(w00t) :D :D Excellent!!!

How old is he, and how often do you usually take him for a walk? It sounds like he's just over-excited; do you find after a while that he returns to 'normal' or is he like it the whole time you're out?

What does it mean when your whippie puts their ears flat back against the head (so it almost looks like they don't have any ears!?). I though originally it was when they were apprehensive or worried, but I think that's just the resulting expression on their face :clown: Billy normally does...

No - I always get him back - he's sitting in his chair with a biscuit as I type ;) (Just under his terms, that's all!!) I think he just knows how far he can push it before someone stops his fun - Strike Whippets' story sounds very familiar, and I think the hide & fright tactics would be...

:lol: :lol: That's somewhere near "Whatever it is you're doing, stop it!" in the Lenient Guide to Dogs. Some good advice, thanks. I had thought about the hiding trick, but must confess to worrying about seeing him run off in a panic - in the wrong direction :teehee:

Sorry for the strange topic title - I was worried about running out of space! :D My young whippet lad Billy, well - coming on for 2 years old now (how time flies) is developing a bad habit for venturing further and further afield on walks. From a pup, he would stick close by, and most times...

As I understand it, Kennel cough is a more persistent affliction. The backward sneezing (and forward sneezes at times!) happened maybe 2 or 3 times in the course of an evening, with the odd sniffle thrown in - but for the 2 or so days where it was at it's worst, he'd wake himself up with it...

Yup - Billy has just been through a patch of the backward sneezes. He seems to have just about got through it now - it lasted about a week, and was quite alarming at it's peak - about 2-3 days. In fact I don't recall him doing it at all last night, so fingers crossed.

Aaahhhh - other dog-walkers have mentioned there had been a lot of it about - I must confess to not having any experience with it; I presume a trip to the vet is in order then? :(

Curious as to why Billy seems to have succumbed to sneezing fits recently, and last night was punctuated with instances where it sounded like he was sneezing backwards :blink: Kind of hawking and hacking like a footballer about to clear his nose :x He seems more-or-less himself, maybe a...

:lol: :lol:

erm..... :- "

They have a terrible time trying to hang them up on hooks... :D

SNAP!!
