Te he he he he's so settled in, I got a call from the Shelter yesterday afternoon, it felt so wonderful to tell her how he's settled, how happy he is along with how happy we are with him.
 
As each day rolls around he gets more and more relaxed.

He has this look, a dog look, no I'm not humanising him, he gets tis look like he's the king pin..... then, he flops down for a doggy rest.

Of course this doesn't last long, especially if I'm going for a swim, then he chases me around the pool, silly dog isn't confident enough yet to jump in, but I'm working on it.

He found a mouse the other day, he was so focused on it, for about an hour - needless to say he didn't get it..... at least I know now he will keep the rats and mice down. :-}

His favourite spot, right at the end of the pool deck, overlooking the whole place, the perfect spot for sunning yourself whilst keeping an eye on things. te he he he's so cute huh?

    Queenie ~ Isn't he just?? handful is spot on, he's got energy to burn and boy does he know how to burn it.
  • pusscat said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Oh my god that cutey!!!  He looks to me like a Doberman cross, yes?  I love the fact though he has floppy ears lol!!  Not in a bad way either, but in a "hey, they crop our tails and try to bread everything out of us but not us cross breads" king of way ;-)

    Can't wait to see the photos when he does take that dip :-)

    Oh Luce, you have taken a beautiful creature from a lonely life and given him so much.  Bless you.  He will give you back tenfold I promise but you know that already don't you.  Sorry, ya got me blubbering
  • Lucytorial said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Puss ~ He's a pure bred Manchester Terrier, and yeh the similarities with Dobbermans is amazing, like a minature version.
     
    blubber away he's already giving back.
  • Twylarants said on Sep 19, 2009....
    He's so handsome, Lu.  I like the middle picture...he looks like he's marching.
  • Lucytorial said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Twyla ~ He has this prance going on te he he handsome is the right word.
  • pusscat said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Aaw Luce - I didn't know about that bread, I so hope he aint offended as he looks so regal and elegant.  He is like the David Nivan of the dog world and, trust me, anyone who knows who David Niven is will know that as the compliment it is. 

    I can see Strauss laughing right now at my original comments about Doberman - dooooh!.  I think she would be rather pleased at your choice to go to the dog shelter hun :-)  Gosh he is such a handsome devil.
  • Lucytorial said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Puss ~ Its an interesting breed, they used them for hunting dogs in England, also ratters during the early 1800's, but they're a loyal dog too. The david niven reference is perfect bwaa ha haha
  • MsStar39 said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Lucy he is beautiful and very regal looking.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Sep 19, 2009....
    He looks like a fine addition to the household.  All regal looking yet able to relax.  I bet he keeps you jumping.  That spot he likes really is one of he best on the property. ;)  Is that a bathtub I see to the side?!!
  • wishyouwerehere said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Oh he really is very regal looking, like MsStar said.  I hope you are all very happy together. 
  • moonriver said on Sep 19, 2009....
    hi lucy friend.
    are you really sure he's a manch terrier?
    looks like a doberman to me. (fierce ones, those...)
    ah but if he's a cute one and a gentle personality, i'm taking your word for it.
    give him 10 tight hugs from this incorrigibly wild lupine cousin.
    i hereby officially induct him as a member of the sc canine celebrity club.  

  • killingme4u said on Sep 19, 2009....
    he's adorable lucy. ;>))))
  • moonriver said on Sep 19, 2009....
    yo julie, how you been, pretty lady?
    another 10 hugs for your own canine terrorist.

  • Me-Myself&I said on Sep 19, 2009....
    nice looking pal there Lucy.
  • Hegemone said on Sep 19, 2009....
    Oh my gosh Lucy!  He is beautiful!  He has such a regal look to him.  I'm so excited for you.
  • CayenneMan said on Sep 20, 2009....
      My God Lucytorial I'm so happy for you. You found yourself a great addition to your family. That guy is happy I can tell, he walks proud and it shows, I know he'll be very devoted to all of you. Thanks for rescuing him from the shelter, you made his day and mine to. How is he at billiards ?  Maybe one day you can all stop by and Pluto can show him some trick shots, Pluto has gotten pretty good :o)  .
       Looking for a swimming partner ? Watch out, I'm sure it won't be long before your pooch jumps into the pool. I'll never forget the day Pluto jumped into my hot tub, it totally freaked me out :o) I had no idea he was goofy enough to jump in but when he did he was all smiles :o) .    Now I just have to go spin me a song . . .  ?  Maybe I'll go with Simon and Arfunkel ?
  • MissMimi said on Sep 20, 2009....
    He's a very handsome young man, Lu.  :)  Hearing this has inspired me to maybe find a new feline friend.  Not that he looks like a cat, but that you've opened your heart to a new family member. 
     
     
  • Alyss said on Sep 20, 2009....
    Congrats on your new addition.

    He is a very good looking dog and looks so happy too.

  • Lucytorial said on Sep 25, 2009....
    Frags ~ He's an awesome pocket rocket full of love and we do believe that is because he was a shelter dog - his gratitude is just so humbling.
