Whippet Dogs

Wow! I am just so delighted that my Secret World of Whippets lens at Squidoo won a purple star badge. According to Squidoo, it's a really good honor to have. It's not hooked up yet and mine is only one of two lenses so far with the award. Supposedly, it comes with some really cool perks. I've only been on Squidoo for a few months and already I am getting high ranks and awards. I have to say that my experience with Squidoo has been extremely positive. It's a great venue to write about stuff you love to talk about. So if you aren't ... Read Full Story

It's Valentine's Day 2008. What better day to start a blog about something I am quite passionate about? What's my passion you ask? Whippets! This all started almost exactly one year ago with my first Whippet, Reebok. His full name is Ch. Andauer Reebok Ballistic RXT. Quite a mouthful. That's okay though. We just call him booboo.

A life of leisure and pampering from his humans. If he only knew. Perhaps he does. So really, what's this blog all about? Well, ... Read Full Story

I have to say that today's show was one of the best shows I have ever done! We had a special guest on who is involved as a volunteer for Whippet Rescue and Placement in Florida. After putting my show on hiatus for a while there, I think we came back with a bang. It was the most sucessful to date when it comes to live listeners. We even had one in the chat room. It's a slow process, but one worth pursing and continuing. I almost threw in the towel thinking no one was listening. The more people talk about things like rescue ... Read Full Story

Well I officially finished and emailed out the WhippetTalk Times for June 2008. This is my quarterly newsletter for members of the WhippetTalk.com Forums and whippets lovers. I am very happy with how this one turned out. It had a great article about Senior whippets and adoptions as well as an article about canine worms and adopting dogs in general. There was also a section outline the signs of heat stroke in your dog and what to do about it. All in all, I think a very informative newsletter. If anyone is interested in subscribing to the newsletter, you can sign up for it ... Read Full Story
