Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations This Canadian Goose is welcome...?

I really get a kick out of watching the dog around the pond. Whenever I spend time at the pond my black lab entertains herself by walking the shoreline trying to catch anything that moves. Usually she's catching frogs but once she actually got a 3/4 pound BG. She's gotten quite good at watching the frogs jump into the water and waiting for them to surface before diving in head first after them. Labs are great around water, they really like to swim.

ok, i have a dog story, Jerry, the terrier, on the edge of the pond, will make a splash with a paw and then he will bite at the splash but because it is just to his side he turns a little, then he splashes and lunges again and turns a little more, so the result is he is chasing splashes in circles and he has a little forward motion so he will go all the way down the shore splashing and circling. he loves fish food and waits for it to wash back to shore.

This is one of my Shepard’s that fights with the other one to ride shot gun, she refuses to get out. Between the two of them, the have crashed my Rangers into my Garage door, the side of my house and into the pond, learned how to open the frig in my shop and steal bottled water, open all the doors in the house, open the windows in my motor home, lift the toilet lid for a drink…the list goes on and on. It may sound like fun, but some times I want to smack them up side the head.

BZ,

bobad....that pic made my day....thanks

Thanks, Ken. I'll have to take that under consideration, however, my buddy is like 13 years old now, so it may be too mentally taxing on him to "give him back" his wild oats so to speak.

Bobad, are those frogs still alive?

Jim: Thanks! The yellow labs belong to a friend and fellow pondmeister.

Sunil: "No animals were punctured or harmed while producing this picture"

That's cool. I know that some dogs don't actually kill other animals but instead like to play with them.

Tell me about it. Every Spring our Lab tries to adopt baby skunks.

Yet, it's preferable to rolling on an over ripe armadillo carcass.

bobad, that pic is great. My dog also doesn't kill the frogs, just plays with them. But my frogs are leapard frogs that are only about 4 to 6 inches long, nothing like those giants.
Hey I was out hunting the other day and shot a canada goose. Thing must have weighed 15 pounds. Should have seen the lab. The goose fell into the pond and she had to push it to shore since she couldn't fit her mouth around it. Then it took here several minutes to figure out how to pick it up for the retrieve. She did it though, carried 200 yards back to the barn with head and wings dragging all the way.
