Murphy :)


For anyone that didn't read my last thread, last saturday my nannan and grandad adopted there new doggy He is from a rescue and is apparently a Border Terrier x *shrug* Whatever he is he's gorgeous :P He was originally called Clyde (because he had a friend called Bonnie but she was adopted and he was left behind ) but he didn't respond to that and it doesn't really suit him so he was renamed Murphy.

When he came home he looked like this; (sorry for blurry pics, it's because flash wasn't used in them)
(click thumbnails to enlarge)




This is him during the week, still smelly and scruffy but settling in well










He has now had a bath and been groomed (although he wasn't that happy about being gromed so it's still a bit long - more managable now! and less smelly ) so here he is today;






He's so lovely Really nice temperament and he loves his belly being rubbed hehe.

Jane

My aunty did it (lol, she is a dog groomer)..I personally think it doesn't look right but hey what do I know about dog groming Apparently he was quite stressed, especially when doing around his face/neck and belly so maybe that is why...?

Re: Murphy :)


I suppose if it was matted it was the only thing to be done. So hopefully it won't need doing again (apart from a trim) and therefore the lovely Murphy won't get too stressed again.
