Default Dogs on Winnipesaukee

Ok, the dishes are done and I am not bored, but I had an idea... I know some of you are saying what now Pineedles? Well if the Winnipesaukee.com server can stand it, how about a thread where we can post pictures of our dogs on Winnipsaukee? The rules are that your dog (sorry, no cats unless they are immersed in water and don't look P'd off) must be in or above the water line in some fashion. But the caveat is, that does not include pictures of them in boats (in most cases). So, on the dock is OK, swinging on a rope swing into the water is OK, parachuting from a helicopter into the water is OK, on the gunnels riding in an 18' Wellcraft is not, although I would ask that the moderator to give some leniency in this category; Particularly if the pooch is captaining boats above 20'. Let the posting begin.

I love this place!!!

Default No Dogs Please!

I've got neighbors that have dogs that bark all the time. On one side it is a big dog that thinks he has to bark loud every time I am out in the yard or drive in or out.

On the other side are neighbors that have a yippy little dog that barks at all hours of the day or night. One night they came home in their boat at 11:00PM and the dog barked for 15 minutes straight. I finally walked out on the front deck and said "Could you do something about the dog please" They replied "Go back inside and watch TV. The dog is barking because he is happy to see us, that's what dogs do" Ignorant!

I don't know weather to start calling the police or get a loudspeaker aimed at their house and play recorded dog barking every morning at 3:00AM until they get it.

Sorry, but the fewer dogs there are at the lake (at least in my neighborhood) the happier I will be.

And before you ask the question, I have never done anything, in any way, that impacted the peace and tranquility of my neighbors. I should not have to listen to their dog bark at any time. If I honked the horn on my car the amount of times and at the odd hours their dogs barked would they find that acceptable? I think not.

A little mutual respect for your neighbors would go a long way.

Default Barking dog alarm

A barking dog alarms might work for your barking problem. They use a sonic tone to get the dog's attention. While they work on automatic, I've had better luck when using them on manual. When the dog barks, you turn it on and vary the pitch. They stop - you stop. They start - you start again. It takes a while to train them, but eventually they get the picture. Good luck.

I didn't think this thread would start an uproar of people who are bothered by dogs. But thank you for trying to help TiltonBB. I too use a sonic device to "help" my dogs see teh err of their way when they bark unappropriately.

Here's a pic of one of my babies, her name is Reilly and she is 2 years old, she loves her brother (my 23 yeard old human son) more than anything.

Talking Cats Unite!

I just want to let you know that our cats are very upset regarding this thread. They feel that a thread that exclusively focuses on dogs is inappropriate on this forum and they are considering posting nasty remarks about all the local restaurants until this injustice is rectified.

I have tried to reason with them, however, they are threatening to walk across my keyboard and the last time that they did that it took me about an hour to fix my network connections and system settings. Frankly, I think that they are serious and urge the forum to consider this threat seriously.

As I write this one is sleeping next to my laptop, but I suspect that he is aware of my every move.

Alright let's see fluffy, and paws, and Finnegan. I had two calicos years ago; spike and jones and they were really cute, so bring on the pictures. BTW, reilly's to young to operate the PWC she's only 2 years old and she didn't pass the on-line boater safety course. She's a wizard a jumping up on the keyboard but got too many wrong answers.

Here is a pic of the 3 dalmatians that I live with. This pic is about 3 years old. Carrie is on the right, she is 7 now. Ace, who is 5 is in the middle. And Pirate (who is also in my avatar) is on the left. He is 3, and is a lot bigger now. He is the ruler of this roost.

We also have 3 cats, but I don't have any pictures of them. Actually, one of my cats (my baby Boo Boo) has been missing since last night. So we might be down to 2 cats, much to my dismay. We are holding out hope, but she has never been gone overnight before.
Anyway, we also have Marshmellow, who is a large white fluffy kitty, and is around 8 or 9 years old. We took him in as a stray, so we don't know exactly how old he is. And we adopted a kitty a couple months ago, she is not officially named yet. I call her Kwinny (KWNN-kitty with no name). She is a ball of fire!!

