Soon to be Lab Owner

Hi All

Just a quick hello and hopefully this forum will keep me busy with reading before we bring Woody home next Friday.

My partner and I have been looking for an older lab for the last 6 months, which feels like ages but needed to be the right decision and the right dog.

Woody is 3 years old and gorgeous. I just can wait for him to become part of the family.

Just hoping the cats do t throw a paddy now but will just take the intros slowly.

Looking forward to chatting to you all.

PS: I’m south east Uk

Hi and welcome to the forum

 

Welcome. I will be very interested in learning more about your older dog. Part of me is wondering whether I should have a second dog and if I did, it would be an older one.

 

Welcome to you from Mags, Tatze and Keir from Manchester UK

Tatze is my pet dog, a black Lab and she's five years old. Tatze means 'paw' in German.

Keir is my sixth Guide Dog puppy, a yellow Golden Retriever/Flatcoat cross and he's twelve months old.

 

Welcome from me, Hattie 10 years and our rescue boy Charlie 7 years. Hope you have a wonderful time with Woody xx

 

Welcome from Holly and me in Wales. I hope that everything goes smoothly with the introductions and look forward to hearing more about Woody.

 

Hi and welcome from me and 4 year old girl, Harley. Where are you getting Woody from?

 

Welcome to you and Woody from me, Wispa (6) and Tuppence (4), also in the SE.

 

Welcome from Maxx and I in Sydney, Australia. Please let us know how you get on

 

Hello and welcome to the forum from my two Fred(4) Annie (2) and me from Cheshire

 

Hello and welcome to you and Woody from little Joy (13 months old, small and very sweet black labrador) here in West Yorkshire) and me too of course. Looking forward to hearing more about you both.

 

Hi from me and Molly in East Sussex.

 

Welcome from me and Lilly in Scotland!
We had a Woody when we went to training - he was a right character
Hope all goes well

Ah thanks all. 3 more sleeps.

Will update you all once he is with us and have loads of questions to ask.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum from me and my crew!

 

1 more sleep not sure how I’m going to manager until tomorrow afternoon. Must be patient! X

 

Just try to remember your name and where you live I never remember both.

 

So Woody is Home.
Had a little bit of crying but he seems to be settling slowly. He’s starting to look at us when we say his name.
We have had sad eyes at times though

 

A late hello from me and Kipper (8 months old and full of joy) in Devon.
Sounds like you’re doing well helping Woody to settle in; all the best for a quiet night x

 

Well night 1 completed. Woody was great, a little whining when we went to bed and I could hear some shuffling around, even when I got up this morning no barking or anything. Just a big smile when I came down stairs.
We’ve been out and he was great. Getting the idea I won’t be pulled on the lead on the way to the park! It was empty so went to a little secluded area and had some small off lead time until I got scared he wouldn’t recall, no reason to think this he came back every time! So all good so far x
