| | | Hello World
I've just found the site - by following links from other sites - and I had to sign up straight away!
I'm based just north of Bristol and work all across the south west in the IT industry.
I don't spend as much time as I'd like to watching and photographing our native wildlife, but I am hoping to change that a bit this year!
'Blackdog' comes from the fact that the local dog walkers know me as the bloke with the black dogs. I have two beautiful Black Labradors who follow me everywhere around the house. |

Hi Blackdog,
Still don't have enough time in a day and we are retired. 
We know what you mean about dog walkers, we always call people by their dogs breed or name until we get to know them, we have also been called the spaniel couple.
Any way enjoy the site and a warm welcome to WAB.
Carol.

Hello there Warren and lovely labradors,
Wishing you a warm welcome to the site and I'm sure you'll spend lots of happy hours here.
Glad to see we have an IT expert in our midst (I surely need one of those!... I am pretty useless at anything more than browsing!)
Anyway its a woof woof to you dogs and a Miaow from my little old cat (he wanted to say hi..didn't want to be left out apparently!)
Have fun |

Stroud is good! Yate is unfortunately begining to resemble a proverbial 'Chav town' - you know the sort of thing; Boy(and Girl) racers all over the place, crowds of drunken teenagers hanging around all over the place who wouldn't know good manners if they jumped up and bit them!
Oh dear, I think I'm turning into my Grandad  |

That sounds about right
A mate of mine has two boxers and a Lab/Golden Retriever cross a 'Glabrador' as he calls him.
The younger of the two boxers ate my sunglasses the last time I was there