I hope you find Boo Boo. I lost a real cutie (paws) to a coyote many years ago while I heard it happen. I'm sure yours is just day trippin for a few days.

What a picture! I already have my favorite. Pirate! Plus I see they are all wearing their border collars. What a wonderful invention.

You should have seen this reaction to the no cats rule.

Lucky for you we kept all 8 of our cats away from your first post.

And no, I'm not going to post pics of all eight.

Grant,
Reilly and Lucy are adorable! Having two is always hilarious. I'm sure you find yourself in stitches when they entertain themselves. My two yellow labs have given me plenty of good laughs.

SteveA,

The Youtube movie was great! I had a Xerox repairman try to repair my office copier wiht the same dedication as that cat.

Sorry to bring the thread down but we have dog issues here as well. Barking almost constantly.. The little yippy ones realy get me. How can someone sit at the lake with a dog barking non stop and find it tranquil?
Respect seems to be a thing of the past as more people are showing up with dogs.. running through yards and pooping all over the place

The problem you cite is not a dog problem, but a people problem -- just like loud boats, loud music, camp loudspeakers, motorcycles, etc. Did I mention loud boats? All these can be controlled by their owners (well, maybe not the boats so much).

We have two dogs, and usually have three at the house. They don't bark, they are kept on-leash when off our property, and I am the only one who sees their poop. Barking dogs are an owner issue. Address the owners, address the issue.

I think my dogs enjoy the Lake as much as humans!

Default Well said Grant

I won't say anything against the people who are posting comments that I didn't intend to solicit with this thread, as it is important for we who have canine and feline guests in our home to respect the rights of our neighbors. Hopefully all who read this thread who love their cats and dogs do as Grant, SteveA, Chipj29, jetskier, sa mersdith, lakegeezer, and I'm sure many more try to do, which is to be good neighbors.

Huh and TiltonBB, you should speak to your inconsiderate neighbors.

Default great thread Pineedles!

I will try find my pics of my dogs that both passed away last summer. The "yippie" rat terrier, although rare for the breed, loved the water, as long as there was a ball thrown off the dock, or into the water, she would swim forever. She would also ride in the cockpit of the kayak with me, and then venture out on the front of it and enjoy the ride. Had to scoop her out a few times! My shepard/golden tried to "save" me and my 3 yr old son, one time on a tube. She jumped off a rock and headed out to us. Luckily, she was intercepted by my hubby, or we would have been deflated and gone down. I miss these dogs, and although the yipping can be annoying, I learned this summer that she really kept the squirells and chipmunks out of our yard at home. The critters have taken over!! I just know my dogs loved the lake, and didn't bark at night or at neighbors. My cat on the other hand would probably have stripped the area of all small living creatures,and maybe not so small, so he stays home! Sorry to the kitty's!
Keep the pics coming, love them all!!!

Thanks Pineedles. We have lost other cats to coyotes, and I heard one of them getting picked off. Was not fun. This one hurt a lot, as we have had Boo Boo for several years, and she has come to be my baby kitty.

And wouldn't you know!! As I typed this while watching the start of the Sox game, I thought I heard a meow. I jumped up and low and behold, there is Boo Boo at the front door! She has never been gone overnight once, nevermind two nights. I brought her inside and gave her a big hug. My guess is that she got trapped in someones garage or something. I don't know, but she wouldn't stay out on her own.

Anyway, a big sigh of relief for me.

Default Thank you.

When she comes up, she heads straight down the hill for the dock. She does laps off the dock until she is so exhausted she can't get herself back on shore. My sister has had to aid her a time or two.

Back in the 70's my husbands family had a dog. The family would stop at Sawyers, and the dog was always itching to get to the lake. Sometimes they'd let her out and she'd run to the house. When they got home, the dog was in the water. Times have definitely changed since then, and one would never do that now. But cool memories.

