Hello, Our family of 4 will be growing to include a Labrador in a few weeks time. This will be our first puppy and we are very excited. I used forums to help with my two boys so I looked for help with the puppy and found you! I am a stay at home mummy (well, I work 7 hours a week) so will have plenty of time for puppy and forums asking advice! At the moment I am doing lots of reading and trying to work out what we need and what we don't need. Jade805
Re: Hello Hi Jade, My family are also first time puppy owners. This site has been a great help. Welcome!
Re: Hello Hi Jade! This is a great forum. You realise we need lots of pics of your new arrival! Jacqui (& Lilly black lab, 3 in May)
Re: Hello Hi there and welcome! How old are your two boys? Looking forward to seeing photos of your new addition - Karen and Poppy (soon to be one year old!).
Re: Hello Welcome to the forum. We are are family of 6 and the extras are Hattie 5 1/2 and Charlie 2 years old. Have fun. Helen x
Re: Hello hello, welcome from me too, and my two, Cuillin (eighteen months ) and Brodick (one last week). Exciting about the puppy...I'm a first time dog owner (so decided to get two!)...
Re: Hello Hello, thank you for your welcomes. My boys are 4 1/2 and 7. The youngest just started school in September so I have had "empty nest syndrome" since then. We are going to call puppy, Amy. (the first name that came to my 7 years old mind). My husband is already saying we should have got two for the company but I am happy with 1 to begin with! Jade805
Re: Hello You are wise ;D There are all sorts of problems with raising two puppies that many people are n't aware of. Reputable breeders won't sell two together. Love the name Amy. Very feminine. Pippa
Re: Hello Hello and welcome from me too. love the name Amy Very sensible to stick to one puppy , I`ve had two together many years ago , very hard work indeed ! I have a 20 month old Lab Sam and a seven month old rescue Jack Russell Terrorist , just enough of an age gap to make it managable
Re: Hello Thank you. I have been puppy proofing today and her bedding arrived today too. Exciting times!
Re: Hello Ha Ha Kate! You do realise that Jade would be excused for thinking you have two dogs, one named Sam, one named Terrorist! Unique, but not impossible ;D Jac
