Two black labs
Hi, my name is Jackie Smart and I am hoping to get a dog from Lab rescue. I have just started seriously looking. I lost my two black labs either side of Christmas 2015. Because I knew I was moving I waited until I had moved. A year or so down the line I am settled in and all big jobs done. My two labs were both rescue dogs and were very successful. Hoping to repeat the success.

Re: Two black labs
Hello Jackie and welcome to this friendly Forum. I'm sorry to hear that you lost your two labs closely together but am pleased that you now feel ready to adopt a new friend. Glenys always has gorgeous dogs coming into the Rescue, I assume you have completed all the application forms etc, if so it's just a matter of being patient until the right dog for you comes along.
We adopted George aged 10 months from this Rescue 7 years ago and it was the best thing we've done. Good luck with your search and please let us know how things are going.

Hi Jackie and welcome,
How sad to lose your babies so close together. Unfortunately most of us here understand how hard it is. Have you completed an application form yet? If not, that's the first step to finding your next best friend (s)
Good luck and let us know how you get on. We love pictures too so please feel free to share!

Re: Two black labs
Thank you to the lovely ladies and their doggie friends for replying with such sympathy. I have filled in the relevant forms. Just waiting now.
I could put a photo on of my two boys but I have no idea how to do that or where to do it! Also what is a senior member?

Plus you are a new member the more you post you will become junior then senior member so it's all about the amount of posts you submit ( I think)
Good luck in finding your new fur-baby

Re: Two black labs
Hi Jackie and a warm welcome to the forum. So sorry for your loss, most of us on here know how that feels.
The team are excellent at matching furbabies with new furever homes. I'm glad you now feel the time is right to fill that very large gap in your heart. I'm sure your two furbabies that you had to say goodbye to will be pleased that your are ready to fill that large gap.
Can't wait to see piccys if you ever get the hang of photobucket.......it's not easy, but, worth the effort.

Re: Two black labs
Hello Lins,
I had a look at how to place photos after Coco gave me the route in. I am in school this morning teaching children who have literacy needs. This afternoon it will be a cup of tea, sit down and patiently go through the process. As you say it does not look easy. Hopefully by this evening there will be a pic of my two guys for you to look at.
Thank you so much for your encouragement.

Re: Two black labs
Hi and welcome Jackie,
so sorry that you have said goodbye to Bud and Sam, I remember when I lost Zak and Kobe just seven weeks apart how devastated I was, it was so hard.....
I hope your pictures and special memories will bring you some comfort and that you will in time be able to smile at their antics.
Its good to hear that you feel able to share your heart and home with another dog in need, that's the legacy your lovely boys have left.
Thinking of you

Re: Two black labs
hello Des,
Thank you for your kind response. our dogs are missed anyway but two within seven weeks must have been awful.
I have wonderful memories of Sam and Bud, especially Bud who helped Sam cope and enjoy the life we gave him.

Re: Two black labs
Hi Jackie,
Just catching up! A warm welcome from me too
It must have been awful to lose your pals so close together. You've come to the right place for support, that's for sure. It's a great little community here, and most of us (probably all) have been through the trauma of losing their beloved furry friends.
It's nice to know that you're ready for another. Glenys, Carol and Gina are great at what they do in terms of matching up the dogs and new 'parents'! Hopefully it won't be too long before you are matched!
Agree that the task of putting photos on here is fiddly - but once you've got the hang of it, you'll be fine.
