I know I'm always on your case, but this guy is a Labrador Retriever, hence the short waterproof coat and mouth made for carrying water fowl. He is very smart and why the world's best dog came to live with me I'll never know.

I will get a pick of the little guy after dinner. Meatloaf night ya know...

Wow, my mum will slap me, that I made this mistake, of course the short coated one is the Labrador....

Parents had one a few years back as well, he always put his head on my lap, whenever I visited them. Just sat there and put his head on it. Big eyes looking at me.

I am anxious to see the little guy!

Labbies are the best, I remember my friend got this pup home, I was the first to make her bark! Never forgot that moment, was sooooooo cute! Looks the same as yours BH10Y. Btw, is the little guy by any chance a Jack Russel?

Here's the wee lad. A westie. Love him to bits for his courage and devotion!

I would save: photos, wedding/engagment rings (if not on my finger) and my kids memoir books (a type of diary I started for them when they were born. I write in there every so often to tell them what they are like at this particular point in their lives).

Ya, I can understand that. I have my kid journals -- 5 or 6 of them now in a safe deposit box at a bank. I actaully did lose a lot in a fire once. Makes you really take a physical as well as moral inventory. It was devastating.

Boy do I know how you feel. I lost about 90% of all memorabilia during the flood on my farm by Hurricane Isabelle 2 years ago. Have photos now of primarily of the last two decades over here only. Am slowly committing them to CD's & online albums but scanning is a long slow process as I only have a 3200 dpi flatbed scanner (two strips at a time).

I'd probably just grab a special binder from the filing cabinet created just for that sort of thing. And just hope the safe is as fireproof as they said it was.

Bh10y, do you really have to carry ya big & small dog? I think they would be out of the fire when they know ya are safe not? I think animal has a natural instinct to survive

you could save your space to carry other things hehehehehe

I guess I would save my paintings

3 is not enough, can I put them all into a BIG carrier and consider them ONE? hahahahaha

Another would be my private journal and a BAG of books

Oh.. I forgot to say..you have really adorable dogs there..Bh10y!! And a golden retriever is actually the most gentle dog that would even take care of baby like their own...am sure a labrador is similar

We were living in the US at the time, for just a few months and all the negatives to all the photographs were in a different location. I had them all reprinted and put back in albums.

BH10Y is getting catty, methinks . . .

(although bulldogs are in my favourite top 2)

Three things:

My B&O Stereo
Photoalbums
The little bottle of Pierre Cardin After Shave my mother gave me before she died 15 years ago, and it is still half full

It's cute that you say 'half full'. There's hope for you yet Vaucluse. I think we must have the same stereo, it is magnificent.
