The life of 2 whippet pups

The pups were really starting to look like grown up dogs and their bond just got stronger and stronger

They went through a really gangly stage!

We decided to take them to the annual dog show in Shetland for a bit of socialisation and fun, amazingly to us Caleb won his class. Him and my daughter then won best young handler then Caleb went on to win best dog in show!!!!

I often foster feral/unwanted kittys. Salem came to me as a timid kitten who was very frightened of people, the whips soon won him over though!!

I had a couple of weeks of sulking and crying from Caleb and mums male dog came to stay for the duration, when Tara came home for a test run to see if her season was over, it clearly wasnt as the doggies were tyed before you could say STOP!!!!
I had planned to have a litter from the pair at some point but this time wasnt planned, however they were seperated again and we thought perhaps she hadnt taken.

We went to the dog show again, Caleb could not enter his previous won class, however Tara came second in her breed class :)

Caleb was entered into previous winners...............and scooped the cup again! Best dog in Show for 2 years running :D

Little Tara has a mind of her own and mostly has to be kept on the lead when out and about, however Caleb is very obidient and stays close, I started taking him to the beach whilst I rode the horses

How lovely to read such a beautiful and heartwarming thread with fantastic photos. I know it can get a bit chilly in the Shetlands, but it would seem to me you live an absolutely idyllic lifestyle!!
