Zippy and Toby: Running Comparison

Whippets seem to run with the fast equivalent of a super model sashay. 


Elegance...

Small puff-ball dogs like Toby run... well... they run like a ball of furry, I mean, fury.

Now he is a bunny...

Now he is has Dumbo ear. Up, up and AWAY!

Treat Terror

More dog shaming... sigh... such a naughty Whippet. Zippy has a food supply box ontop of his kennel where his dry dog food is kept. I lock it because Zippy learnt how to open the lid. And guess what? ... no one locked the lid of the box last night... 

"I broke into my food supply box and ate a WHOLE packet of treats, then I threw up inside because I didn't chew."

The brown, wicker food box on top of Zippy's kennel has now been safely buckled.

Product review: Ruffs Lamb Rice Crackers
Very tasty. Assure effective chewing, to avoid disastrous spewing.

Zippy and Rory: Play Date

Pet Photo Portraits: Top Tips
1.  Draw pet's attention the camera using treats or a toy
2.  Having the pet sit makes it less likely move around
3.  Use a sports mode if possible. Pets don't sit still for long!

Zippy wants the treat

Walkies!

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.

Zippy and Toby: Play Date



Toby likes to go for the ears, especially when Zippy isn't sharing a new toy

Zippy tried to find some peace .

Toby is camouflaged! Secretly sharing Zippy's bed.

Toby had a bath... looks like he shrunk in the wash.

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.
