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

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)

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.

This here is "Emma". She is a 9 year old, 100 lb, female yellow lab. Because of her size we nicknamed her "Emmazilla"!

She considers herself the Queen of Welch Island!

Here is a picture of Princess, our 10 year old bulldog. We have 3 other dogs that I will post separately. Bringing 4 dogs along makes trips to the island a nightmare sometimes, but they love it. We have another english bulldog, a chesapeake bay retriever and an oversized japanese chin.

AWESOME caption!!

This is Norrie @ Buzzel's cove. A water dog she is not but is a good sport and is always up for some R+R. In this pic she pretty much told the wife to swim her own fool self back in.

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!

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.
