Hi Guys, It has been a while since I posted anything but I need advice. One of my dogs, Hector, has just been diagnosed with canine Lupus, the SLE version. I know about this in humans as my Mum suffers with it but I have never come across it in dogs. He is very poorly at the moment. Do any of...

I thought I would give you an update on Hector. It is almost a year since he became part of my family - I can't quite believe it! As you can see he is a different dog these days. He still suffers a little with fear aggression but no more than other dogs do. As you can see he has 2 playmates so...

I took a phone call last night asking me to take in this little chappie. He had been living in a shed and the owner's wife said that the dog had to go there and then. As you can see he is very thin and just needs a bit of tlc. My plan is to foster him for the moment and then when he is fit...

I have to share this with you, whist fishing through the freezer looking for the bag of peas that I know is in there somewhere, I discovered a packet of tripe. My intention was to give it to them raw like they have their chicken wings but to be honest once it had defrosted I just couldn't bring...

I thought I would give you a quick update on my Scruples whippet, Hector. I have only had him since August Bank Holiday weekend but it feels like he has always been here. He was overweight when he came to me and didn't know what a lead was for but I'm glad to say he is looking leaner and his...

It has just cost me £30 in the vets to sort out Ash's eye infection. He and Hector have been play fighting so roughly that Hector has finally managed to do something that I can't fix with Lavender oil! I wouldn't mind but I had just walked back into the house with a very pathetic, sorry for...

And people think that whippets are so quiet!

The kids have all gone back to school so we have the park to ourselves again!

We have had Hector less than a week and as you can see he and Ash get on like a house on fire. He is still wary of other dogs in the park but he is doing really well. I'm really proud of Ash too because he guards Hector when he starts to stress over other dogs, doesn't complain when Hector takes...

Photo of Hector as promised. He must be settling in I just caught him with his nose buried in my shopping bag! :)

I just want to say a huge thank you to Scruples Whippet Rescue for allowing me to adopt Hector. He arrived yesterday, very shy, overweight and unfit but he is settling in nicely. My biggest problem is trying to convince Ash to back off and give him time to adjust. :wub: I will try to get some...

You know when you have one of those days when stuff just happens? Well I had one of those today. I took Ash to the park as usual, found his girlfriend, Milly and his mate, Dylan and caused chaos. Having run him off his feet I decided to take him with me on an errand. I had to return a No. 6 cake...

Is it just my psycho whippet or does yours dog go a bit crazy when it's windy? I have just been out for a walk with Ash and it was one of those walks when you wonder why you bother! I'll set the scene; it's an overcast, dry(ish) and rather windy day. I said to Ash in the car "shall we go see...

Hi! I think I have finally worked out how to upload a picture so here goes. This is my boy, Ash. He is 18 month old, his Dad is Vivs Quest and his Mum is my uncles bitch, Lye.
