Funny Friday

This next installment of funny Friday features Zippy! 

Zippy loves to....

SHAKE!

Zippy, Rory and Minx: Trio Trouble

Minx the Border Terrier came over to visit today along with Rory the Whippet. Minx had a very "exuberant" repletion by the two Whippets. She didn't fully appreciate all the attention and thorough butt sniffing they gave her. In exchange she gave them a lesson in behaviour etiquette when with ladies. 

They eventually worked out a weird sort of play structure; Minx running after toys, Rory half trying to start a game with Minx but half scared he would be snapped at again, and socially dumbfounded Zippy just following the others around trying to keep in check. 

Minx was a bit unsure of her taller companions

Minx running, Rory chasing, Zippy... just bumbling along after them.

Zippy and Rory: Brindle n' Blue Bros

Zippy's best friend Rory, the 2 year old blue Whippet, came over to visit today. Due to Rory's morning bin raid, he was feeling quite lethargic... not really up to the running and wrestling Zippy was hoping for. Rory has unfortunately "burst the seams" of his weight loss diet, much to his Mother's discontent. (Rory's a little bit chubby... by Whippet standards at least)
Even though Zippy was bit disappointed in Rory's lack of enthusiasm, they enjoyed each other's company whilst lazing around in the morning sun. 

A literal headBUTT! (head butt to the butt)

I never knew these guys were able to camouflage so well! Rory slipping into the shadows, Zippy flitting between shade and shade... Whippets can even romanticise camo! 

Zippy and Rory went to a favourite enclosed park later where they could have a good zoomies session. It was hilarious watching Zippy trying to knock over Rory to catch him. Rory gave up running after a while, but Zippy continued trying to tempt Rory into chasing him. Zippy wasn't done running yet!

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.

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!

Zippy and Toby: Too Much Love

Zippy the 8 year old Whippet, has just become the newest plaything of Toby. Toby is a 5 month old Maltese puppy being "puppy-sat" by the next door neighbour. Toby absolutely adores Zippy and like all puppies, Toby constantly wants to play... much to Zippy's displeasure. 

Even though they are polar opposites they manage the find moments of happiness and peace in the midst of the furry chaos.

Toby loves biting Zippy's tail, butt and paws. Ankle biter!
