    Harnessing A Sighthound

    Tina used to be a little monkey for wriggling out of her car harness if she wanted to be somewhere :rant: I want a harness for Spot for when he's in the car too. He's a good traveller and tends to just curl up in a ball on the back seat as soon as we set off but I would like him fastened...

    Cats And Dogs do get along!

    Our family always had cats and dogs together :D For the past four years I've been fostering the old cats for a local charity but been unable to have a dog because of my working hours (doing less now) and because we just couldn't seem to find a dog who was 100% with the cats :( Our last...

    What Is He

    These definitions are pretty fascinating :thumbsup: I'm not sure whether Spot is a pure whippet or has a touch of greyhound in him (he was advertised in the ad as whippet greyhound).....but it doesnt really matter does it? He's my daft pup (w00t)

    Got My New Whippet....it's Only Taken Four Years!

    He's been a sweetheart overnight Had a lovely walk at dusk last night and saw a barn owl hunting Then he settled down on his blankets on my bedroom floor and didn't try to climb up next to me. I didn't hear a peep from him all night (probably because he was wrapped up in a soft furry...

    Got My New Whippet....it's Only Taken Four Years!

    He nearly went back to Davy this morning......ooooh he was being a little s*o*d!!! Last night I went to bed and read my book for a bit and he settled down quite happily on his bed on the floor. I popped to the loo before lights out and whilst I was in the bathroom Spot peed on our bed...

    Got My New Whippet....it's Only Taken Four Years!

    Yes, those ears ARE pretty amazing (w00t) He looked absolutely stunning on the beach this morning when a guy passed by about 100yds away with his briard. Spot stood watching the other dog so alertly with those big sky dish lugs and reminded me SO much of the statues of Anubis :D We got...

    Got My New Whippet....it's Only Taken Four Years!

    And it was all completely unplanned! (w00t) This morning STARTED off pretty normal. Neil came home from nightshift at 7am and was complaining, once he was in bed, about not being able to warm up.....said he was going to put the electric blanket back on the bed until *and this is where he made...

    Whippet Day

    Tina used to be the same.......a crazy half hour or hour on the beach and she was snoozing from the minute she got back into the car :D As to introducing babies to the household: there's an article about just that very thing in the new issue of Dogs Today, pages 68-71. When my niece was...

    Dotty Has Been Corrupted

    You weren't deliberately setting out to hunt the bunnies so don't feel guilty AT ALL :thumbsup: Instinct and 100+ years of breeding will always take over. My Tina was just a soft daftie and never really seemed interested in rabbits on walks - she just wanted to run around in circles and...
