Guest Greyt_Wilson Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) After 3 weeks of waiting we finally brought home our new hound Wilson. It's been a long day for all of us with a 5 hour round trip for us and a 2.5 hour journey home for Wilson in horrible wet weather but it's worth it! We've all had an afternoon nap I haven't had much chance to take pics yet but here are a few of him chilling out: The edge of his giant squishy bed is just showing on the first pic but he isn't sure about how it moves underfoot yet so he's on a fluffy blanket and even fluffier pillow on the floor He hasn't moved for about 3 hours, I don't think he fancies another potty break in the pouring rain Edited June 21, 2008 by Greyt_Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawthorn Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Congratulations - he looks very content - and he's very handsome too Quote When a relationship of love is disrupted, the relationship does not cease. The love continues; therefore, the relationship continues. The work of grief is to reconcile and redeem life to a different love relationship. ~ W Scott Lineberry Always Greyhounds Home Boarding and Greyhounds With Love House Sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Greyt_Wilson Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 aww thanks everyone, I obviously think he's the most handsomest dog in the world but it's nice to know other people think he's cute too!! We've had quite an uneventful day today apart from a marking incident on a table leg, but we caught him in the act and corrected him - we'll be watching him like a hawk, though having said that other than food time and walkies he's hardly moved He's still not sure about his bed and only has his head on it at the moment, I can see some "cute and funny" pics coming on soon! I'm in awe of him at the moment, I keep finding myself just watching him sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
