New Kid on the block
I have today become the proud owner of a nearly 5 year old Border Collie Cross. He was in a very loving home (had him since March 07) but unfortunately was left on his own all day and sometimes evenings and wasn't getting any walks whatsoever. His owner had three jobs, her husband recently left her and she felt so guilty that he was not getting the stimulation he required. He was originally a rescue having been thrown out of a car when he was 5 months old.
Anyway, although a little concerned about upsetting my other two I agreed to take him on and he arrived at 1.45 today. He is adorable, rather overweight for obvious reasons, but with a permanently waggy tail and just wants lots of cuddles. My Saluki is a bit wary but I am sure she will come round and although Meggie my staffie cross is fine his energy and boistrousness is a bit of a shock. He ate his dinner in about 3 seconds and we have been out to the playing field where he has met all the locals (mainly King Charles , labs and the odd mutt and he loved it. All the dogs loved him and he was off lead and came immediately when called. He has now cleared out the toy basket which hasn't been touched since my BC died last November and going through them one by one. I had forgotten what it was like to have a young BC in the house
Will post some pics in the right section later.

Sounds like he's settling nicely, can't wait to see him, what's his name?
