Some good reasons why we all deserve a whippet dog in our lives. Passion and Relaxation The intensity of whippets in the hunt or race will definitely teach you something about living your passions to the fullest. A whippet intense relationship with the couch will no doubt teach you also something about relaxation. These dogs love to be close to you. There are few things as unwinding and fulfilling (except maybe holding a newborn) as sharing your sofa with your whippet for a well deserved nap. You will never again have to feel lonely when you go to the bathroom. Whippets tend to follow you from room to room. My husband says that I walk around the house with my armed guards. Actually I bet my dogs think I am their armed guard or maybe they are just worried that I might vanish into thin air before feeding them dinner. Your mailman will be grateful to you for having a whippet dog. Whippets are well known to be good alarm dogs but they are soon convinced of people’s good intentions. It’s comforting to know that the mailman, the cleaning lady, your children and their friends won’t be considered chewing toys by your dog. Dogs have a wonderful sense of timing and like steady daily routines. There is nothing like your whippet doe eyes to make you get up from your computer for a good walk or a jog. A whippet dog will become your best personal trainer. As we could appreciate in our travels these wonderful little dogs are very adaptable to any of the circumstances they might find themselves in. In the country they’ll enjoy the great outdoors with abandon. In town they will be contented with a daily walk in the park and will sit at your feet in a restaurant or cafe, as long as you provide a comfy blanket to lie on. A whippet will happily play with the kids or keep them company for a nap on the sofa. Cleanliness Alarm I know there are lots of other good reasons to let a whippet dog in your life. Read below some of the contributions and then, if you have a favorite one and you want to share it, drop us a line. We’ll be happy to publish your view of what makes a whippet such a good companion. Pictures are very welcome and your whippet may be featured on our homepage as "Dog of the Day"!
From Robin an exceptional contribution:Why do you need a whippet?: Whippets are such wonderful companions! I've had my whippet for 16 years, yep you read right, 16 years. She has taught me well over the years. I have had her since she was a baby and we have lived alone the whole time. I don't need anyone or anything in my worldly life but her. I am disabled and she has had a natural ability since a pup to alert me to seizures before I have them. This has been a blessing for me, it gives me time to get to a safe place to have my seizure and she wakes me up with lots of wet kisses. I love her with all my heart and dread the day when she is no longer here with me on earth. Jennifer says about her Glenna: My 6-year-old whippet, Glenna is truly my best friend. She is affectionate, loving and understanding. She is great to snuggle with and travel with. Plus, she's so fun to watch because she does such funny things...sleeps in silly positions, remakes the bed daily to suit her taste, and buries bones in the furniture instead of chew on them. An unexpected reason to have a whippet from Mark: When I play frisbee in the park with my whippet lots of girls stop an talk to me. Actually this is how I met my girlfriend. Another excellent reason to have a whippet from Barbara: Why do you need a whippet?: Because a whippet won't let you get away with being a couch potato for very long! Anne, a lucky girl says: Why do you need a whippet?: Because they are beautiful, elegant and adorable dogs, and I wouldn't be without my four whippets and one greyhound Jo from UK writes: I love whippets because I don't like hoovering! I wonder if whippet coat hair drops at any time. Even if you tug it, it won't come off! Why are whippets your favorite dogs?Do you have a great story about this? Share it!
