Product review: Black dog wear whippet collar

Rory got this new collar from Black dog wear

It's the two-tone whippet collar in green

It features and adjustable webbing body in black and green, with a wide padded area on the front to protect delicate whippet necks. 

This martingale function minimizes the chances of the dog backing out of the collar. But because of this, it shouldn't be used as an all day tag collar or it may become dangerous. Although it does have a plastic ring for hanging tags off and the metal D ring on the martingale area is for attaching the leash to.

The collar is very well made and reasonably priced. It comes with a 6 month guarantee.

It looks really great too!

When walking, it was super secure and strong. 

Whilst we here at Zippy the Whippet do love this collar we were not paid to do this post, we bought the collar with ourselves and all opinions are our own.

Wordless Wednesday

Happy 9th Birthday Zippy!

Zippy is 9 years old today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 
He got a special pupcake to celebrate the occasion.

According to this useful link Zippy's age in dog years would be (12.5 x 2) + (5.20 x 7) ... 61.4 years old! As they say "he's getting there"... but he's not there yet! Zippy's still living it up and mucking around with his doggy friends.

Stay tuned for the upcoming TASTY TUESDAY, for the recipe for "Simple 1 2 3 Pupcakes"

Looks like it's bedtime

Yep! Rory agrees, it's bedtime.

I had to share this moment of Rory and Toby with everyone

AWWW!

Zippy Rory & Toby: Toby Makes Three

Toby has now made a second doggy friend! He has impeccable taste in friends now (both being Whippets). Toby wasn't quite sure of Rory at first... but they soon warmed to each other. Self centred Zippy was a bit jealous of his two best friends taking so much interest in each other and not him at first. The two stroppy Whippets made amends in the end.

Rory gets excited

Rory plays gently with Toby under the supervision of Zippy

Toby watches and barks encouragement as the big boys play rough. Toby tried to get involved, but ended up running for the safety of an upturned milk crate.

How can one small dog get so massively dirty!?

Tired after a long day. So tired, Zippy doesn't mind his personal-space-bubble being popped.

Pimp mah Kennel

Getting creative with chalk and a dog kennel!

Car Trouble

What's more entertaining than a remote control car? A Whippet chasing a plush toy strapped to a remote control car!

It can't escape if the wheels are off the ground. 

When they say "all-terrain-vechicle" I don't think they factored in dog beds. 

Zippy and Toby: Running with the Dogs

Zippy and Toby went mad today. They have been running around after one another, bickering over toys. They are absolutely hilarious to watch. Constant barks, yaps and play growls. They went completely crazy!

Zippy play growling at Toby. "This is MY tennis ball!"

Toby is a pain in the butt sometimes, literally. *bite

Zippy's face says it all... "dis is my toy!"

Toby isn't set back by Zippy's height advantage.

Zippy and Toby: Cute GIFs

Surprise! I made some gifs to capture all the action and chaos! Zippy and Toby are just too funny to contain in still pictures.

Mexican stand off

Zippy and Toby: Bed Wars

As the saying goes "the fastest way to get a child's attention... is to sit down and look comfortable". The same can be said for puppies. Every time Zippy even thinks about lying down for a nap, Toby is all over him, yapping and nipping Zippy into retaliation. 

(*jaws music plays)

The attack is launched!

Toby : 1

Zippy : 0 

Zippy may have lost the battle, but the Bed Wars is never over!
