Hello all, just joined today after finally getting time to play on pc for myself! I live with my family of one husband, 3 children, 2 cats and my adored black lab, Muggles
Muggles has lived with us for 6 years, he's a rescue who was 14 months when we found each other and very nervous, especially of men.
He's had a bit of a rough start but his sweet gentle nature has shone through and he's settled well. I find him a bit small and delicate, his predecessor was a chunky tall white lab/retriever who closely resembled a pyranean dog
I am lost without a dog, I was only 3 weeks between my old friend passing and Mugs coming but it was the longest and darkest 3 weeks!
I married on the condition I could have a dog, happily husband was just as keen to have a hound!
Mugs seems to suffer with food intolerances, not surprising really, so do most of my family! His symptoms are itchy skin with dandruff, vomiting after a meal, and bald patches, but I'll post about that on the health section
I look forward to 'meeting' you!

Thanks for the welcomes, what GORGEOUS photos! I wish I could have seen Muggles as a puppy! Our eldest daughter named him, she was heavily in Harry Potter at the time! I think she was disappointed we didn't get another golden retriever like our first dog, but after Fidget, our second dog, I am truely a lab fan and it was my 40th birthday money that paid for him!
I think he's full of magic personally, he's helped pretty much heal the pain of parting with the other two. You never really fill the gap they leave do you?
I found the dog food online last night, thankfully the packaging hasn't changed and I recognised the picture on the sack....(dyslexic picture thinker, helps enormously at times)! It's Pero chicken and rice, but I notice they also do one specifically for labradors. Anyone tried it?
I know of a lovely e-card site, the artist uses her pets and friends to get her ideas from and there are some beautiful labrador cards. Some are free and some are subscription only. Can pass on the link if anyone wants it or can send it to admin if anyone wants to check it out, you probably already know about it already! Site is nothing to do with me, sister sent me a card for Yule one year and it made my day
