New pets

[mumbleswan]

My first parcel from Julip HQ in several years arrived today!   Here's who was inside...


2 new labs, Daisy the yellow lab named after my neighbours dog, and black labx Tess (an accidental 'portrait' of my own dog).  Tess even has paw pads painted on!  I noticed the cute little rope toy with one of the other spares dogs so had to make one for Daisy when I saw she had a mouth slit. Look at her little eye lashes!  I didn't see any of the details when I bought them.


 
Also inside my parcel was a sweet little grey and white kitty I have yet to name and a JRT called Fudgey (after a stable dog I knew in Wales).  Josh is my older black lab in the middle.


And last but not least a stunning, fast-moving streak of sleek white fur - an arctic fox!  His name is Pukajaak which apparently is Inuit for a sugary type of snow. As he looks a bit like he's made of icing it seemed appropriate.


And here's the whole bunch.  Laura has painted on some beautiful eyes, full of character without being ridiculously large. Oddly enough I see many more latex dogs in my future…

Eee! Lovely doggies!
I'm really tempted to whip the scalpel out and give my dogs a proper mouth now...

[zirliz]

Lovely, can't wait till mine arrive, I noticed the detail in the dog and cat i got from spares last time very pretty

[Jan]

Lovely selection of pets - really cute expressions :-)

[capriole]

Aren't they lovely. You are right about the eyes!

What a gorgeous little selection, hoorah for portrait dogs (a few of mine are named after real ones I've known even though they were accidental lookalikes not specially ordered), and the rope chew-thing looks great in his mouth - how did no-one ever think of mouths on dogs before?! The little fat terrier is my favourite, though, he looks great in his collar

[Josie]

I love that they have mouth slits, great fun! Are all the dogs getting them now then? When I saw the spares I had just thought that the toys were glued on

[julipfarm]

How lovely!

[tesscarson]

Very cute! They have very expressive faces.

Here's what happened 3 seconds after all the nicely posed pics… hehe.



You can see Fudgey's 'fluffy' tail and back legs! He is my equal favourite with Tess Georgie The real Fudgey was elderly and just as round, she used to flop onto your feet and fall asleep when you were sat in the office waiting for a lesson to start.
Only one had a mouth slit Josie but I guess it would be a simple thing to change? It does lead to lots of options!
I wonder if Laura would one day possibly maybe consider wire in the bigger dogs legs (for extra cost of course!) It would be great fun to have them lolloping about the place *carnageensues*

I think a future Julip wolfhound or greyhound would be fantastic to pose, but a pain in the bum to cast I'd imagine! XD

My second favourite breed!

[juliporiginals]

I had actually thought of having a go at wiring the labrador's legs as they are a bit longer, there were one or two dogs in the first batch that had wired tails

[EG]

Ooooh, do it!
It's a pity the terriers are so stumpy, it'd be hilarious to have their little blobby feet poseable. XD

[zirliz]

Bendy legs would be cool on dogs

[Tashie]

Oooh wired tails! Did anyone buy the dog/s with the wire tails? I think a picture to show off the poseable tail!!

[debi1963]

oooh love the artic fox..may need to order one
