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 later became my online username.
