    or 'Master' Bowie as we call him! I'm a designer, writer and 'first-time' owner of (almost) 2 year old male labrador, who still acts like a puppy and a brat sometimes, but we love him to death! :inlove:

    Bowie is my first 'proper' pet - other than a family goldfish, bird and an inherited goat - so it's a completely new experience for me!! I look forward to connecting with like-minded labrador owners/lovers out there and hopefully be able to share stories.

    Welcome to the forum from me and my three Labs, one of each colour :)

    You have a goat?! Awesome! I love goats! When I grow up I want a goat :inlove:

    PS I’m nearly 40, just not quite “grown up” yet ;)

    Hi Fiona, Willow, Shadow and Luna,

    Thanks for the welcome message! 40 is the new 20 nowadays! ;-)

    Unfortunately our goat (called Ren from 'The Ren & Stimpy Show') passed away a few years ago. She was pretty old when we had her - back story: when we purchased our property, she and the ride-on lawn mower came with the property :) She was fretting at first but then she was warming up to us and became our little family. She was such a gentle and beautiful creature and we missed her dearly. I wish Bowie could meet her!

    Anyway love your blog!! especially the story on how you got into having Labradors in the first place. Kinna reminded me when we got Bowie!!

    Hope to stay in touch!

    Riesa and Bowie

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

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

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

    Thanks for the welcome message!! Love Tatze's pic lying on his back (and grinning!!) - like Bowie does when we scratch his tummy!! ;)
    How's your experience having Guide Dog puppies? I was thinking to foster one too but don't think I can bear parting with him/her when the times come!! I bet it's rewarding though!!

    Yes, parting with them is totally heartbreaking and it gets harder with each pup. But, all the same, it’s the best ‘job’ in the world!

    It’s very addictive!

    Welcome from chilly England. Loved the sound of your goat, you must miss her very much.

    We do! I think that's partly why we decided to have Bowie :) It's amazing how animals/pets change one's life :)

    Living without an animal is like being in a desert.
