4 years ago today I was toying with the idea of getting a whippet. A proper one, from a good breeder and had plans to start looking/getting on waiting lists in the New Year. And then I saw the advert for Dylan, on a free ad site on Facebook with about 20 members.
So obviously I rang in sick and went to see him. The first time I ever laid eyes on him he was rolling what I thought was a toy down the long hallway. Turns out it was a miniature Yorkshire terrier he was ragging about like a ball! Which was the reason they were getting rid of him.
He was supposed to be KC registered and his mum was and had won quite a few races. His papers never arrived and he is too tall and his arse is way to fat for a KC whippet, so god knows what daddy was! Hes clearly working bred through and through.
And thats how a working bred whippet ended up in a pet home with someone who had only ever had gun dogs. Setters and spaniels couldnt be any more different to Dylan!
For 6 months I cried at least once every single day at the horrific things he did! He once ate a bloody light bulb and that is soo not the worst of his crimes! Someone once asked me if I'd pissed off a small shape shifting demon, and I couldnt honestly say I hadnt! I would cheerfully have rehomed him, but I couldnt think of a single person I was prepared to inflict him on! Thanks to an incredibly patient and helpful friend who is a behaviourist I completely changed my life and the way I thought, and the way I managed him and things got better.
I can laugh now about the things he did, its a bit of a hollow laugh to be fair, but its long in the past. He is literally the best thing that has ever happened to me. I adore him beyond words. Hes the reason I learnt to walk again after my accident, and the thing that keeps me going, the reason that I dont just give up.
Hes a horribly spoilt princess dog, not that he knows it. He assumes that everyone and everything is nice and will love him and that having 2 human slaves is his right. I'm glad that he doesnt and wont ever know that there are bad people and bad homes out there. Hes currently asleep on the floor on a bed, with a duvet over him, that I've adjusted twice so its in just the right place. Hes making his orgasmic sex noises so we all know how comfortable he is, and thats how it should be.
Everyone should have a dog like Dylan at least once in their lives! Sometimes the difficult dogs are the ones that teach you and give you the most. Hes the best stupid decision I have ever made!
Obligatory pictures of the love of my life doing the things he loves most, running at 40mph and sleeping :lol: :

) i used my STUDENT LOAN to buy a labrador puppy from a guy who met me in a carpark with 3 pups in the boot of his car! I lived in a bedsit! My parents disowned me funnily enough!