I think my dogs enjoy the Lake as much as humans!
We have become "cat people" but no pets have ever beat our Goldens. They are both sadly gone for many years. No better breed IMHO.

Someone once told me that living with a Golden was like living with an idiot relative.. (no insult to anyones relatives! )

My favorite Golden story comes from a friend of my Dad. Frank and his wife where getting ready to go out for the evening, and husband Frank was assigned to go out and find "Walter" their Golden. Old Walter was always off visiting the neighbors. As Frank drove around in the pouring rain looking for Walter, he finally spotted him on a neighbors front porch. He rolled down the window and called Walter into the car. Walter jumped into the back seat. When he got home, he found his "Walter" already on his front porch.. and had to return the other Golden to his home. Long story, but anyone that has or has had a Golden will "get it".

See title above, I'd rather have a Golden than some of my relatives... cause they sure can be idiots!

AND............... the story about Frank and Walter is a riot........ and I always think the name of the man in On Golden Pond was Walter so I found that even funnier! (I know, I know, his name was Norman................so sue me! )

TY, Steve A, your post just tickled my funny bone -- on a night when I especially needed it!

Talking My Pumpernickel Pups!

Her are my two Cairn Terriers, Khaleesi (on the right) and Harry.
(His middle name is Drogo! Hers is Daenerys. )

They both don't like getting wet, but they sure like rides on boats! He turned three in April and she turned two in January. They are blood cousins - his papa and her mama were litter mates. I love my little fur babies. They are my surrogate children.

Same thing with kids. Could it be the owners?? Don't clean up dog crap , or food & trash left on beaches. Just why my dog can't go 99%

My Hollie Bear is not the typical dog you see on the lake. Pekingese are not known for their swimming ability. To be honest the only time she has been in the lake is when she walked off the end of the swim platform not realizing it was water. Since then she has been completely content to sit on the bow seat or the Captains chair and "watch"

Hope I did this right...

Dixie (she was 15 when she passed) but she loved the water. This picture was taken when she was 14 and her hips were getting bad so she needed a little help from a life jacket.

Yes you are correct. She was a GS. Loved my husband followed him all over. Our new dog, Tess, see avitar, loves me and follows me everywhere.

We haven't got Tess in the water yet, but we were told she was part GS, part Golden and a little Collie.

We ordered the life jacked thru a website on the web although I don't remember the name.

Thanks for starting this thread. I am an animal lover!!!

Default Doggie PFD's

I got a lab this past winter who should have a sign hanging around his neck "got water". But, I was listening to people who told me that sometimes they just dont know when to quit and when they get older they need help....So when I was at Christmas Tree Shop and saw the Xlarge for $12.99 I scooped it up..

Well we don't have any in the lake, but we have plenty on or shortly after being in the lake.

These are our grand-dogs.

Bailey and Bentley riding at the bow



Bailey taking a breather after many rounds of fetch



Bentley on the dock



Sunbathing



And last but not least, Zoe, our Golden oldie (13 years old!) drying of in the house after a swim out to the raft

Default Great story!

Thanks for a great story about Walter the Golden! I did try to get a picture of our Sheltie on, because she'd love to see the lake. That can never happen, because she sings the Star Spangled Banner and every other thing you can think of--non-stop-- when riding in the car, so none of us could survive the 1250 mile ride up there. Well, in any case, I got a lesson on bending the rules, because my attempts got me a nasty message( something about security) from my computer, and I ended up logged off and out of the Forum, in spite of myself! Whatever! I don't need to go there...I'll just enjoy all of your pictures! Thanks...they are all wonderful.

Talking Not Sure If I Did This Right...

...if I did, there should be two pictures (one with me and the "Golden Girls", Grace and Elle-7 month old sisters) on the raft and one with Elle in the bow with her shades on.

She's a little insane and I love her all the more for it.

I'm not sure I know how to post one, but I'll give it a shot. If it works, this is Bailey 7 years ago when he was 4 years old. Not sure he'd be able to get his butt up on the bow seat at this point in time, although he was insistent about going for boat rides this past summer.

