It's a Dog's World After All

Sgt. Pepper is a Whippet. Born just prior to Halloween three years ago, delivered by Santa on Christmas Eve 2008, he's been a steady companion ever since and a terror to the bedroom carpet, front door, two couches and back door blind.

Whippets are known for lazing around most of the day, with great bursts of energy as-needed. He and I walk a lot and rarely does he go off the leash. I like to run, but can't get past a decent sprint compared to his 30+ mph barrel.

On Wednesdays, in honor of Wordless Whippet Wednesdays, on the blog whippetsnippets.com, I will post a picture of Sarge. Perhaps he will say cheese to the camera.

Here's his normal daily position - lounging in the chair next to mine dressed in his thunder shirt to reduce anxiety -- www.thundershirt.com.
