You've just got to love the enthusiasm of this eager-beaver dog.At the beginning of "fetch this stick" he jumps in, swims out to the middle of the pond and retrieves one stick. Good boy, Rover! (His name has been changed
After a few fetches, Rover gets bored...HO-hum... and demands two sticks. He barks one short bark and looks expectantly. So his owner has to throw two sticks across the small pond. Otherwise the dog won't dive in.
THEN, Rover gets bored AGAIN and wants three sticks. Yep, actually waits till three sticks are tossed out across the water. Sometimes the owner throws two and pretends to throw the third. BUT Rover can count and waits for the third splash.
Here you can see three sticks in Rover's mouth. ;-) Good fetch, boy!

What a character. He would be proud to have this picture on the kennel wall.
That photograph should win an award of some kind. It is more than worthy. I also like the wet dog with his sticks.
I love this so much and the butterfly - just made my morning !!! sandy
What a lovely dog!!
Oh so funny. what a good dog. MB
Love black labs. I had a great one - but would you believe, he was afraid of water!
"Eager-beaver" is right! Rover looks like he thinks he's a beaver.
Great shot.
AAAH how cute last week we went for a drive and there were some labs chasing sticks in the water, i am always surprised just how far they can swim to fetch. Nice capture too
That is too cool! Bet he smelled good afterwards. LOL
Clever puppy!
I certainly couldn't swim to the middle of a pond and bring back three sticks in my mouth!
In fact, I think I'd have trouble with only one.
Good boy, Rover.
What a dog!
Gorgeous picture, too... great capture!
Have a great day!
Stop by Prairie Visions if you get time! :)
How sweet!
Saki is always trying to shove more than 1 of anything in her mouth! Great shot...
This is a terrific shot. I will admit on the portal it looked like a hippo with sticks so of course I had to investigate. Turns out its an overachieving lab that can count! That's even better.
Very cute dog. I looked at some of your other posts and you have such beautiful images. The butterfly is simply amazing.
What a clever dog! I know dogs can count - just try short-changing them with their biscuits!
Thanks for checking out my Sky Watch Friday shot. Your photos are awesome! I am surrounded by Labs in my famiy and love the wet look pic!
Gorgeous doggie!