Lost all of my photos from the summer, but picture my beautiful 1 1/2 year old black Lab diving off the dock, swimming with a twice-his-size stick in his mouth, and hiding underneath my seat in the boat. That's what i would have shown you.

This is Alexander (as of Alexander the Great fame); he clearly has a predilection for the lake and water, but primarily as a stopper.

Default Cats on Winnipesaukee

I was browsing thru some of the Links and found this at http://www.winnicuisine.com/winni/stories.htm

I know SteveA and others will love it. This guy in the cooler fulfills the "on the water criteria".

ENTER NOW - The First-Ever Mark Island “Cat/zini Aqua Sail”

CONTEST RULES

1. Each entrant must fashion a boat from the attached zucchinis which is capable of supporting one slightly frantic cat above the surface of Winnipesaukee waters for a minimum of thirty second. (Cats will be provided by K-W Kennels of Gilford.)

2. Launching of “CATBOATS” will occur at 2:00 pm Sunday, Aug. 7, 1983. (Each participant is responsible for the preservation of assigned zucchinis until that moment.)

3. The basic theme of each boat must be “ZUCCHINI CAT-BOAT”, but freedom of expression is encouraged.

4. The New Hampshire SPCA will furnish one witness to assure that boat occupants are not subjected to inhumane treatment, although an occasional dunking will not be construed as anti-feline treatment. JUDGES will award prizes for originality of design, sea-worthiness, and driest cat. Be sure to attend this event and witness the thrill of such events as:
Cat Throw Cat Sink Cats on the Roof Top And more...

PLACE:
Aldridge Beach or Deep Cove (depending on prevailing wind.)
Apparently, the cats got wind of the event, and a couple of them disappeared for the day. Fortunately, we were able to draft a couple of pet rabbits as last minute substitutes, this being that they either liked the water better than cats, or were dumber. A large number of craft were entered in the competition.
The outcome of the race will be revealed in Winnipesaukee Cuisine

Smile Best Thread on the Forum!

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

Our Cairn Terriers: Bailey and her new brother, Harry.
Bail will be two at the end of August and Harry is just shy of 3 months old.

Harry accidentally took his first swim today. Don't think he much cared for for it.

I've learned that is quite difficult to take good picture of a dark colored dog!

Default Check out your pups new license tags!

Rosie looks like a real good companion! I noticed the pine tree license on her collar. It is similar to our town's 2012 tag.

The thing that bothered me with our town's latest license tag is that the sharp edges had burrs, as opposed to other years where sharp edges were filed smooth. I don't know who manufacturerd these tags for towns, but I registered a complaint with my town and they said they would look into it. I filed Rielly's and Sam's new tags so there were no burr edges or sharp corners. Over protective? Maybe. Can't trust government agencies to make sure that my "kids" aren't hurt? You betya!

Jeff, Rosie is a great companion. Leslie and I love her. BTW that is not a Pine Tree License. It is a fire hydrant license.

Smile Siren's first trip to Winni

This was Siren's first vacation and first trip up to the lake. We took him out on the boat for one ride, which he loved, but where he's only 5 months old and my son is not quite 6 it became chaos in a small area, so it was just a short trip to Channel Marine for gas, where the nice atttendent gave Siren a bunch of treats. From that day on everytime he'd want to walk down the dock to the boat in search of more treats

What a beautiful dog. I can tell that Siren is enjoying the lake as much as we all do.

Default Loves the lake, not the water

Sadie is our 7 yr old lab/shepherd mix. She loves going up the lake, staying at the cabin, going out in the boat, but will not go in the water except up to her knees to drink. Have tried over and over but no amount of coaxing will work. She was a year when we adopted her; might have been different if we'd gotten her as a pup. But I wouldn't change a thing!

Hi cillovely, yes it is. We've been staying there the past few summers, this year for 2 weeks. For us and Sadie, it's just great. It's just below the new Woodlands Tavern on Smithpoint Rd/Railroad Ave. Just a super location!
