Just like to announce a new addition to the Murray/Melville household, we picked him up early this afternoon....dog or fox you decide...eyepopping.gif



....it's a dog!!

When Dave first received the pictures of Somme and heard his story we felt really sorry for him, from his pictures he looked like such a gentle old soul so we went over to see him this afternoon and brought him home with us. He's been well looked after despite spending 5 months in a very small garden shed. Because of his fox like face we've renamed him 'BASIL'. He's settled in well so far with the other 6 hounds, he's no idea what a bed, sofa or treats really are (yet!) He was used for hunting for years and is very badly scarred all over his face and body, we think it makes him more handsome though!

Aww well done you for taking such an oldie, SUCKERS LOL wink.gif Are you keeping him or is he a foster? I know i keep saying it , but i wish i could take Millie's bro cry.gif Bit gutted i turned him down at the xmas show for being quite hyper, wasn't his fault it was such a false environment to judge what he'd really be like. Nevermind, Willow got a home from it giggle.gif

Oh thats great for taking on "Basil"     He really suits his name.  You can see all his old wounds from the pics.  Bet you can't wait to spoil him rotten and show him home comforts.   He deserves it.

Congratulations on your lastest foster/adoptee?, Basil suits him just fine and I think he looks very distinguished with his scars of life, each one telling its own story.He is one very lucky hound to be with you and may all his future years be nothing but the best.biggrin Nora

Congratulations to both of you! Basil's found a fantastic home and I look forward to hearing how he's settling down and learning about the home comforts he's never had till now. He's a lovely foxy boy!

I'm glad to hear that Somme, now Basil is getting some TLC!

I met him when I went to do his "photo shoot", and I was quite taken with him.

Good luck Basil!

Joyce
