come and see my new puppy! ridiculously excited.

[jooseyfruit]

getting him tomorrow.
There's a picture on my profile.

I cannot wait to give him a hhyyyooooge hug

dropping in to say hello as I think I may be hanging about the doghouse quite a bit in the weeks to come

Off out to buy everything for him tomorrow morning, as he was a very sudden rescue, needing a home.

Oh! He is very cute indeedy. Enjoy, enjoy, and keep us posted....

Very cute - what breed is he?

Very cute

he's a blue brindle lurcher. not sure what sort of cross he is but apparently he is going to be massive, he does have huge feet.

i can't stop doing this

Ow wow!

He's beyond cute and beyond beautiful too. If I pm you my address will you bring him to me please, cos I'm so smitten. :o

And well done you for rescuing him, bless ya! :)

oh thanks Vall!.

but you can bugger orf, he's all mine

i want him, he is like my boy but in small! he is also a blue brindle lurcher. He is the best dog i have had and i am so glad we rescued him a year ago. I haven't got a picture on profile of him yet but i have of my equally lovely curly coated retriever (who was so small but is now 48KG)

awww

Always good to see a dog getting a loving home.

I am so jealous!!

He is adorable..we all want another dog preferably grey/lurcher but I am working a bit too much to have a new dog atm.

Enjoy your lovely dog,what is he called?

ooh your curly coated retriever is extremely handsome morethan

He's called Tyger at the moment, not terribly keen on it but will see what he's like, maybe we can adapt it to Tigger which is a bit less naff. Dh wants to call him Nobby

He's been rescued already through lurcher link, but it broke down sadly, because other dog in the house wasn't happy with him .
Spoke to owners and they seem very philosophical about it and just want the best for him.

I have on my list thus far
-bedding
-crate
-lurcher collar
-lead
-bowls
-food (want to try barf diet but don't know enough yet)
-toys
-toys
-toys

am I missing anything?
should I omit anything?

OMG he is beyond gorgeous, I'm not sure you can use nappies on him though.....

those bloody nappies have been the bane of my life. just recently sold them so will remove from profile pics asap

oh and wherethewildthingswere, aaahhhh at your new baby! bitch or dog?

He is luscious! I want to come and steal him!!No, seriously he is lovely and you will have a wonderful time with him, and those enormous feet, and that lovely, lovely long schnozzle. God, I love greyhounds and lurchers. Sigh.

jooseyfruit Dog, bit older now, just turned 16 weeks (he was 10 weeks in the piccys).

Lovely sighthound puppy collars from here

Pretty collar addiction, no siree not me.

oh my goodness, they are amazing. maybe a christmas present for him!

Oooh, just say the word and I can link you to some very baaaaad collar/coat/bed sites.

Mine has 6 collars (4 don't even fit him yet).

WTWTW, Oho, another one with a sighthound collar addiction!! I get ours from the USA - love Two Hounds Designs and Around the Hounds - absolutely gorgeous. Confession - ours have special collars for Christmas.

you're terrible, the pair of you!

show me the baaad coats etc you temptress.

my lad wears one of these int the rain/cold and he wears it as PJ's in the winter .

Congratulations he is GORGEOUS! :)

Oooh I have two from 2hounds they are so well made, but I have never heard of Around the Hounds.

K9 Closet Smoothies

Equafleece

Citycroft

Finally

Collars R Us for collars, coats and beds.

Just some of off the top of my head......

Oh he is gorgeous! I love lurchers - got a funny-looking blue merle longhaired boy for whom our best guess is bedlington/whippet/ border collie. Sweetest dog in the world.

Collars... :o

lol wherethe that's an impressive list. love the martingale collars being described as 'sassy' on 2hounds!

I am going to have so much fun.

thank you gingerkirsty

More than - love the description of the "hectic" greyhound - somnolent would be better, or something using the word torpor....

As I recall correctly, WTWTW, your whippy boy is actually a ninja whippy with a licence to kill, so of course we all know that James Bond was noted for his elegant suits, powerful cars and special drinks - Agent Whippy is merely following in this long tradition of bespoke espionage.... elegant collars, coats and accessories are the equivalent of a fine paire of cufflinks....

Whistles innocently, in a hopeful sort of way...
