the best thing about whippet's is......

 

their beautiful eyes, which can see through me when i pretend I'm cross about something naughty they've done!!!

 

their little wrinkly necks when they curl up and sleep next to me.....

 

oh and their happy tails whenever I enter the room.....

 

I think they love me......

 

oh and also the way they share everything with me...my sofa, my bed, my food LOL

The best thing about Whippets for me is ..... The way they talk to you

 

The cheeky way they pinch things, then give it to you as a gift

 

The lovely friends I have made through having Whippets

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

mine has to be their loyalty! i love how a whippet chooses one person as their best friend, my dad is whispers favourite but willow chose me! she loves to be at my side and doesn't want anyone else, she sleeps with me, watches tv with me and curls up on the landing while i am in the shower    

i really dont know what i would do without her, i have met so many amazing friends through showing willow.

The best thing about whippets is the way they know when you are sad and their way of comforting you, just to let you know that they are there.  I have had some amazing moments with my whippets over the years but the one that never leaves me is the night my dad died, it was the middle of the night and everyone had eventually gone to bed, I was alone downstairs, Sparky who loves his bed and never leaves it after his bedtime treat, joined me on the sofa, snuggled up to me and gently licked away my tears, he didn't close his eyes just stayed there.  The greatest prize your whippet can give is not won in the ring, on the track or in the field, it is their love and devotion and I would never want a time when I did not have a whippet in my life.

For me , they are a joy to live with ( usually) I wouldnt want any other breed ( except a racing greyhound )

 

I`m just putty in their hands I`m afraid. One look with those eyes and even if Im cross because one has chewed/stolen my dinner etc , I`m not cross for long.

is that having been laid up for 48 hours with an awful dose of flu, Bluebell didn't leave my side, kept me warm and didn't ask anything of me

i haven't got my boy yet, but the most wonderful thing about a Whippet is their speed, the total delirium on their face while they sprint at high speed. i also love the 360 spins they do. the soft smooth coat, big playful eyes. i absolutely love the slender, fragile frame but deep down you know they are not very fragile. and in the looks department a Whippet outdoes many a dog.

 

REALLY can't wait to get my boy!

Everything, even when my two puppies are greeting me at the door.

 

One with a mouthful of kitchen carpet and sections of the rug, the other with a mouthful of wallpaper as they systematically destroy our home!!!       they are ever so pleased with themselves showing me their handywork!!!! they soon drop whatever parts of home they are showing me then charge up to be seen, little tails wagging and wanting to give kisses and have cuddles.The conversation goes a little like ........ from me to them      .... from them to me            

 

So I just clean up the parts of home strewn around the place, sit down with them in whats left of home, having cuddles then wait for the next round of demolition upon my return!!!!

 

Don't you just love them!!!

LOL Thats what you get when you have an Aphrael puppy !! lol

 

Jemma

 

I had one of those! She was a little devil till she reached her second birthday, then overnight she changed into a little angel. That's my Dotty!

The best thing about whippets is that they are whippets!!!!! Love them all.  

 

AnneV

 

Oh No!

 

I'm in total agreement with AnneV again.

 

The best thing about Whippets are that they are Whippets and have no pretensions to be anything else.

The best thing about Whippets is their glass is always always brimming over and never ever only half full.

And the other thing is one is never enough.

They come in a huge range of colours.. one to suit everyone

And I totally totally love them with all my heart (that goes for my Salukis as well)

 

Whippety woo

 

 

 

And I totally totally love them with all my heart (that goes for my Salukis as well)

 

when you put it like that, trashing his coat seems such a minor transgression!

 

I do agree very much with the glass brimming over sentiment though, my two are the happiest little people I've ever met, they seem to find great pleasure in the simplest things....like chasing a blowing leaf!!

 

I'm going to try and be more Whippet like, live and let live...

 

 

Whippet Cuddles!

Seeing the beautiful faces when you wake up in the morning

whippet kisses

Whippet's when they play

Watching whippets run

The joy of whippets

They know when somethings wrong and they try and make you feel better

The comfort of whippets

The BEST thing about whippets is.............EVERYTHING about them I just love them to bits!!

The best things about my whippet are:

 

the welcome I get whether I have been at work all day or just returned from emptying the bins

 

Having a Permanently warm bed And really clean toes

 

Learning to share, especially food and pillows

 

Knowing I can trust him 100% to always be good natured and keep my mrs company when I work all night

 

Knowing I can take him anywhere and he will never do anything to let me down and will always be happy to have come along

 

I love the last sentence..( and i must say I do like your username )

That's such a  touching story

One of mine does the same if I'm ever upset; the other just stares at me and barks. He obviously doesn't know how to cope with an emotional female!

-  the high speed,flat out sprint

-  their velvety expressive ears

For me it is the speed but combined with their natural grace and agility. Sugden takes my breath away at times, stunning to watch.

 

I love the fact that they always want to be with or near me. Not necessarily in my lap, Sugden doesn't do laps but Ripley does, but he has to be as close to me as possible. I usually end up with Ripley on my lap and Sugden snuggled up to my side. I call them my whippet blanket.
