I'll be patient then, and hope that sometime soon they'll let you take a beauty shot @Cleoriff 

Until we can see the puppies @ComaChameleon, I thought I'd share a picture of my family's new dog (as of last Saturday)! Unfortunately he's in France so I haven't met him in person yet, but 4 years old Jules is a real cutie:

He's beautiful @EmilieT

I have just watched a soldier on This Morning who adopted a puppy he found in a demolished building in Afghanistan. It took him 4 days to get the puppy out of the building as he was frightened. All his siblings were dead :smileysad:...Eventually he came to him and he brought him back to the UK, (apparently that was a 6 month process as he had to get permission and help from the British Consul.)

You should see the 'puppy' now. All grown up and beautiful

Such a sad story, but thankfully a lovely happy ending @Cleoriff  Still no luck with Gizmo and Lily?

No @EmilieT

I did get one of Gizmo but we had visitors at the weekend and with them and F1 I have been a bit busy.

Actually my grandson bought their new puppy to see us. I say puppy as he is only 12 weeeks old and massive

It's a Dogue de Bordeaux

Currently looks like this.....

And will grow up to look like this....

If you have ever seen the film Turner and Hooch, thats the sort of dog in the film. Pity he will be slobbery when he shakes his head...

[blissgirl]

He's very cute @Cleoriff

[EmilieT]

What a adorable pup @Cleoriff  What's his name??

@EmilieT  He is called Hank.

Nice name, as Tom Hanks starred in the film Turner and Hooch. (Hooch was a Dogue de Bordeaux)

They also have a cat called Mr James, who hasn't taken to Hank at all yet...

[EmilieT]

@Cleoriff

Maybe once Mr James has warmed up to Hank a bit more, maybe we'll get to see a nice picture of them both hanging out together? Or am I too much of an optimist  

[Cleoriff]

Maybe Emilie.

I have heard of stranger things happening

[EmilieT]

Fingers crossed @Cleoriff 

In the meantime, I thought I'd share this news article about a friendship between seven labradors and a kitty that @Martin-O2 spotted yesterday ... so adorable
