A Fish Tail

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on November 24, 2009

Frankly, I don’t get the appeal.  They just sit there in a boat, dangling a piece of string in the water.  They say it’s relaxing and all, but I don’t wanna relax!  I wanna run, jump around — you know, dog stuff — but instead I’m stuck here staring at this water for hours.  And I haven’t even seen one fish.  Not.  One.  Fish.

And to top it all off, my tail hurts for some reason.

Well, who wouldn’t want to nibble a cutie like that, Susan S.?

“SQUIRREL!!!”

Someone throw a ball in the water already…

5 Rachael 11.24.09 at 6:15 am

I bet that tailio tastes like honey. Sweet, wet honey. :)

I hope he’s using at least 60 SPF to protect hims little skin.

I don’t think that bait won’t work even for dogfish

:D :D @260Oakley

Just remember whatever fish the doggeh catches will taste great when prepared using the Bass-o-Matic. Mmmm, that’s good bass!

AWWWWW!!! Makes me miss summer!

10 Blondie 11.24.09 at 6:38 am

Pretty puppy! Looks like someone fell asleep in the sun hugging him.

11 Lose That Girl 11.24.09 at 6:38 am

So *that’s* how my dog ended up with no tail!

@260Oakley “Lab experiment!” Heehee.

What a lovely doggums. I grew up with a Lab, and they are such nice puppehs.

13 DaytimeDeb 11.24.09 at 7:12 am

I think we need a COXCU of the tip of the tail. Possible? Pretty Please?

P.S. Cute Puppy! Love Love Love the muzzle/ear combination!

14 Katrina 11.24.09 at 7:34 am

Of course he is looking for catfish…

15 Theresa 11.24.09 at 7:43 am

Hee hee. Here we see the Yellow Lab in his natural environment.

16 paranoiagirl 11.24.09 at 8:02 am

Dogs going fishing? Now you’re just telling tall tails.

17 CYT 11.24.09 at 8:14 am

Daww I have a yellow lab just like him sleeping at my feets right now =) He would for sure much rather be out on a lake fishing right now though even in this miserable weather.

18 zeldapie 11.24.09 at 8:15 am

Bet he’s fishin’ for cat fish.

19 Katrina 11.24.09 at 8:18 am

Puppies or Guppies? The eternal question…

The concert was the best yet! The young musicians were wonderful, the church setting worked out fabulously, the reception was great! “Amazing Grace” on the saxophone was wonderful, we had four more musicians do solos and a duet, a great audience larger than usual and if anyone connected with the Central Connecticut Civic Youth Orchestra is reading this, I am very, very proud of you!

And now, back to you, NOMTOM!

Why do I hear the Jaws theme??

21 skyweaver 11.24.09 at 8:35 am

*SQUEAL*

This looks just like my baby, Athena! Awww! She wants to fly into the water and make a ginormous splooooosh!

22 Theresa 11.24.09 at 8:48 am

Katrina, excellent!

23 chanpon 11.24.09 at 9:11 am

I don’t know if he’ll catch any fish, but I think he might catch a few squeeing humans.

24 Kelsey 11.24.09 at 9:57 am

Too cute! I love the puppy seat!

25 Linda - SF 11.24.09 at 9:59 am

Methinks it’s a Lab mix?? White spots on back [or sun reflection??], slender, course and thin-looking coat. Hmmmm……
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S puppers!

26 kittyadventures 11.24.09 at 10:00 am

HE is waiting for the opportunity to Splooosh into the lake and go retireving things… you know; fish, balls, sticks, Ducks!

27 Me 11.24.09 at 10:05 am

Doesn’t necessarily have to be a mix. My lab has white shoulder stripes just like that, though this one does seem to lack the typical barrel chest and fat bearbutt.

28 AuntieMame 11.24.09 at 10:59 am

This is just like Eeyore trying to save Roo when he fell in the river! Awww!

29 kittyadventures 11.24.09 at 11:23 am

A Whale of a tale and it’s all true I swear by my tatoo!

30 Katrina 11.24.09 at 11:27 am

Thanks, Theresa-it really was. I’m just beaming ovah hea!

31 Susan 11.24.09 at 11:39 am

Those white marks on his shoulder blades are where his wings retract.

32 MadameX 11.24.09 at 12:01 pm

Yep, Susan, you’re absolutely right. Labs and Goldens are as close as you can get to God’s angels here on Earth…

33 Monterri 11.24.09 at 1:00 pm

It’s probably just some fisherdog going fishing in blorpfish infested waters in the day…

34 Belle 11.24.09 at 1:37 pm

No collar or tags for the doggie? That’s somewhat unsettling.

35 Katiedid 11.24.09 at 1:47 pm

After going to cuteoverload for the past couple of years I have learned something. No matter how cute, cuddy, funny, or awwww-inspiring a picture can be, there will always be at least one person that will find something wrong with a picture. Something that you would not even think to look for in a picture that is supposed to make you feel a little less stressed. Without even knowing the back story, or all the facts, people base their opinion or comment on a single picture and can ruin it for so many more. That picture you took of Whiskers next to the goldfish bowl, “oh no! He could eat those fish and then choke on them and die!” The photo of your dogs puppies sleeping all cuddled up together, “Where is the momma dog, don’t you know puppies should never be left alone, even for a second!” Come on people, enjoy the picture for what it is. A PICTURE!

36 Sappy Stories 11.24.09 at 1:51 pm

I’m amazed that the dog is actually DRY! Usually a dog that comfy by the water is sopping wet and loving it. :)

37 jayjay 11.24.09 at 7:23 pm

Matthau calling Lemmon

38 victoreia 11.24.09 at 9:29 pm

@Belle: A day fishing means a day without a tie on….um, I mean, without a collar on….

39 Sandi's Mom 11.24.09 at 10:06 pm

@Katiedid, just what I was thinking. That pup looks like a young lab. Before too many treats and fish .

40 essacee 11.25.09 at 8:10 am

I love this age!

They look like they aren’t ready for a big boy/girl body but have to get used to it anyway… *clumpsiness and lawn chairs ensue*

41 Karen 11.25.09 at 1:06 pm

Aww, what a handsome doggy. I want to cuddle him.

42 Jen 11.29.09 at 5:40 pm

yes, Katiedid, there are always those folks will find something to complain about. Doggie is in the middle of the lake enjoying him/herself with his loving doggie parents keeping watch. Every dog should be so “mistreated” as to be able to enjoy a day on the lake without the annoying collar! I’m going to go home, take the collars off BOTH of my dogs and give ‘em a good neck rub! They deserve it.

It’s slowpoke! The pokémon!
