Dogs on Winnipesaukee

gravy boat · 05-18-2009, 09:00 AM

Here is our rescue gal and my avitar, Sarah (nicknamed "Smooch" for reasons easy to guess). ;-)
She LOVES wading in the water as she doesn't swim very well -- she was a landlubber until we rescued her...but that quickly changed!

trfour · 05-18-2009, 08:54 PM

WOW! Great pictures, Gravy! Keep e'm coming!
What a cute puppy!

Nadia · 06-05-2009, 09:50 PM

This is by far, hands down the best thread on this forum IMHO, you all have beautiful animals and they all look like they are having so much fun with their owners and eachother! And Jetskier's kitty is beautiful as well, what is the breed? I would say big fluff ball if I didn't know any better

A few shots of our newest baby, Bo -- before and after haircut. And with Sister Sarah cooling off in Winni.... Can't wait until summer!!! --GB

Nixon loves the camp and the boat.

Great action shot of Nixon! ;-)

Pineedles · 03-24-2010, 08:36 PM

Much more than a useful post, but a wonderful piece of photography! And a damn cute picture! Thank you!

SteveA · 03-24-2010, 08:54 PM

Made me dig up the old Rod Steward lyrics from 'Maggie Mae'

"The morning sun
when it's in your face
really shows your age"

Thanks for the post!

Now, admit it... that song is now stuck in the head of anyone over 45!

Sunday Paper delivery started today...Gus found the paper I left in the boat

Pineedles · 04-04-2010, 07:39 PM

I have always been convinced after years of trying to have Reilly and Sam (two of the best labs ever) do what I want, rather than what they want, that dogs are smarter than people.

I don't know about smarter....he was swimming in 40 degree water today

The paper is actually his one and only daily chore, he can't relax in the morning until the paper comes. He will sit and wait patiently in the driveway, some mornings if he is lucky the paper guy hands it to him with a dog biscuit.
He has been doing this since 10 weeks, I can remember him dragging the paper up the driveway as a pup. (I know I have video somewhere)

Pineedles · 04-05-2010, 08:29 AM

OMG, if only I could get them to do that! BTW, in the picture you posted, there is a rectangular area with a round "pipe?" in the middle. What is that? Nice looking comfortable firepit area.

sorry for going off topic

that is one end of our washer pits, a horseshoe type game where you pitch 2" diameter washers into the cup, fun, addictive, and good for the whole family as you are not throwing the big heavy shoes.

Scott, Steeler is gorgeous. I'd love to see what he looks like when he finishes growing.

So it's not only at our house! Ours has assigned HERSELF several jobs..the biggest being she feels SHE must notify my husband when dinner is ready...after having bugged me everyday around 4:30 to get into the kitchen and get busy,and "dogging" my every move as I prepare it!

ScottKnowles that's a gorgeous picture! Welcome!

AltonGuy · 04-08-2010, 05:22 PM

Here is a pic of Romeo or Romie (pronounced Roam-ee) as we call him. He was pestering me in the truck earlier this week for his walk around Alton Bay. He loves to walk near the water but isn't keen about going in it! Even when we are in the boat he takes refuge under the drivers seat!

Bear Island South · 04-09-2010, 11:33 PM

This is Otis, he came to visit us last summer, not much of a water dog but he liked relaxing and lounging in the empty seats.

donnamatrix · 10-11-2011, 12:32 PM

Not sure if I am savvy enough to post an image, but our 2-Siamese cat household acquired a 3 month old Labradoodle over the weekend. Good grief. I am basically a cat person, but my husband wanted a "buddy" ... so here we go. Our new family member (Cosmo) is very laid back, affectionate guy. We're working on the housetraining - and he is terribly smart. The cats seem to be doing okay.

Pineedles · 10-11-2011, 01:12 PM

What is it about Labs and recliners? My two have to share the recliner with whomever is sitting there. I had to get an extra large one, recliner that is, to accomodate us all.

Cosmo looks happy in his new home.

Greene's Basin Girl · 10-11-2011, 11:17 PM

donnamatrix-- I will be anxious to meet Cosmos when you are out in the boat. Maybe he will learn to float and he can join me by my raft. I have plenty of extra floats. He is a beautiful dog.

donnamatrix · 10-12-2011, 01:52 PM

Hi GBG: Jerry wanted a pal. Now he has one. Don't look at the total chaos in the background of the photo... dogs create havoc. Cosmo is a nice guy, and he hasn't even tried to chase or eat the cats. Amen!!!

Bring him by to play with Steeler!!

donnamatrix · 10-13-2011, 12:04 PM

I am fairly certain that although Steeler is a lover, he is HUGE, and Cosmo is a bit timid. I think he would wet his fur!!!

NHBUOY · 10-13-2011, 01:23 PM

Benson, my BEST pal for 17 years.

You should see him with my buddy's 5 pound dog and Steeler's new "girl", Athena (our 5 month old kitten). No worries!

Seriously though, socializing dogs when they are young is the key.

Grant · 10-13-2011, 02:21 PM

It's nearly impossible to keep these two out of the Lake. Reilly (9.5 yrs) still catches some good air retrieving the Frisbee. Lucy (4) prefers the ball, and will go all day long. They, like me, are lucky enough to have spent all their years on the Lake, and love it just as much.

Pineedles · 11-16-2011, 09:28 PM

Grant, once again thanks for some great photos! I think your Reilly and mine (yellow Lab, same age, same diving skill) must be of the same blood.

I thought your dog learned those diving skills from watching his master.
