The new man in my life

Well, you knew it was going to happen sooner rather than later, even Phil's Mum wasn't surprised when I phoned her and told her The reason I have been a bit quiet the past few days is that we have been settling this little man in. He is around 2 (we think), and came from the local rescue; originally a poundie, previously homed with a family who have had to give him up because the couple are divorcing (he wants the dog but has moved to a flat, she has the house but doesn't want the dog). He is a staffie, with the most amazing tiger-striped brindle coat, very willing to please and affectionate. Very playful, which is rather a shock for Archie who had got used to lazy boy Taffi, but they are getting on pretty well so far.

Introducing Harvey:

He's beautiful and I hope he enjoys being your new doorbell!

LOL< he doesn't bark at the door! Still need a new doorbell, Taffi really is irreplaceable.

Lovely markings on his coat Tina, hope he brings you all lots of fun.

Will admit I don't like Staffies, something about the face/look, but hope you all enjoy each others company and he settles in to his new home.

If he is anything like the one next door had (recently gone to live elsewhere) Archie is in for a hectic time! It used to "bounce" about all the time, great at jumping 6 foot fence too.

well he is a handsome young man, hope he settles in quickly and I'm sure he has a way of letting you know there is someone at the door.

Aah he looks super i hope him and Archie become the best of friends.

hes got a lovely face tina ,hope he fits in with everyone nicely and that he and archie become good pals ,im sure they will.

Love the name, looks a bit scary to me too, but it's different when you meet them IRL I know. especially as someone who was terrified of shepherds, married a dog handler and ended up owning one.

Hello Harvey. He's just lovely Tina. My bro has a staffie and he's a pussycat too. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with him.

Awww what lovely colouring he has. so cute

I do know what you mean Karelyn, but they get terrible press. In Victorian times staffies were called 'nanny dogs' as they are so good with children! This little man lived with quite small kids, and he is very gentle.

Now GSD's I am scared of, but due an 'incident' when I was little . Sorry Bailey ;)

Bailey says you're forgiven, lol.

Ditto Tina, one leapt out from a gate when I was on my way home from Brownies in the dark (alone, like you could in those days) and bit me, so I would cross the road when I saw one coming, until I met Mick and there was only one way to go after that.

aww he's gorgoeus Tina and his name really suits him.

Remy my gardener has one, who is a really super dog, called Eros and he isnt as pretty as yours but he has a lovely nature. Im glad you got one.

I fell in love with a staffi at Hug a staffi day last w/e. He was 2 called Lucas and had been in kennels 5 mths. he just watched me all way round shop so went over and he was just gorgeous. Couldn't have him tho, not at the moment, but I hope he finds someone to lovehim soon.
