Cheers Jeff. He is certainly one for the ladies. There are times when he is cuddled up with Smudge and washing her that I tell them to 'get a room'.

Excuse the quality as these are just copies I took using my iPhone !

These are a few pictures of my Black Labrador Ebony who was with me till she was sixteen.







I was a lot younger then
It's the only photo I can find with us both together!



This is Minni, the cat that Ebony ( Bonnie ) grew up with

She's gorgeous Jeff

We've just lost our second lab last week, so difficult. 2 in less than a year - 1st one 13 and a half and second one Just turned 8.

Sorry to hear that Graham, it's not easy as our pets very much become part of the family.

Bonnie has been gone around 15 years but I still miss her loads.
My situation with work etc doesn't really mean I can have another dog but I'd like to think that in the future I will.......cat friendly one of course

Of Course

Never owned a cat, but love all animals tbh.

If we did (and its not something I'm thinking off right now, too raw) get another Dog, it would be a rescue Dog.

SWMBO Is a housewife, so there's always someone home

Yeah they're certainly part of the family, we don't have children, so Fur Babies are our equivalent.

Same for Ros and I, no kids just balls of fluff

Found another one of Bonnie and I in her favourite place...... typical Lab

Here's my Babies.

After a nice day at the Blue Lagoon.

Megan (The Youngest on the Left) and Lady (On the right).

What was difficult with Megan, was I took her the Vets a week or so ago, after she developed a bit of a limp and he commented on how healthy she was, and no hip dysplasia or anything.

Did Blood Tests, and then back for an X-ray. And he virtually said, we needed to have her put to sleep virtually immediately. I told him I had to take her home for a couple of days, to try and come to terms with it all.


They were both a Joy, neither of them one bit of bother.

And another when we first got Megan. She just automatically learned to Sit, and always if you got the camera out.

So sad Graham, may I ask what Megan had wrong with her?

She had a huge Tumour, pretty much from her spine to the bottom of her belly. Too large to be removed.

Couldn't be seen externally, that was the reason they needed a scan, and the reason her leg had went "lame".

She had shown no symptoms at all, didn't go off her food, or anything. Poor Beggar.

I asked, if there was any way that we could have known, and he said other than having regular scans, with no prompts, Not really.

This was last week.

So its been a right year of it all in all.

Looks like more surgery on the Wrist eminent too. So almost a year of physio, only to start again. And the cold is really giving me an idea of what the arthritis will have in store. At 35 years old too .
