Our Nockie loves sleeping totally under her bedding when it's cold . I am concerned she could do harm to herself. I just don't know how she gets enough air.

I'm new to this Site so I'm sorry if this is an old Topic. Would you have any thoughts on this.

Well, my girls sleep under heavy covers and it does not seem to do any harm to them.

Is your Nockie girl or boy and can we please have some pics?

Bluebell sleeps under the covers as do an awful lot of other whippets apparently - it doesn't even have to be cold! Its a whippets natural place in life it seems

Puppy Nockie "Aslan Show Me the Money"

awww she's lovely, my gypsy sleeps under a big furry blanket at night time :thumbsup:

she has her whole head stuffed under it as i type

Awww she's a wee beauty :wub:

My jack russell Buster used to INSIST on having an old cardigan (with buttons removed) put over him when he was in his bed - he wouldn't settle until he was tucked in!!! :lol:

Tina doesn't seem all that fussed (yet!) about sleeping under covers - as long as she has the settee or our bed she's happy :- "

Neil was listening to his friends who were saying don't let them sleep on the bed or jump up on the settee so he tried to implement these rules with our girl.......it lasted ONE DAY!!! (w00t) She looked SO miserable and dejected at having to suffer the indignities of sleeping on a DOG BED I told him that whippets are different and I wanted my girl up next to me and, like I say, she was back up there within 24 hours! :lol:

Sounds right. Nockie lasted 30 mins in her crate the 1st night she was with us.

I do wonder how they stay alive breathing in their own carbon dioxide?

He has had 1 show with me and came 1st in his class. his next show is on the 14th and 15 june. he is such a love muffin! full of kisses and cuddles! :lol:

Well done at the show Vanessa! Your going to have a lot of fun showing him, given his breeding.

 

[BlackMoon Magic]
