Drum Roll please......

.....and the winner is....well, I'll tell you in a minute first I have to apologise for being absent for so long.

I have a sordid confession to make. For some time now I have been using my precious internet time not to find out how FredBlog's house is doing or see what witty banter is going on between TWS and FC or keep you all updated on the impending move to Lewis. (Yes, it is still happening...I will be turning up with two Luton vans before April Fools Day, how appropriate!)

I have been lavishing my attentions on another, faster, better website with instant replies and thousands of threads updated immediately. It sooked me in...I didn't mean it. I realise the error of my ways...please forgive me and welcome me back into the comfy, but slow world of IB???

I suppose you want to know what site could lure me away, no not Facebook...

www.labrador-forums.co.uk

Aww the shame of it...sniff sniff.

Anyway, back in October I set a competiton to name our new puppy and I had lots of lovely replies and suggestions, and would like to say a big thank you to all who took the time to enter, but I am pleased to announce that the winner is:

da-da-da-da-da-da- daaaaaaaa - TWS!!!!

TWS came up with a lovely Gaelic name...so here he is....Cubair! (pronounced Coober)




(Ehhh, there was a promise of a prize...how is the book coming along Squidgy??)

Lovely dog, HEA, he will love it when you get to Lewis. Your first visitor will be Tws, looking for his prize! I would have something handy, just in case he turns nasty. Hope that all is going well.

Looks good enough to eat ...!!!

Congratulations to Tws!! Peedie Coober...awwww. (A cat can afford to be nice to a d.o.g. it will never meet)... I think Tws would quite like handcuffs...honest.

Flying Cat from opal mining


HEA, labs are tops, the Lewisian bard has found a grand name and Cubair him/herself is delightful ... but what is the poor animal having to wear?

Barney from Swithiod welcome the labdog


Cubair cannot be a her, I suppose.

Barney from Swithiod slow on the uptake


Were there a few missing letters in that 'bard'? As for what it is that the poor animal is having to wear...well it just goes to show how much cleverer cats are than d.o.g.s, because you wouldn't catch a kitty getting togged up like Santa!!

Flying Cat from a hard stare


Sorry, don't mind me, carry on with whatever it is that you're doing, oh maybe you can help me? I've lost a comment here, has anyone seen it? Did I post it on the wrong post? Will the comment ever be found? If we all shout together, are you ready, 3, 2, 1, COMMENT, again, COMMENT WHERE ARE YOU? Come OUT come OUT wherever you are the blogs up the pole. I'll go look elsewhere, I don't think it's here. If you see it though, you will let me know, won't you? Thank you very much, and I don't believe a word about what is said about you all, it's just rumours.....

Tws from The Croft Lewis


Just in case you never see it again, what was it?

Flying Cat from all agog


Cubair is a boy dog! We only made him wear his outfit for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...he took it off after Eastenders. TWS doesn't sound too well...maybe the promise of some handy handcuffs will cheer him up...I need to have a clear out anyway... Oh, TWS what rumours are you talking about? I hope my reputation doesn't preceed me as I feared? Or is it just my paranoia again??

Happily from I should be packing


Wrap your paranoia around you like a cloak, you may need it in here.

Flying Cat from often misunderstood but bearing up
