Happy ferrets. Just loved the videos but those two still photos were lovely.

For what it’s worth, the experience I’ve had with such mass classes, haven’t produced better results than I’ve achieved on a 1:1 basis. With a previous whippet rescue, Poppy, she was overwhelmed in the company of other dogs. Although recognised by the ‘trainer’ it wasn’t taken into account by...

Perhaps not go out?

Great news. Hope he’s now settled.

What a beautiful boy. Is he settling in well?

I empathise. Was in the same position four years ago with a rescued three year old whippet. Wouldn’t come near me, anxious in the car to throwing up. I doubted my sanity but we did there in the end - Mabel’s a very happy and secure seven year old. Something of a daddy’s girl. Wouldn’t be without...

As I said, life gets confusing when you hit thirty.

Yes, 'tis a curse when one hits thirty. Just you wait.

There are many reputable whippet rescue organisations out there. I know that there is a glut of young whippets looking for a home - taken on as puppies during the lockdown by people with no foresight who found the going tough. Good luck. Where are you situated?

The whole purpose of my previous message was not to show off Mabel but to demonstrate that patience and allowing your new girl her time and space would turn her around. You’ve taken on this waif during the most depressing time of the year - dark mornings, drippy weather. Mabel came to us in late...

Like you we took on a rescue just over four years ago having had two rescued whippets before. At first it was a nightmare. We were her third home and I was in despair for the first few months - separation anxiety in spades, throwing up in the car HOWEVER we decided to give her all the space and...

Would echo best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year. Would have wished a happy Christmas but there was suspicious activity on the Forum.

Am presuming that it’s been sorted. Whoppee, it’s good to be back.

That was charming. Roughly eighteen months ago someone on the forum (possibly you) mentioned that they ‘honk’. In my naivety I thought that was a reference to the noise they make. In due course someone (again, possibly you) explained. Convinced me that I should get out more.

Since receipt of your suggestion Mabel receives a chicken foot after her breakfast and one at midday and thoroughly enjoys them. Thanks for the suggestion.
