As promised, lots of gratuitous Marty greyhound spam :D

4 hours and 200 miles of driving today...... Amy and Flick stayed at home and had a relaxing day sleeping on my bed, Millie came with me to keep Marty company on the way home, and now they are four again :) He has been SO good, I could not be more pleased. Not a word between him and Millie all the way home, he slept all the way! (Millie didn't.....!!!) I always adopt my usual routine immediately with newbies, so got home and let them all meet in the back garden then put them all in the car and we went for a walk. Marty was as good as gold..... not a murmur between him and any of the grils, he walked beautifully on the lead in the woods (despite Millie zooming round like Tigger on speed as usual!), he came home and ate his tea and now he has flaked out asleep in the hallway! He is such a sweetie, I am absollutely delighted with him :):):)

So Marty not Mattie! He looks at home immediately, good news.

LOL I still haven't decided :D :D :D He does respond to Marty..... I just don't like it very much! When the rescue charity were filling in his paperwork they asked me what I was going to call him and I said 'I don't know' :D

He is being squeaky Marty this evening 😂 obviously I can’t blame him for being unsettled, such an upheaval and a change for him! 😊

He is SO beautiful Levrier, hope by now you have had a peaceful night.
I haven’t commented about the name before as it’s such a personal choice, but if you can’t decide, then leave it as Marty. You will get used to it and it’s a perfectly nice name.
We adopted a dog called Sadie and we thought we didn’t like the name at all but were hopeless at deciding what to change it to.
She stayed Sadie and we grew to love the name because we loved the dog ❤️

A very handsome lad who looks totally relaxed in his new surroundings. Good choice, Lev.

The photo in the back of the car brought a lump to my throat. Your girl on the left looks so much like my late Chloe even down to her expression, she was also a tuxedo. Give her a hug from me please.
