This is a present some lucky person will get from Santa in the morning. He has been at my neighbours house since last night, she is puppy sitting it for a friend. It's a present for his girlfriend for Christmas. I was very lucky to have him at my house for a couple of hours today while she did last minute shopping.

I WANTED TO KEEP HIM

He's absolutely adorable! Made himself very much at home didn't he? ;D What breed is he? Skye terrier?

Even though I only had him for a couple of hours the house seemed really empty when he'd gone, jeez I've gone all broody

He's a Border Terrier and despite the fact that he had only just left his mummy bless him he really did make himself at home. His current name is Baxter but not sure if the new owner will rename him

Mmmmm, as far as Tealy goes I think this photo of her sliving away from him speaks volumes, shall we say she tollerated him

Well I've seen my neighbour who say's he cried all night on Christmas Eve

I think it was because he wanted to stay at Chuckles house even though Tealy did grumble at him ;D They haven't heard from the new owner on how he is settling in but I'm sure he'll be happy. They are doggy people but they don't currently have a play mate for him

Remember Baxter, old photo of him at mine to remind you

Well he's doing fine. He took a couple of days to settle into his new home, the usual few nights of crying

They have kept the same name which I reckon really suits him and he has started to show more of that lovely shiney black through on his coat. He enjoys spending time with his new Mum and apparently goes out riding with her, he's very well behaved and respectful when he is in the stable yard with all those big horses too. Bless him
