Murphy :)

[Jane]

For anyone that didn't read my last thread, last saturday my nannan and grandad adopted there new doggy :) He is from a rescue and is apparently a Border Terrier x *shrug* Whatever he is he's gorgeous :P He was originally called Clyde (because he had a friend called Bonnie but she was adopted and he was left behind :() but he didn't respond to that and it doesn't really suit him so he was renamed Murphy.

When he came home he looked like this; (sorry for blurry pics, it's because flash wasn't used in them)

This is him during the week, still smelly and scruffy but settling in well ;)

He has now had a bath and been groomed (although he wasn't that happy about being gromed so it's still a bit long - more managable now! and less smelly ;)) so here he is today;

How very gorgeous he is settling in and looks better with every pic. Hope he makes your nanan and grandad very happy

[Grete]

He looks really great Jane :) Still very very cute :)

[Elaine]

He's gorgeous Jane:D He was gorgeous before and even more so now:lol:

[borderdawn]

He's settling in well Jane, who cut his coat?

[Kay]

Awww he is so cute. I really love the scruffy ones.

[Jane]

Thanks guys :D

He's settling in well Jane, who cut his coat?

My aunty did it (lol, she is a dog groomer)..I personally think it doesn't look right but hey what do I know about dog groming :lol: Apparently he was quite stressed, especially when doing around his face/neck and belly so maybe that is why...?

[yola]

I suppose if it was matted it was the only thing to be done. So hopefully it won't need doing again (apart from a trim) and therefore the lovely Murphy won't get too stressed again.

[Mags]

He's lovely Jane, I'm glad he has settled in well with your Nannan and Grandad..:D

I bet he feels a lot better after his grooming too ......what a smart boy!:D

[dandysmom]

He looks like a different dog after grooming! Glad he's settling in well; keep the pics coming, Jane!

[Jane]

Thanks guys :D

He is learning his name and he is seeming a lot happier this week :)

[MrsH]

His looks have really improved following his wash and brush-up! He seems to be well settled in his new home, what a lucky boy!

[Moli]

Even before his wash and brush up he was a lovely boy....:D

[Jane]

hehe thanks. They are going to let his fur grow a bit longer I think but it has to be cut because it was matted and he stunk lol..now it is this short it is managable and can be trimmed :)

[Erin]

hes gorgeous Jane :D
