My whippet always shakes & shivers, but always seems coldPaging Sweet FA, met an absolutely delightful greyhound today, former therapy dog 'pparently, but kept shiverin' an' a-quiverin' so much he rattled his teeth - owner said this wasn't because he was cold but because he was happy and 'pparently this is what they're all like, is this true ?
Yes it's a thing When they're really happy or excited, their teeth chatter. They usually need to be pretty comfortable with the people they're around. Blue does it when he's having a cuddle and you scratch him under his chin.Paging Sweet FA, met an absolutely delightful greyhound today, former therapy dog 'pparently, but kept shiverin' an' a-quiverin' so much he rattled his teeth - owner said this wasn't because he was cold but because he was happy and 'pparently this is what they're all like, is this true ?
Atm he's wearing his pyjamas during the day cos it's bloody freezing.
Of course - what was I thinking ? I should have said, apolsthink we need pictures...
How exciting! What was the rosette for? Is there a rescue group or have I read that wrong?
What a fine handsome dog
She came forth out of 63 of best working lab bitches. Not bad for her first ever dog show when she is used to being in the field working.How exciting! What was the rosette for? Is there a rescue group or have I read that wrong?
We have a prime pedigree boy here that looks like a hedge dweller currently. I do feel a bit guilty sometimes but he’s too wild to be shown.
He’s also just destroyed my duvet cover by jumping up for a cuddle after his walk.
Was delighted to see the OES win the pastoral group yesterday then had a little cry because I miss Lucy so much.
I have started laying the groundwork in my campaign. First, how much Humphrey needs a playmate. Then a subtle discussion about names.

Yes I do believe there is a rescue one, can’t remember what it’s called. We are currently deciding what to do for dog number 2, I’m tempted with a curly coated retriever but we shall see
10.45 pm update. These fuckers have endless energy and won’t stop running around wanting to play, and following us with excitement every single time one of us gets up and leaves the room. We’ve taken them for a walk and then let them out in the garden three times, and still as hyperactive as a coked up City trader on a Friday afternoon.
I was expecting them to be a bit shy if not to whine yearning for the previous owner for the first few days, so delighted they’ve immediately taken to us and don’t seem to miss their previous family (they’re just over a year old), but I hope they get depleted soon
To be fair, they (and they’re both boys) haven’t been neutered, which I suspect amounts for some of the extra energy and vigorous behaviour. As soon as we feel they’re settled enough with us we’ll be giving them the snip, which I’m sure will help.I had that same issue when I first took Kail home, hyper and following me around etc. I was told that his breed type chill out when they hit like 2 years old.
Lying bastards.
