Another "Friend"

Lana has a boyfriend!

Introducing...JET!

I cannot lie by your fire as I used to do...

So leave awhile the paw marks on the front door
Where I used to scratch to go out or in,
And you'd soon open; leave on the kitchen floor
The marks of my drinking pan.

You man and woman, live so long, it is hard
To think of you ever dying.
A little dog would get tired.

You were friends never masters, but friends. I was your friend.
I loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures
To the end and far past the end.

- Extracts from Robinson Jeffers poem - 'I cannot lie by your fire'.

A Sad Day

Yesterday was a sad day. Muffin the Jack Russell had to get put to sleep. We've had her for 13 years.

I love this picture of them both squeezed into the one bed.

Lana will really miss her friend Muffin.

Yuck

I just got married! Not long back from honeymoon, just moved into my new home and Lana the Whippet visted us and did a poop in it :(

No photos for this one...

Slow it down!

Check out that look! she's totally gangsta cool!
- Much more slow-mo whippet cam coming soon!

Where could Lana be hiding..

Bath time

If Lana needs a bath, I get one too...

Don't go out without a coat

Lana does not like being cold or wet

Fully grown Lana

Lana is pretty and she knows it.

Pretending to be shy...pose for the camera? oh no I couldn't...

Oh ok I guess I could!

It's a dogs life - Whippet sleeping.

1. Lana likes to sleep on her back, arms in the air.

2. Lana prefers to sleep under the blankets rather than on top of them.

3. Lana likes warmth and comfort which is why she's always on my bed! Whoops..careful! She really was stuck and I had to pull her out of there.

Growing up

Lana is growing up fast. This is her a little bigger than puppy. Her face is more defined but she's not a big dog yet! Nope.

Easily distracted...

Muffin is a bit grumpy with Lana however they are both easily distracted from their squabbling by food..as long as there is enough for the both of them!

When Lana met Muffin

Muffin my 12 yr old Jack Russell now had an unwanted roommate. Puppy Lana meets old Muffin. *imagine dramatic music*

Inside life

Having said that...my dad and I gradually started introducing Lana to inside life. We started with the kitchen but Lana soon found her way upstairs and like anyway Whippet...she quickly found the most comfortable places. This is puppy Lana on my bed.

Puppy Teeth

From a young age we discovered that Lana likes to chew on things. Like the arm of this recliner. In order to get another dog we told mum that Lana would be kept outside most of the time and sleep outside at night, so chewing wasn't really an issue.

Here she is! Puppy Lana the Whippet

She was born in April 2008 so we got her a few weeks after that in the summer. Cute, small and a little shy at first. Her favorite past times include sitting in the plant pots and hiding toys and things in the plant pots.
