Barney Gilbert

Age: 12 years
Word that best describes Barney Gilbert : Happy

Owners description:

24/7 waggy tail (even in sleep). Always cheeky, even now he has slowed down a lot with age. He steals laundry and is very clever and happy about it. He is extremely obedient though, this is just his joke. He is always ready for a walk, although these days he gets tired really quickly. This we believe he finds embarrassing 😳 He sleeps most of the time in Dad's office, still participating in lectures and meetings. Wherever he finds water, he swims. This is his passion. Life long. Retrieving from water. Unfortunately water quality has not been constant where we live and has restricted this activity. He has touched so many lives over his time with us that we've lost count. He is not just a family member but known as Big B to the wider community, sometimes people we haven't met! We are so lucky to still have him with us, going as strong as a nearly 12 year old Lab can! Thank you for this study, we appreciate it!
