Why Isladogs? (pronounced Eye-la-dogs)
Isla was my beloved labrador dog shown in the photo. When we got her in 2011, Isla was a fairly unusual name in the UK. I was asked if the name came from the Isle of Dogs which is an area of London next to the Thames. The name Isladogs stuck and became my online username.
