Congrats Alison, I do hope he settles in well - our 4th adult male to be homed this week!! Can't wait to see pics of him, and I am glad he has a good home now (for those of you who dont know, Shabba was looking for a home as his owners thought he was too playful and didn't want to risk him around their baby)

OOoooooh 'excitin' !    Hope Shabba settles in really well and that soon it feels as though you've had him for all time.   ;D

(Shabba - great name - but all I can picture is Peter Kay!)

Congratulations!   Is he going to keep the name Shabba?  All I can think of is that song from about 15 years ago 'Mr Loverman' by Shabba Ranks, the majority of the song is some woman singing 'Mr Loverman' and then a bloke shouting 'Shabba' just found a youtube video of it  :rofl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV7Y0jHFtMo&mode=related&search=

Can't wait to see pics  ;D
