Life just isn't the same without the Edster, but we adopted an old collie boy a short while ago, and Willow perked up a bit with his arrival. He's had a liver problem and 3 tumours, benign thankfully. But he's ok now, and happy, and such a nice lad 
) But he's not a whippy :blink:
Anyway, SOL was sent this piccy of an oldie who had arrived at a 'rescue' via a Welsh dog pound. The rescue took one look at her and decided she'd be better off put down! However, their vet disagreed, and thankfully they went with his recommendation and agreed for him to remove most of her back teeth, which were rotten and green and oozing. The poor girl must have felt so ill with them in her mouth, and she was very thin, and scabby too from a flea allergy.
Our lovely supporter wanted to buy her out if someone could take her, and well, I showed Dave her photo, and as she wasn't too far from where he worked we decided we'd have her. So bank holiday Saturday was spent in a car park laughingly referred to as a main road and motorway, driving to fetch wee Holly!
This was the pic we were initially sent
And a few days on, this is her now
Posing with Willow
and roaching with dad!
She's still very scabby and scurfy along her back, and despite a bath she smells again. But her mouth is healing, she's eating well and bouncing for a walk, and she's generally a little poppet! :wub:
And I don't think she's pure whippet, but I thought she was whippy enough to post her in here, to show all those lovely people who were such fans of little Edward, and were so kind in sending condolences when we lost him back in February. :flowers: We still miss his huge personality, but I'm sure he'd approve of our new girl :thumbsup:
And here's a pic of all 3 of the furry family, being fed by their gran!
