Got my sisters two labs staying for a few days while she does her Ironman extreme triathlon competition. Took a few photos of the mob. IMGP3074-1 finished.jpg by , on Flickr The next one is Brodick chilling in the sun IMGP3059-1.JPG by , on Flickr His big sis Tarka teaching him the proper technique for sunbathing in the garden IMGP3061-1.JPG by , on Flickr Finally from left to right Tarka, Brodick, Cuillin and Lochan. Dried sprat anyone? IMGP3067-1 fnished.jpg by , on Flickr
Re: Four labradors in the house! What a lovely photograph that top one is I was interested that they all seem to be looking in slightly different directions. Is Cuillin the most food orientated? ;D Though Brod's eyes are in the treats direction too I bet they are all having fun.

[/quote] In the top photo Cuillin and Brodick are staring hopefully at the white tub the sprats were in. Tarka is looking at the camera and Lochan, the greediest dog alive, has noticed a dropped piece of sprat and is desperately awaiting the release command! They all seem to be having fun. They are being remarkably good considering they range in age from 2.5 to 3.5. [quote author=JulieT link=topic=7379.msg102373#msg102373 date=1408287622] They are all lovely, but Lochan particularly so! [/quote] Thank you, I think so too. [/quote][quote author=bbrown link=topic=7379.msg102372#msg102372 date=1408287417] Beautiful! Definite family resemblance between Tarka and Brodick ;D [/quote] I've changed their collars over today just to mess with my elderly parents! They now have no idea which is which!
Re: Four labradors in the house! Beautiful photos Lochan, they are the most handsome and pretty dogs Do you walk all 4 together? x

My two are off lead but Brodick will chase deer if given the chance and would disappear into the next county. Cuillin stays on lead to keep Brodick company. My two caper about and show off about being off lead for a couple of hundred metres but then settle down and stop taunting them and all enjoy their walk. A couple of hours walk followed by half an hour hoolying in the garden and we don't hear a peep out of them for hours!
Re: Four labradors in the house! Charlie said can he please come and keep Brodick and Cuillin company?
Re: Four labradors in the house! Four labs fabulous. ;D All beautiful and yes Tarka and Brodick do look a like. I have to say though I am a little biased towards Lochan as he looks just like scout in the last picture. You've got your hands full Lochan. Hope Debsie does well. ;D Now if I had the choice an ironman or four Labradors I know which I'd pick then again my sisters like yours she'd be doing the ironman. ;D
Re: Four labradors in the house! Hear hear Jen.....I'd rather walk the 4 dogs than do the triathlon any day!Mind you,I bet there are times when it will feel like an ironman challenge with the 4 of them! You sound wonderfully organised and chilled about it,thanks for the photos ,lovely to see them,a bit like Helen we don't see a lot of yours and Debsie's gang ;D Good luck to your sis for the challenge,let us know how she does x
Re: Four labradors in the house! Well, heard some news about the ironman. A severe storm struck just as they were in the open water swim and decimated the field. One of my sisters friends had to be rescued by boat and ended up in the medical tent with hypothermia, another exited the water green and vomiting. The bike ride was tricky due to the high winds. However, I've just had a text from Debs saying her run time was only 10 minutes longer than when she was at her peak of fitness and training in pre-labrador days so that's good. I'm definitely happier with the dogs......
Re: Four labradors in the house! Tell Debsie from me I hope she stays safe and does well such an amazing thing to do . Hope her friend is OK. Dogs here too, although I have been known to break into a swift trot!! ;D x
Re: Four labradors in the house! Lovely pics! Sounds like Debs did well despite the weather conditions - yikes!
Re: Four labradors in the house! Glad Debsie is ok and considering the conditions she did very well. ;D Whereabouts was the ironman ? My sister is thinking of doing an ironman. She has just done ordinary triathlons upto now : oh and the London marathon twice : I still question if we are relly related but my mother is adamant we are.
