Our new pup Wilf has arrived. We picked him up yesterday at 7 weeks old, a week earlier than we planned. He's happy on solids now and his mum was nearly dry and not keen on giving what was left due to some new sharp teeth plus Mrs RM is working from home this week so two of us to cope!
His first sight of his new sisters

One dog is a bit circumspect, one intrigued but a little wary and Lucy the greyhound has really taken to him.






He can dance:




How I prefer him, he's hard work! (Not really)



I'd forgotten how much work pups were. Good job it doesn't last too long.

I used to race greyhounds. The buggers beat me every time!

Nice dog. He is the same colour as mine, except for the white markings. Get ready for a lot of attention. We were somewhat shocked at the number of people who want to stroke her.

You might already be used to this with the greyhounds, but I would suggest getting a harness for him as in our experience, a collar seems to rub away their coat in the throat area.

Yep our whippet seems to attract a lot of people wanting to stroke him. We also use a harness smile

Can't believe I didn't comment on how adorable Wilf is smile

Wilf!

Possibly my all-time favourite dog name!


And Wilf is cloud9. That pic of him sat up in the crate is fab! cloud9

I used to drive my housemate Will mad by calling him "Wilf" all the time.

Nice puppy though!
