Rock fishing ain’t for the feeble of mind, no sir. Takes patience, a keen eye, and the ability to stand on your head in shallow water. But the worst part is when you get’em on land — the little rascals’ll scamper right back into the drink ‘afore you can even get out your fliet knife.
Them Rocks Is Wily, Ah Tells Ya
July 14, 2011 By
Haven’t we all had days like that? And those peeps think it’s funny.
A fliet knife? Must be some fancy-schmancy fishing equipment.
When I was growing up, our German Shepherd used to do this. It was great fun when we went camping. Baron was constant entertainment as we went to play in running streams and he “fished” rocks. Good dog.
And I love the human’s helpless giggling while still obviously loving this “good dog.” All kinds of win.
I used to have a Newfoundland (passed on now). In June, when all the fish in the St. Lawrence died and it seems they ALL came to our beach, Panda would run out and “rescue” vast numbers of them. She’d carefully take one in her mouth, paddle to shore, lay it gently on the sand and go back for another.
AWWWWWS!! That’s so sweet!
NewFoundland’s are such gentle souls. We have one in the neighborhood that will sit outside the local coffee shop and wait for his masters. Your Panda sounded like a sweetie pie.
Sisyphus’ Dog!
no relation to Schrodinger’s Cat….
You win the internets.
hah!
“The struggle itself…is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” -Albert Camus
This imagination game just got 100 times easier.
That was my first thought too!
Perfect!
WIN
Ima gonna GIT that rock….
Rolling stones fan goes overboard. Repeatedly.
lol !
Poor goggie, you can’t always get what you want.
or, sometimes, even what you need.
LOLOL you crack me up.
SIlly puppy! You would never see a cat doing something like this!
No, said cat would be all “Hooman! Bring me de ball. And a couple of feesh while u r at it.”
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
Poor fella.
So he’s obviously not insane since he figured out how to stop it from rolling back in! Smart doggeh!
I just loved that dirty look he shot at them: “What’s so damn funny?”
Yes! I just know he was all “Hey, quit laughing at me!”
I thought he was saying “You figure this out!”
Poor guy! His expression at :039 is all “WTF is going on????”
“I lurv rock n’ roll
So put anudder rock inna water, baby
I lurv rock n’ roll
So come an’ take your time an’ splash wiff me..”
Win!!
[curtsies gracefully]
Fankiez!!
Awesome – one of my fav tunes, and so perfect here!
Happy to oblige!
Niiice!
I think you use fliet knives when you’re doing pliés.
No, those are plié knives.
I love when he looks at the camera as if to say “WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING! AND STOP LAUGHING! IT’S NOT FUNNY!!”
just that!
The frustrated snarfle did me in.
Goggie’s hoomans? Kind of being [EXPLETIVE DELETED] there.
Goggie’s hoomans? Kind of being jerks there.
Really? You wouldn’t giggle like that at your dog? Because I would, and I love her more than anything in my world. I thought this was hilarious while still admiring that adorably determined dog. It seems as though the owners feel the same.
I agree, I think they love him alot and are tickled pink by his antics.
The humans could have removed the dog from the water, or moved the rock to the grass for the dog, but these options are also jerk-like in their own way, because they would have deprived the dog of the satisfaction of solving the problem on its own.
Pets should be allowed to have the kind of fun they want to have (so long as it doesn’t expose them to clear danger). Once an activity stops being fun, they stop playing and move on to something else. As Jenn points out, we can laugh at these antics and still love our pets.
Here here! Brilliant chap!
Now if I could only figure out a way to incorporate donuts and exercise for me with this same concept I would have a rockin’ bod
I’m with ya on this one twisted! Why, oh why do donuts have to taste THAT delicious?!
Donuts: Is there nothing they cannot do?
i think our pets laugh at us when we do something pathetic, too.
What breed is this? Rockweiler?
American Stonefordshire Terrier.
“stonesfordshire” …..hahahaha!
Haha!
Rockshund?
I was thinking maybe some sort of Boulderg.
Chesapebble Bay Retriever.
Welsh Pembrock Corgi?
Or perhaps a Quarrgy?
A Basaltji?
No, wait, wait. Clearly it’s at least part Bauxer.
Okay, I swear I’ll stop getting my geology nerd on after this: a Schisterke?
Nicely done, Redscylla!
He doesn’t seem to take anything for granite.
Jack Rubble Terrier
Perhaps it’s a mutt, a cur, a mongravel.
Bernese Mountain Dog? (ok, that’s a real breed, but it works!)
Sedimenterrier?
Maybe he’s a lapidary dog?
American Pebble Terrier (but you have to say is fast…)
*sits on hands trying not to write pessimistic comments about dental wearing and ear infections*
So close!
Despite all that, adorable hard working doggeh.
I love at :48 when the dog is having trouble getting back up on the sidewalk and looks at his owner as if to say, “Some help here please???”
LOL at the guy snickering and snorfling!
Talk about a game of fetch on autopilot. The fleeting doggie handstands are my fave. So Qte!
Aw. I love pitties, they do the silliest things!
they’re such mushpots!!
Ah, the simple joys of life.
At first I feel sorry for him. Then I think I wish I could be that easily entertained!
OK, its probably just my computer/internet, but is the end of that dog’s tail split??
Not split just the digital camera trying to keep up with the fast action of the wagging tail.
While I laughed at the “dogs is stoopid” antics, I’m impressed at how he keeps finding his rock even tho its under water! Good goggie indeed!
Awww bless! At least he figured it out!
*giggles*
Now who has rocks in their heads-eh??
Endless hours of entertainment…
Gotta wonder what those rocks are doing to that dog’s teeth.
The sea was angry that day my friend!!
