Hi welcome to ST. Well done you for taking a rescue on.can't wait to see pics.

Hello and welcome.
There are lots of knowledgible people on here to offer lots of advice

. Then there people like me who just love their dogs.

Ok first question not sure where malackey should sleep tonight my bedroom orrrrrrr in the kitchen?i think i would rather he sleep in kitchen as this is where he will be when we go out etc but on the other hand my soft side its his first night

Murphy slept in kitchin from day one. Racer (rehomed at 14 months) would cry when left, so he slept in his crate in the bedroom for a couple of weeks. Now he sleeps behind the bedroom door, landing side and Murphy sleeps anywhere (not in our room though). Just remember if you give in totally now, it's harder to change the rules in the future!

Hi Claire and Malackey and welcome to ST! This is a great forum for meeting friends and getting support.

Angel sleeps at the bottom of my bed, she used to be in a crate as a pup to prevent nighttime weeing and playing, but now she has grown up she is allowed. the only thing I will say is if you don't have plans of sharing your bed forever then don't start it now!

Hi and welcome
Your boy is gorgeous . Well done you for giving him a home and a lovely leather bed to sleep on

My two girls have taken over our leather settee and we have to squeeze in the middle or run very fast to get a good seat

Look forward to hearing more about him.
