Helloooo everyone 
I am sitting here typing next to a mahoosive crate with my beautiful new boy curled up in his bed at one end.
We picked him up yesterday and he is just gorgeous.
No-one has a clue about his mix, as he was dumped at just one day old, possibly less. He's very delicately boned with quite small neat paws, has a soft/rough coated and it turns out his colour is blue/fawn with grey eyes (which doesn't photograph very clearly). He has two white front socks and white toes to the rear, plus a white snout and stripe and half his tail is white. He also has a dark stripe down the middle of his tail and across his nose. (Photos will be forthcoming, but are all on dh's mobile at the moment and he's out today.)
I was under the impression he had grown really quickly and was expected to be quite big and as a result bought a really big crate. Turns out he's just a slip of a thing, but as they'd never fostered lurchers before he seemed really big with his lanky legs and the photos we saw were very deceptive regarding his size. So we have a crate divider in place and he's happily snuggling up one end. Dh is relieved, as he was adamant we wanted this dog to be smaller than Lurcherboy.
So far so good, he woke at 2.00 and 6.00 for a wee, then finally at 8.30 for breakfast. Other than that there were a couple of squeaks here at there, that were quickly resolved when he realised I was on the sofa nearby. Since then we've done a minute or so with the door shut here and there and the only yowling we've had was when I thought he was asleep and left him to make the dc's lunch.
Also doing ok with toiletting. All but one wee have been on puppy pads and he's decided the puppy pad in the back porch is the place to go, which is fantastic, as it's what Lurcherboy did and was really easy to transition training from the pad to outside from there. He's even managed two wees outside today, so it's looking good.
He's currently underweight, as they've struggled to get him to put on weight - I think partly as he was surrogated in quite a big bolshy litter and isn't pushy himself, but we'll soon get that sorted with some super nourishing food. He certainly eats well, so no appetite problems and is full of beans with a shiny coat and bright eyes, so no obvious health problems either. I think he just needs good old fattening up.
Lurcherboy was not at all impressed when we brought him home and decided to do the "What puppy? I can't see a puppy?" thing. He has improved today though, when he realised pup would be a great pal to play with in the garden. Unfortunately, every time Lurcherboy gets all playful and excited, playbowing and running around, pup screams as if he's being murdered and legs it back inside. 
Shouldn't laugh.
I am completely knackered. Yesterday was a very long day, followed by interrupted sleep, so we're having a quiet weekend, before starting to get out and about and get to grips with socialisation etc. He's 10 weeks now, so we need to make up for lost time, as he was in a lovely, but very quiet foster home.
Right, I need to go back and read what I've missed of the thread now. Hoping I can take it all in as am so tired I'm practically cross eyed at the moment.
