I'm not sure if I'm the only one who winds up in these situations that would qualify me for a reality show.
 
 A few days ago I decided to load up our two person  Kayak and head to a local lake for a nice mini excursion with my wife. We arrived at the lake and were putting in when a one legged woman with a few kids hopped up to us and asked us if our boat would carry a "small" dog. Apparently her boyfriend was on the other side of the lake and  their dog had become winded and unable to make it back. The boyfriend was on the other side of the lake waving at us. My wife thought it might have been some kind of a setup.
 
 I said we could only carry a small dog on our kayak and we paddled over to her boyfriend on the other side who said the dog was "just around the corner". In this case "just around the corner" was all the way around the other side of the lake. When we finally arrived I discovered that the dog was a 125 pound Rottweiler. When I beached the boat and headed to the dog I could see from a distance that this dog was gone. His legs were sticking straight up and there were flies gathering. The dog was only 5 years old, so it either had a bad heart or was bitten by a snake?? At any rate the poor pooch was dead:(
 
 We carried the dog over to my boat and I decided to take the boyfriend and the dog over and come back for my wife who would wait safely on the shore until I returned. So my wife has pics of me in front paddling with a stiff Rottweiler across the middle and the boyfriend in the second seat with his legs over the dog.
 
 It was an interesting trip back to the dock with the dog and greeting the other boaters along the way. " Hey there how ya doin ?" They looked a little longer than usual.... I did feel bad for the loss of the animal.
 
 I was glad to help out. As I understood it later the Rottweiler was part of a custody deal. I didn't know the courts included  dogs in the visitation agreement. I would hate to be the one explaining what happened to the other party who normally kept the animal. 
 
 So I got quite a work out a few days ago. Paddled the lake a total of  4 times once by myself and once with a large dog on the boat which only has a 450 lbs weight limit.
 
 I'm not sure what happened after that but we loaded the dog and they went away with it. 

So, you left your wife alone on an island with deadly snake... 
 
Do you have Wi-Fi in your dog house, too?

You making this up? 
 
I'll bet that ride back with the dog, legs sticking up and flies buzzing was lots of fun when the wind hit you just right.... 

Humming the Dr. Demento favorite, "Dead Puppies" is inappropriate, isn't it?
 
Just making sure...

Dog gone..., what a weekend.

poor pooch. 

You had me at one-legged woman.

 Really happened...honest. I made sure my wife was standing in a safe place when I left her ;)
 
 My wife insisted that she not be left alone with the stranger. I would never do that anyway...and I knew she would be less than thrilled to ride back with a dead dog in her lap. She probably waited over an hour for me to get back.
 
 Herb, the dog wasn't dead long enough for the flies to be very bad. I was very glad to be in the fore section instead of the aft though ;P
 
 Craig, I was curious how a  young woman could have lost a leg...one of those things best left unanswered or asked I guess.
 
 UB, I don't know that song but it seems like it could have been appropriate;)

If so, it will be the first time.

A woman with a missing leg.
A dead Rottweiler.
 
 
 
 
 
I'm guessing it was poisoned...
