My rescue girly Emmy has zero recall away from the house and garden to the extent that I now don't let her off except in dog parks or when I hire the local riding school! Getting boring and expensive, not to mention that the local dog park is a mess and gets some undesirable dogs in there.. She...

I know someone did a similar thread a while back but I can't find it :blink: When I only had boy dogs I used to clean the patio flags with soapy hot water and once a week used Jeyes and there was never a smell. However since having Emmy there is a definite wee aroma that I can smell on the...

My new whippet x girly, Emmy, is a bit of a chewer and is eating her way through my supply of fleece blankets! I want to get some vetbed but don't know where from. I've seen some on ebay but want to make sure it's decent enough stuff and not just cheapy rip-offs (w00t) though of course I want...

Roscoe and Grover are two today :)) As Emmy was a rescue we have no idea of her birthday so to make things easier we decided her birthday would be the same day :lol: So today is Emmy's honorary 3rd birthday as the vet said she was between 2 and 3 - sorry if we've added a few months on you...

Well, we didn't think we were ready for number three but she found us and we decided after many emotional discussions that we would keep her :wub: Meet Emmy: She's not strictly all whippet, as I'm sure you can tell from the pic, but as most people I know on here are whippet people, I...

Grover is nearly two and has put a bit of weight on. Emmy is my recent addition, a stray who is pretty skinny and needs to add weight (but not get to Grover's size, obviously) (w00t) I can see all her ribs and her spine is like a dinosaur's back :( Grover currently has JW and a bit of meat...

Hello I'm currently fostering a whippet bitch, (possibly with some saluki in the mix) who was found wandering around St Helens, Merseyside yesterday and picked up by the warden. She was due to be sent to a PTS kennel to serve her seven days but I happened to be in the right place at the right...

Hello Sounds like an odd request but I'll explain! I have been fostering Dash Whippet from Scruples for nearly a month and he has a super forever home approved in Oxfordshire. The family want to see how Dash is with their other two dogs, preferably in a free running environment. We have...

Only two weeks ago I was advising someone else on here about whippets and cats but I'm eating humble pie now so here goes.... Some of you may know that I have two whippets boys who have been brought up with my elderly cat, Gus, and are pretty good with him (they may show interest at times but...

Hello everyone   I've just heard from one of the volunteers with Merseyside Retired Greyhound Trust who I also volunteer for. Our manager has put out a desperate plea to help a greyhound girl. We would normally find room at our kennels but for the reasons below this is not appropriate for this...

I've just been out with Roscoe and Grover and another dog was chasing Grover and really going for him. My two are both really friendly dogs and always want to play but I think since a big black dog went for Gro last year, he gives off wimp vibes whenever he meets those types. It happened two...

There is an advert on a well known 'secondhand' website wanting a home for a greyhound (aged 10) and a whippet (aged 5), both bitches. I have been in touch with the owner who seems very genuine, as I was worried that he was advertising them as 'free' on such a website and was concerned they may...

I should probably do a poll on this! I've got two whippies, a blue/white and a black. The blue/ white dog is a little shadow, always there when I move and quite clingy (whingey!). He's adorable but still very puppy like compared to his brother. The black dog is much more affectionate in a less...

Hello Most of you know about my Mum's rescue pup, Sydney, who is now six months old. I'm beginning to think he is related to Wendy's 'Scarlett'!!! :o In many ways, Syd has improved loads. He's great on the lead, good with other dogs, pretty good off lead, and is housetrained and sleeps well...

Sidney has been staying with us for a couple of weeks while my Mum looks after my friend's greyhounds while she's away. He went back to Mum's on Sunday and Ros n Grover heaved a great sigh of relief. Sid came back today for a couple of hours while my Mum went out, so I tried to take some pics...

Sidney is staying with us for ten days while my Mum is looking after my friend's greyhounds. Since my Mum has had him, he's always had diarrhoea to varying degrees, usually towards the end of the day. At first we put it down to the stress of three homes in three days :( , then meeting Roscoe...

As some of you know, my Mum rescued a 16 week old whippet last weekend. In many ways he's been the perfect dog but has one problem that we are trying to address - I'm not worried about it because I think it's understandable but my Mum got herself convinced it was a sign of someting deeper. I'll...

A couple of pics of the gorgeous new addition. His name was Marley (not that he answers to it!)but we know a few Marleys so it will be changed. I quite like ''Mostyn'' because my Mum and Dad were near there when I phoned them to tell them a pup needed a home :wub: They haven't really thought...
