Re: My first labrador Hi Mark, welcome from me Helen, Hattie almost 6 yrs and Charlie 2 1/2 years. Good luck with the pup Enjoy yourself on the forum. Helen x
Re: My first labrador Ah, Paige - lovely pic! I felt overwhelmed on day 2 - and I grew up with dogs! Just my mum knew what to do, and was super confident. It's very different when you are on your own, realise there are no instructions, you have no bond with the new pup, s/he is scared, wees everywhere, and seems SO fragile... but it gets wonderful very quickly!
Re: My first labrador I completely agree Julie! I'm learning to relax around Dexter now. At first I was like his shadow :-\ Now he's going outside to toilet (Woo!) and obeying certain commands (no, down, etc) we wouldn't change a thing. Can't believe we didn't get him sooner ;D
Re: My first labrador Hi Mark. Welcome to the forum! Exciting for you ;D . Hope you don't worry too much and just enjoy your undoubtedly gorgeous puppy! Good luck From me and Lilly - 3 year old black lab girl
Re: My first labrador I'm a newbie too! We got Cosmo 2 weeks ago so he's now 10 weeks old. Proper puppy, part devil part angel! He's a beauty snd i'm sure your little one will be too
Re: My first labrador How exciting to be getting your first puppy!!! Can't wait to see pics Welcome to the forum from me and Obi. Paige, another gorgeous photo of your boy - I just love his face
Re: My first labrador welcome from me and my two, fox red Cuillin, 2 in 2 weeks (crikey how did she get to be two) , and black lad Brodick 18 months...
Re: My first labrador Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words, great to be set up on here and to share things with you. I've been to see the litter and am pleased to say that I've put the depotsit down and will be picking Monty up in 4 weeks! ...now it's time for the family to get everything ready!!! I'm trying to upload a photo of him on here (trust me I took loads!), but I'm struggling to. Could anyone give some advise on how to do this?? Thanks Mark
Re: My first labrador Thats great news Mark! I bet you're all excited. It will feel so far away until you bring him home but it will soon be here. To upload photo's I use Photo Bucket. I think some people use Flickr. When I've uploaded to Photo Bucket, there are usually codes on the right hand side of the photograph (HTML, URL, etc.) I use the URL link and copy and paste it into my post on here If you want to be sure it's worked, I preview my forum post before hand just to see if it shows up Hope that makes sense
Re: My first labrador How exciting! I use flickr - upload the photo to flickr, then there are instructions posted by pippa in technical help. Or you can just copy and paste in the address in the browser bar from the flickr page. I think there are lots of other ways too.
Re: My first labrador Ok, I'll have to set up a Flickr account. In the mean time, I have changed my profile image so you can see him there (sorry it's very small). I'll get on it and come back with some success hopefully!
Re: My first labrador Thanks! ...very proud of him! We had the choice of two. He seemed perfectly happy with us, didn't hear a peep out of him (unlike his brother). He's looking like he'll have the same temprament as his mum (who was really nice, placid) so fingers crossed!
Re: My first labrador Thanks Julie! Got a shopping list as long as my arm, can't wait to get started!
Re: My first labrador Oh! How beautiful!! *but we will call him handsome when he's a bit older, don't worry * Think we all suffer from "Puppy-swoon disease"
Re: My first labrador Oh, dear. This is not helping me stay away from puppy conversations here at home!! He is perfect.
Re: My first labrador Oops, sorry! Haha although if this leads to you getting a new dog then fantastic! This month is going to drag!!!
