Pete my whippet raced a little as a youngster ( racing name 'For Pete's Sake') without any injury--he was slow but very enthusiastic !! He retains his enthusiasm when chasing squirrels or rabbits. Unfortunately he now nearly always returns from a series of chases very lame on his front left hand...
Thanks Kay and Rob super pictures and what is clear to my totally biased eyes is that whilst Pete (For Pete's Sake) may be slow he definitely is very handsome !!

Thank you Kay and Rob and also Ray and Judy. Pete (For Pete's Sake) was having his last Open Race and he got to the Semi Final but more importantly he and his four faithful fans had a great day and he came home sound and happy. He is currently enjoying his retirement on the sofa.
We look...

I am just back from South Africa so have not been keeping a 'daily' watch on progress so what must seem slow progress to you seems almost miraculously quick to me. It seems to me that, with your help, Flo is doing extremely well and steadily getting there.
Pity the British and...
We are thinking of Flo and of you Kay and Rob. Flo looks so well in the pictures, her general well being will help her come through this, given time.
We are still planning to go to Cotheridge on Sunday and we are sad you will not be able to be there.

Many congrats to you both and of course Sonny Jim from David and Pete the whippet in Wales. If I can get Pete down from 40 lbs to racing weight we will see you at Worcester with the Straight open in September as our target

Pete our very well behaved whippet has always ripped apart any soft toys (from high street petstores) with ease and apparent pleasure. He seems to get great pleasure in ripping out the inside which we are sure is entirely natural behaviour but beginning to be be expensive!!
Are there any soft...

Our first time to a Gloucester club meeting and we would like to thank everyone for a great welcome. Our dog 'For Pete's Sake' had a great time and hopes we can come again
Jenny and David
Are you racing next Sunday 4th November? If so is it possible that our dog 'For Pete's Sake' could run with you? He does not run bends (always damages a toe) and is a heavyweight.
Thanks
Jenny and David
We had a great time at the Indi today,The racing,the company and the weather were fantastic.
It was a tough day for the organisers who had a load of last minute difficulties but they did a fabulous job. Our great thanks to Kay and Rob and to Ray and Judy and also to all their helpers for making...
We had Frenchies for years before a whippet came along. They are a great breed.Our last two came from
