We spent last week visiting in-laws and parents in Devon and Cardiff. Muffin & Jonah had a great time running around the beaches and fields. Here are some pics.

Admiring the view over Paignton.

Muffin giving me a bit of a look - don't know why! :unsure:

Scrapping as usual! :blink:

Muffin in the lead

Jonah having fun chasing his shadow! :lol:

We met a little whippet called Blue. They enjoyed running about together.

Jonah thought he'd have a drink - couldn't have tasted very nice as it was sea water.

Something smells nice around here.

A few more and a video.

Muffin in silhouette. :wub:

Muffin & Jonah :wub: :wub:

Muffin settling in at my parents in Cardiff. :huggles:

Jonah doing the same! :huggles:

A short video on the beach at Barry Island. Jonah has decided he loves to chase the birds and he shot off at the beginning of this video after a seagull. :teehee: followed very quickly by Muffin who didn't want Jonah to have all the fun as usual! :- "

It was Goodrington. My parents-in-law live about 15 minutes walk away so it's great for the whippets when we go to stay! :thumbsup: Just a shame about the long, steep hill back to their house! :- " :wacko:

well i think our parents must live near each other, is that the fields on Roselands - i was walking there everyday with my lot last week.

Goodrington is one of our favourate beaches - shame we didnt see each other.

It is a shame we didn't manage to coincide! The fields were at Preston, just by Occombe Woods. My in-laws live in Wheatlands Road which is quite near the Leisure Centre. We don't get down too often these days (and never in the summer!) as it's quite a journey from Manchester but the dogs certainly love the beach when we do go. :cheers:

 

[georgina]

small world, my sister lives in Preston - a couple of roads away from Occombe Woods -

We go down as often as possible but same as you never in the summer - my parents come up to us then.

Glad you had a nice break - it looks a lovely part of the country to go :thumbsup:

and wow hasnt Jonah grown (w00t) hes a tall lad now and his colour is so handsome :wub: :thumbsup:

It was nice to see their little friend Blue, isnt it good to meet new whippets. it was lovely to see them running round the beach together. :thumbsup: oh and really liked the one of Muffin on the sofa :wub: :wub:

 

[Hilary & Hounds]

My word! Jonah's grown! (w00t) Both boys looking very handsome :wub: :wub: and the pics are fab! :thumbsup:

I was told that a couple of "foreign" whippets had been seen in the fields at Preston Down - that it my usual walk as I live just around the corner from there! At least it looks as though you had quite a nice day for it - just try walking up there in an easterly gale with the rain lashing sideways.

Georgina - is your sister the lady with the pretty fawn bitch and loads of little people who walks there about 8 in the morning?? If so, my Woody adores her dogs!

He has grown hasn't he (w00t) nearly as big as Muffin now! It looks lovely there, I love it on the beach with the dogs but with the great expanse of sand before them, why do they always insist on running straight for your legs :lol:

 

[whippetmad]

Lovely piccys,glad you had a nice time,especaily in the Westcountry :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[jue332]

Looks like Muffin and Jonah had a great holiday :thumbsup: Great beaches for whippies to run on :thumbsup:

 

[Nicola]

Glad you all had a great time. Nice photos...I like the silhouettes.

My in-laws used to live in Teignmouth. That red sand is quite distinctive of that stretch of coast line isn't it?

Lovely to see Muffin and Jonah having a good run round on the beach...I bet Jonah gives Muffin as good as he gets now. :teehee:

I'm not allowed to take the boys to my in-laws. Muffin and Jonah certainly look like they've got their paws under the table at your in-laws there

Jonah is just about as fast as Muffin now and I don't think Muffin likes it! (w00t)

The paws under the table are at my parents, not the in-laws! It's a nightmare going to my in-laws as my father-in-law won't let the poor :- " whippets on the sofas at all even though my mother-in-law is quite happy and loves them. :wub: The house is also very, very cluttered with books and videos and medicines all over the place - there isn't a single surface to put anything down on! And the garden is definitely not whippet proof. :sweating: So it's not a relaxing time at all trying to keep an eye on the dogs. But they do enjoy the beaches!
