Proud pet parent of:

Connor,Tristan,Darcy and Mike

How we met:

I bought my whippet Mike in the spring of 2003 he was six months old at the time. Connor joined us in March 2005 he is an ex-racing greyhound who I had flown in from Madrid Spain. Tristan joined us December 2008 and Darcy Janurary 2009.

Pet likes:

My four hounds love their food and morning run snoozing on the sofa and the love and caresses I shower upon them. They are deeply loved family members. Nothing is ever too good for them.

Pet dislikes:

They dislike pittbulls,amstafs rotties and other breeds that are not sighthounds. Darcy and Mike are both well socialised and don´t care about other breeds of dogs. Tristan and Connor are typical ex-racers and had not seen any other dogs execpt other racing greyhounds. So I will keep working with them to alter their peception of other dogs at their pace and with the love, patience and understanding we will achieve this together.

Pet’s favorite spot:

Sighthounds love their comforts. Mine sleep in my bed on the sofas anywhere they want. My greyhounds sleep in each their own chosen spot. My whippet usually sleeps with me.

Pet’s favorite toy:

I would say this varies greatly depending on their moods. They play when they get hungry I call this their huntingmode. They are fed twice a day to avoid twisted stomachs and intestines.

Pet’s silliest habit:

Tristan chatters his teeth it sounds as if he is purring like a cat. Darcy barks it sounds like a sealion. Connor smiles showing teeth and there is a happy expresion in his eyes that lets you know that he is having fun. Mike dances on his hind legs whilst still having all four paws firmly planted on the floor.

Pet’s sweetest moments:

There are so manny that it is hard to choose a favorit one.

I crack up when my pet:

When Darcy runs towards me at top speed and all 36 kiloes of him bounces because he can´t stop and all end up in a heap on the sofa. Connor when he begins throwing stuffed toys in the air and then pounces on them. Tristan when he tidies up. I have two large boxes where I put all the toys in when I clean up. He systematicly takes them and puts them in his favorit sleeping spot that particular day. Mike when he tries to steal the food of the kitchen tops and gets caught.

My pet is unique because:

my four lads are uniqe because they get along realy well only Connor is neutered but dosen´t know that. They never fight and truely love each other. They are wonderful caracters who just needed a second chance.
