hikes.
My favorite foods are the ones I can grill, he says. “Good steaks and hamburgers are my go-to. I also often eat spaghetti and chicken, Chicken teriyaki with rice and veggies is my favorite.
Nala’s dog-friendly waffles fit perfectly into Lindamoods day-to-day life, not only because theyre high in protein and naturally sweetened with bananas but also because he can enjoy them with his adventure dog. Lindamood adds that Nala is (obviously) also a huge fan of them but admits that shell eat anything he puts in front of her.
You might be able to tell from Nalas waffle chomps, but she is not picky at all, he says. She has good restraint, but when I allow her to eat, shell make food disappear in an instant.
So whats in store for episode two?
Ive got a few ideas, Lindamood says. Im thinking of doing small sliders with ground beef, tacos, or spaghetti. Of course, all the ingredients will be safe for Nala to consume, which forces me to get creative with the recipe!”
