Lovely Blue you are obviously working him far to hard in the garden the poor chap has to take a rest. He has landed on all four paws coming to you Marcia it was meant to be.

I just wanted to update everyone on Blue, especially as he was weighed today and is down to 17.55Kg, which I think is a loss of about 4Kg since he was taken in by SLR. The vet says he is now perfect!! He has settled in very well to our routines, and enjoys his walks, and playtimes. He still enjoys sleeping most of all though! He has a selection of soft squeaky toys that he adores, either for playing with, or cuddling up to! Talking of cuddling, he has cuddled up to me a few times, and also to Holly as well, so definite progress there! He also tries very hard to entice Holly to play, and believe it or not she does seem tempted, but as yet not brave enough! He has met many dogs and is always friendly, although can be a bit shy if they are too boisterous! News of his arrival has spread around the village, and even today I met someone I hadn't seen in a while who said she'd heard all about Blue! She has a Saluki/Greyhound cross called Lizzie, and she and Blue took a shine to each other. Unfortunately neither were off lead as there was some tree felling going on, so they couldn't have a chase around - hopefully next time! Apart from his counter surfing, he has one other bad, but highly amusing habit, and that is to steal my underwear and carry it into the lounge!! OK, as long as we don't have visitors! All in all he is a delight! Thank you SLR!! Just chilling!

So nice to hear that Blue is such a happy chap. He must be a slim line whippet to what he was but all the better for him. Well done can you do the same for me please I could do with losing more then a few pounds. ;D So glad to hear such positive update on the little man. As for the stolen undies he sound a typical male to me, at least he is not wearing them

Thank you Jean and Audrey! He's been very good about the diet and enjoys his walks so the weight loss was fairly easy. Like you Jean, I wish I could lose the same so easily! Trouble is I have no will power! As requested, more of the boy! Boo!!As you can see he has lost a lot around his waist. He has a very deep chest and is on the large side for a Whippet, but the vet was right - he is perfect!! Love you Mum!

Darling darling boy, he looks wonderful Marcia, a credit to you. What a change a loving home can make to a dog. He looks so good with that weight off. Glad you are all enjoying him.

It's been a while since you all had a Blue update so here's a brief catch up! He is still as lovely as ever, and has lost a bit more weight, and is now down to 16.6Kg which suits him perfectly. He has had lots of problems with his right eye, which has meant having drops in 4 times a day for about 8 weeks. He has been an angel having it done, and jumps up on the settee for me when he sees the drops in my hand, as I can't do it otherwise, as joints won't permit! The vets think he's wonderful, and I even caught one of the partners kissing the top of his head the other week!! But in fairness he is very, very kissable! He has now had surgery on his eyelid, and even the Ophthalmologist said he was jealous of me, having such a lovely dog, as Blue just stood there and submitted to all the eye checks, various drops, and even a pressure test! The biopsy results will be back on Monday, and we should have a feel of how everything went in 2 weeks when he finishes a course of oral antibiotics. He and Holly get on famously, and Holly even plays with him on the odd occasion. It only lasts about 30 seconds to a minute, but if you knew Holly you would know that she NEVER plays!! So this is just amazing, that at the grand old age of 11 she has found a playmate! Anyway thank you from all of us SLR, and here is a photo of Blue and Holly cuddling!
