Update on Murphy
Weve had him nearly a fortnight now, and hes settling in nicely, first 4 nights we got no sleep, but got him a cage and since then hes slept through the night every night ( apart from wanting to play at 2am this morning 
)
Hes going for his injections next week, hes gone from being quite sleepy to quite playful, but has a tendency to just want to chew your fingers, ankles, clothes as opposed to playing,( is this normal?) trying to stop him from chewing us all the time.
Hes weeing on his puppy pads in the house, everytime we put him outside he does a wee/poo and he seems to be getting into that habit quite well.
Vet said he was a bit underweight when we took him for a check, gave him some worming stuff but didnt find anything in his poo, but hes filled out a bit in the past 2 weeks thankfully.
Pics of him as he was when we brought him home...
and now...

He is uber cute according to my gf. As for chewing, its normal. Buster destroyed a tv remote, 2 ps2 controllers, various shoes, basically anything he could get hold of got chewed. While in the chewing phase he acquired a taste for the delicacy of sweaty sock, something he's still got 9yrs later

I love him, he's so cute..
When puppies are lonely and misses the security and warmth of her mother, you can give him a old sweater or an old shirt with your scent on it..
I did find something for you to read, it might help you: Answer 3 !

He looks a right little character.
You can buy chew deterent spray from any decent pet shop just spray it on everything. Worked a treat on my newest bulldog she never chewed a thing just her toys.
