Thanks for all the advice people gave a while back when we were making decisions about getting a dog. Yesterday we picked up our new dog from greyhound rescue, and he's beautiful!

His name is Skipper, he's blue and white, and will be 6 in July. He was in a foster home for a few weeks so is house-trained but needs a bit of socializing as he's not convinced by other dogs yet, but we're making progress!

I've tried to attach a photo, hope it works..

What a lovely boy, best of luck with him :cheers: :luck:
 
Well done and good luck with Skipper he looks lovely, :wub: :wub: it hasn't taken long for him to find his spot on the sofa o:)
 
Thanks all - made my day when he curled up last night with his head actually on my lap and went to sleep - my husband said I had a big silly grin all over my face! :b

He goes to the vets tomorrow to have what I've been told should be the last dressing change on his tail - apparently he broke it when he was in kennels by wagging it too much! :oops:
 
what was his racing name? lovely boy

i will have my blue dog one day.

They did tell me but I've forgotten! I know he was Irish and it was Mcsomething Prince...

Apparently he ran about 11 races and won 4 or 5, but they think he was retired due to a shoulder injury.

He is lovely!! :thumbsup: Well done for adopting him. They make grand pets, I should know - Ive got 3!!! If you look in his ears he should have tatoos (letters/numbers) then go on greyhound data. You should be able to find out some details on there. :luck:

Well done for adopting a grey - they are without doubt the absolute best. Lots of luck with him - he sounds and looks beautiful.

Coincidentally, our greyhound, Eliot, also had to have a small part of his tail amputated when he was in the rescue centre because he wagged it too much as well.

Congratulations, he is very handsome :wub: :wub:

Amazing how quickly they find the sofa :lol:
 
Good Luck :luck: :luck: with your new boy,

He,s lovely :wub: :wub:
 
Skipper looks lovely...Congratulations on giving him a lovely home.

I've just rehomed a blackie (she was with me as a foster) and her tail was nipped off at the end too :(

Skipper looks as if he won't be having that problem anymore, not on that sofa anyway :thumbsup: :wub:

Hope to see more of him on here :)

I'll post a few more pictures as soon as I remember how to make them smaller - my husband showed me once, but my brain has seized!

Oh, and conversation from last night:

Husband: There's something wrong with this picture!

Me: Why?!

Husband: Well how come you're sat on the floor and the dog's on the settee....

:b :lol:
