AIBU to be excited because..

[diddl]

We are getting a dog tomorrow!

Went to an animal shelter today & he is gorgeous.

4yrs old, medium size, grey, brown & black non-pedigree.

Bought a load of stuff on the way back.

Were supposed to pick him up Monday but can´t wait that long

Grr, second dog.

Ah! Diddl he is lovely.

I want one!!!

Awww, what beautiful eyes! He looks great, I'm jealous of you!

he is gorgeous, cant beleive they described him as unremarkable, bless his cottons

He's lovely Diddl

He's so cute.

He is a very cute wee thing isn't he?

I hope you are all very happy together.

"Did you have to have a home visit?"

Well, when my husband phoned yesterday they said that they like to check out where you live.

Although when we gave our address today they know where it is-in terms of house & garden size, so they seem to be willing to let us have him first.

hes like a little seal!

Emir is a fabulous name, it means 'prince' i think.

happy trails!

Ah, so now that daughter knows the meaning of the name she wants to keep it!

lovely girl!

lovely dog!

lovely story!

He looks like a good doggy :)

Diddle - I bet they said he was 'unremarkable' so that somemugone like you would take him

He's lovely. I'm sure those sad eyes will change pretty soon. I wish I could be there tomorrow when you pick him up!!

I'm glad you aren't changing his name.

As it was DH who rang them yesterday he seems to have 'come around' quite nicely!

He's not unremarkable, he's gorgeous :)

Aaaah...he's gorgeous! And not unremarkable at all. I think he looks very distinguished.

Don't worry about changing his name. Dogs adapt quickly to a new name. One of my dogs responds to his actual name (which is different to the name he had in his last home) plus 3 or 4 nicknames.

Ignore me....I see you're keeping his original name.

He's beautiful! How could he be called unremarkable!? Those eyes!

Aww makes me sad that this poor doggy was abandoned.
But yey for his new home!! I hope you have many, manny happy years with him :)

He looks really sweet.

"I bet they said he was 'unremarkable' so that somemugone like you would take him"

Probably

Compared to the others he was very quiet which tbh is what we want.

He´s still young enough to need lots of exercise, but hopefully not leaping at everyone & jumping into laps as soon as you sit down.

Oh he's so gorgeous! Congratulations on finding him (and him finding you!)!

I'm a sucker for stories like this!

Have you got him yet?

Hope it is all going well

He is lovely - hope he is settling in.

My DH was dead set against getting our dog (also rescue) but he has eyes like your one, and they fell in love INSTANTLY. Now the dog is 'his' dog, not mine!

He is one very lucky mutt to be getting you and yours for his new family!!! He is Beautiful and most certainly NOT unremarkable!

Well he´s home, fed & watered & walked.

Laying in his basket-spotted the cat & didn´t look interested.

Cat spotted him-"puffed up" & went upstairs in disgust.
