Hello!
:D Well after being a member now for a day or so i thought i'd introduce 'us'! I'm patricia and i'm a mum to two children 7 and 9, a wife to cliffy and an adopted 'mum' to Tia (formerly Suzie)! We've had her for 4 weeks and she seems to be settled in her new home. She's a very bright labX and is a joy to have. I would have posted a piccie but im not terribly 'technically minded' and all my attempts have failed! :?

Hello and welcome to our lovely friendly site. Love Sue x

Hello there....I like your user name :lol: :lol: Is that dog tired because Tia and your children are keeping you busy :lol: :lol: Welcome to our forum....do give the pics another go, we ldo ike to see photos. If you get really stuck I am sure someone here will help you out 8)

Thanks for the welcome! Lilylab i'm not sure if it's my 2 kids or the classfull i work with that wear me out! :wink: As for the photo's any help would be great, I tried to cut and paste to no avail :? :(

Delighted to hear Tia is doing well. I'm guessing she's enjoying being an 'only' dog - or perhaps she just didn't like being Suzie!

Hello,if you down load your photo to photobucket the copy and paste the link on your page here-that should work.

Well here goes nothing! http://s207.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/pat249/?action=view&current=3Tia220407.jpg http://s207.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/pat249/?action=view&current=Tia22407.jpg These should be images of Tia! In answer to your comment frump, it was explained to us that she had a few problems so we were expecting the worst( but prepared, my much missed old dog had huge problems after the death of her litter mate. But with the help of a behavourist from southampton uni we helped her through them, and believed we could use what we allready knew to help Tia. ) However apart from snaffling a box of 12 eggs from the side in the kitchen( not a pleasant atmosphere :shock: in our house that pm!) we have had little disruption. I wonder if sometimes a complete change is good, as the dog has to totally relearn what is expected in the new house. That last comment is just a thought and in no way meant to offend anyone by the way I don't want to loose my new friends before i've made them :) !

She's lovely - she looks very, very sharp indeed!

What a beautiful girl she is. Welcome to the site.

Ah bless...I just love the ears :lol: She looks like butter (or eggs :shock: ) wouldnt melt in her mouth

She is beautiful. Sue x

She's lovely,how old do you think she is?

Hello and Welcome - Tia is truly beautiful! It is very well recommended you change your dog's name from what I have read - it takes away any negativity associated with the previous name. Willow was previously named Wendy but we think it was just given to her in the Rescue Centre - she never answered to it anyway so whilst there is nothing wrong with the name Wendy - we prefer less human names! (Willow is named after a toy cottage name I found in the Argos catalogue!)

My friends Mum has a rescue dog,his name got changed when they got him.3years later a visting relative called him by his old name and he retreated in to a corner shaking :(

Hello again, well lrrse believe she's about 18mnths, she came over from ireland @ about 6mnths. Erm bit of a confession about the name... first we had a couple of lab/collie littermates called Whiskey and Soda, then we aquired an unwanted cat who we called Malibu ( or Boo, to us) sadly they are all gone now :cry: . We now have 2 gerbils Gin and Tonic and of course Tia( know that well known liquer?) I think you can probably see the pattern........I still think its a rather pretty name though, it's origins will be our little secret eh?
