Porky the Fisher Dog

Porky (the Yorkie) has a very strong personality for a dog.  She has many favorites (Kristi’s lap, hogging food, beating up other dogs twice her size) and is always bossing Blake around, telling him (via Kristi) to do things like, “Take me for a walk!” or “I want you to get Kristi some ice cream and a diet coke!”  Well, this weekend, Porky (the Yorkie) let us in on another one of her favorites – fishing.  Apparently, Porky was meant to be a fisher dog.  SHE FREAKING LOVES TO FISH!  Now, she might be small (8 pounds) but seriously, she could put any lab to shame in the tough doggie competition (I am pretty sure they have one of those).  This is Porky when you have a fish on your hook (ignore the size of the fish Blake and I (although not really) were catching) -

Porky's thought, "Let me at that fish!! I"ll show it!! I will eat it and eat it and then eat it some more!! Let. me. have. it!!!"

You might be lead to think, by the above picture, that Chopper also wanted a piece of that fish.  That’s would be not true at all.  Chopper simply copies Porky, but if that fish had flopped his direction, MAYHEM WOULD HAVE ENSUED! (namely, he would have ran and hid and probably peed)

Now, Porky, being somewhat brilliant, decided that she did not like it ONE BIT whenever we threw small fish back.  In fact, she hated it so much, she decided that she could catch (with her tiny paws) any fish that we dared to toss back into the lake.  Here is what happens when your eight pound dog (with the personality of a 100 pound dog) decides to jump into the lake after a 6 inch perch, you decided was too small for eating -

Yes, we had to fish Porky out of the lake using a fishing net. And no, I did not help. I ran to get my camera.

I don’t think I have ever laughed this hard.
