So, after a long saga that I won't bore you with the specifics of, it turns out that we're finally getting a 10-month-old Gordon Setter, a dog named Clitter's Ligger (ssh. Clitter is the bloodline, Ligger its individual name), Lig for short (not Clit!). We're driving to Scotland on Tuesday or Wednesday, to pick him up. And, of course, we got sent some photos in advance.
IS HE NOT THE CUTEST THING EVER? I love him so much. He's absolutely beautiful, I think; he has all that puppylike gangliness that they have, still looks like a toddler, and yet he'll be old enough to take out for walks and hug and love like an adult dog. And he has the softest face and most gorgeous expressions ever. I love him to bits, and I can't wait.
