Poor little Reggie - Little Lurcher in Hants

[Mimsmum]

This little man came into us today in Hampshire. He will be getting a name shortly by his foster mum. He is a lovely little chap of around 21" at the shoulder, so only a littlun.
I will leave his foster mum to fill you in but here are a couple of photos of little one a couple of weeks ago. He is on treatment still but doing well, and his coat is now growing back.

I think this one is going to be a special little poopie (I know, they are all special ).

I can not wait to meet you tomorrow little Mr. no name

[pumpkinlady]

Well, I'm sure Karla will be on here to update soon, but in the meantime I'll just let you know that the meeting went well this afternoon and he is on his way to his new foster home ;D

And he is one gorgeous dog......

Don't you ever move from where you are Jayne. What would we do without you missus.

I'm happy to help, but it's a bit sad to think that the really badly treated dogs all seem to be from round here though

[gilly73]

I know what you are saying Jayne. My Sammy was found in Bordon

At least there is SLR to swoop in to rescue them

[dandan]

Oh his poor skin
I so wish I could help more with these poor dogs
At least he's turned the most important corner now, he'll get all the love and care he could wish for

[baccara]

Just an idea regarding his name - Mr. no name = Norman

I do crosswords

[Karla]

Thank you so much Jayne for meeting us at the kennels today to get littl'un out

This little pocket sized pooch is just scrummy and seems to love everyone and everything! We took Dylan & Shylo with us to collect him and they we absolutely fine together - so much so that he snuggled down in the back of the car and used Dylan as a pillow ;D

Initial meetings with the other two were fine. Dexter barked a lot but then that's nothing unusual for Dexter and they did have a tiny spat in the kitchen but I think Dexter is just a little unsure and possibly a little nervous as he's stuck to me like glue for the last half hour and is currently snuggled up next to me on the sofa making sure no one else gets close to his mum littl'un has totally respected Vinnie and submitted to him straight away - but then who doesn't

He's absolutely tiny - probably no more than 20" tts - but I'll measure him later to make sure but he makes Dexter look big! I'm pretty sure he's staffie x whippet as he seems to have the traits of both breeds but I'm sure there's some other bits in the mix! His skin is not as bad as it looks in the pictures above although the two wounds on his front legs are still weepy and will need attention soon. He's had a bath as he stank to high heaven of the kennels and he's had some food. I fed him separately from the others for the first time as I didn't want to upset Dexter anymore but other than wolfing it down super fast he was fine with me near him and touching him whilst he ate so I don't think he's got any food aggression. He's had some treats with the others and didn't worry about them - he's just so hungry and I think would eat anything you offered him

He currently snuggled up on Mark's lap looking quite content

So down to the important bits - first his name! Seeing as he's seriously cute but feisty little monkey we came up with 3 names which were Ronnie, Reggie or Charlie (aka The Krays) and we've settled on.......

Reggie

Now the part you've all been waiting for - piccies.....

Such a little cutie


Having a bath



Not staying still but just to show how diddy he is even next to Dexter

[gilli1976]

so sweet

[dandan]

Oh he's gorgeous! If there was any doubt as to his neutering status it's gone after the pic of him going back into the house !! Reggie really suits him too

[salukigoddess]

Gorgeous boy

and your Shylo looks so proud next to her Dad in that outside pic ;D.

[pumpkinlady]

It was a pleasure to meet you both again, and I'm just so pleased that he's safe with you. He looks very comfortable already! ;D

[gilly73]

Oh he is a lovely ickle poppet So glad he is getting on with your pack hun

Seriously love the name, it really suits him

[Wipuki]

Definitely a cutie. He might be little but I bet he's big on character ;D Hat's off to you Mark and Karla for fostering him

[Bigdog]

He looks so comfy already Looks like you guys are going to work the usual 'magic'

As a little 'aside', couldn't help but notice Marks arm tat, any chance of a photo to see it properly?

[sandie]

Poor little mite but the pictures of him now in his foster home say it all, he looks really content n foster dad's lap ...is he watching tv?

[Karla]

Not sure who looks more comfortable Mark or Reggie



but they are both snoring.......


Mark (bigdog) that tattoo is something Mark & I had done for my birthday - his is on the arm and mine is on my back ;D We actually stole the idea from Gilly as she's got one very similar on her hand and we just adapted it - with her permission

I'll dig out some pictures and show you.

[Bigdog]

Obviously had too much Guiness ;D

Looking forward to the tat piccy

Reggie looks like he just loves cuddles and attention glad he is making himself at home and hope he does really well , well done Karla and Mark
