G'day folks.

My name is Peter. I live in Sydney. I love dogs, especially labrador retrievers.
I'm posting this to introduce you to my two faithful companions. Nessa (LHS)and Simba (RHS). They can be seen jointly retrieving a tennis ball in a stocking.

Maybe I'll post more when I have some additional inspiration.

regards
Peter Badcock

Peter: welcome to APUG from the wetlands of Maryland Eastern Shore U.S. One of my gods is Guinness, a black lady lab. The other is a Shetland, very old and feeble now but still going.

Before I forget, dr. Bob's reply reminds me of joke...

Q. Did you hear the one about the dyslexic, atheistic, insomniac?

A. He lay awake all night wondering if there really is a dog !

Thanks everybody (Suzanne, Nicole, Graeme, Mike, dr bob, Roy, George, David and Nige) for their warm welcomes.

You heard about the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac who stayed up all night doubting that there was a dog.

Dr Bob,
I hope your typo wasn't a Freudian slip!

That was no typo! If you live with my gods long enough, you would appreciate their "descriptions"

Another Sydney-sider huh?

Hi Peter, welcome from yet another Australian APUG junkie... Good to see the Sydney numbers are slowly creeping up, I don't feel so overwhelmed by those Melbourne folks now

No dogs, just two boys under 6 to keep me hopping...

G'day Glenn,
I had noticed there seemed to be a tad more Melbournians. I s'pose with three Vanbar stores open in Melbourne, they must service plenty of customers.

regards
Peter

15 in dog years or human years? She's either rather young or very mature !

Do I have cameras.... maybe I'm missing something here, 'cause you laughed and I didn't get it. (were you expecting my Avatar to be a couple of cameras?!). I own a Nikon 801s (N8008s in the US).

regards
Peter

She's 15 in dog year... really showing her age, I'm afraid.

No... I laughed cause it's a photography forum & your intro was about your dogs! Most people tend to say.. "I own 13,000 cameras, and do mysterious printing techniques... blah blah blah" (sort of 'blinding me with science') I liked your intro better...MUCH better!

So, good to have you aboard, Peter!
