Can't believe how similar Nel is to Lula the little lurcher we adopted from you in March. She looks the same Saluki mix, same colour, similar weight 15 kilo's when she came to us and now over 18 kilo's., Lula's legs look slightly finer boned., but both are dainty little souls. It makes us wonder if they came from same area?
Hope Nell quickly finds a lovely home when Sally has worked her magic.

Wow, those ears are fabulous, Nellie is definitely a very appropriate name. Love the way she is grooming Phoebe in the last vid, very sweet

She's settled so well with your family. She's beautiful. She could almost be the next member of the FF Club?

Nell was found in Hampshire but not around here, unlike Lula was. Good to hear she's gained some weight and I hope everything else is going well.

Don't they look alike! I remember Nelly sitting on your lap in our garden. I didn't realise she was your first SLR foster.

We've made it passed the all telling day 4 and I think today maybe felt a bit more together, a bit more of Nell getting used to our routines, still had it's crazy times though and I'm thinking of renaming our house to Bedlam . It's mad when Nell, Phoebe and Floyd start bouncing about together. It is funny watching Phoebs and Nell bat each other about the face with their paws to initiate playtime. But the pair of them coming to life at 11-30pm is like having a pair of mischievous puppies! Nell has three settings 1) motionless cuddle bundle - 2) playful squeaky toy demon - 3) ultra fast speed demon. My goodness, the way she, Phoebs and Floyd zoom around the garden leaves us hugging trees to stay safe. Phoebe and Floyd come in panting with their tongues lolling, whereas Nell is fresh as a daisy and ready to keep going, not even panting. Our lounge looks like a kiddies creche, toys strewn everywhere by her. Whichever one Phoebe picks up, Nell steals from under her nose. She's not fussy, any soft toy, antler chew, footballs, shoes, slippers, dressing gown, door stops....it's all fair game for distribution about the house Kali and Nell come to the Post Office, both good as gold being fussed and Nell patiently sat down there, as she did on a walk around the village when I stopped to chat to a friend. Out on the forest and heathland walks she's quite keen on the bunny and deer smells around. Out and about with Floyd... We've had a few tiddles indoors and holding on til she's home from a walk, but that's improving and we also now know the signs to look out for. Basically Nell needs to go out very soon after eating, and if she starts getting fidgety and sniffing the floor, you need to get her out quick. She does enjoy a lazy lay-in though, no rush to get up in the mornings whatsoever. Rosie and Kali had been walked and still these two didn't surface.. Beautiful little girl We wonder if there's some Sloughi in her with those huge ears and dark, gentle melancholy eyes. And she doesn't take up much room...spot the brindle, if it weren't for the pink collar.. She is so in to people cuddles Nell loves being snuggled with either of us on the sofa. She's like a lap magnet. How she can be so trusting so soon is very touching. Nell gives the gentlest paw touches and head tilts when she wants something, and chin rests on your arm, lap or chest when she cuddles. She'll hop on to the sofa behind you and rest her chin on your shoulder. She is so tactile. There are signs of S.A. though. Nell is quite squeaky when I'm out, even with the company of the others, and there is competition for affection, each of the lurchers jostling to be first in line, but there is a fair share for everyone. In the last couple of days she's gone from sitting with her tail tucked underneath, to sitting with it out, sweeping it across the floor. She certainly seems very happy and her life before is a distant memory

What a lovely update. Seeing Nell beside Floyd shows she is quite small. Can’t wait to meet her tomorrow.
