Poppy 'Popstar' Whippet Poppy is a little rescue whippet. Her favourite things are chasing stuff, agility and snoozing! My story. Five and a half years later I'm still here!!

I was found abandoned at about 4 months old, very skinny with a broken leg. My mummy and daddy humans (Karen and Mark) took me in for 4 weeks until my leg healed and I could get a real home. (good human training skills!!!) and have been joined by my sister Willow a (rather dim - but pretty) Saluki, also rescued 'temporarily'. This is our family and story, (when the weather permits getting out of b

ed for such activities!). I would just like to point out that I am the brains of the operation (though no slouch in the looks dept!) and Willow is the looks, there are also some cats and chickens involved.

It is with a very heavy heart I have to say we lost our special girl yesterday.

We are heartbroken but know she had the best life and has left us with many very special memories.

Hi everyone, sorry it's been a while. So the world decided to go a bit nuts just at the time we were planning our 'big move' to Cornwall. Well, itshappening, just a bit later than expected. Having sold our house we are currently temporarily homeless and living in a holiday home whilst waiting for our new home to be ready for us. We plan to do a bit of exploring in readiness but it keeps raining!!!๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐ŸŒง๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ™„

Thankfully the sun made an appearance this morning as we had a wintery Christmas Whippet Walk to go on๐ŸŽ…. We had a great time (despite getting muddy paws! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ) and have finished the weekend off with a snooze on the sofa ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜ด

We had a busy weekend just gone. Our beautiful Willow went to hospital on Friday for a heart scan to check out her heart murmur. She's fine, she has early stage Mitral Valve Disease so we just need to monitor her for now and she will go back for another scan in 3 months. Most importantly she's still allowed to do zoomies!! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜
Harley and Daisy went off to a very chilly agility show on Sunday (me and Willow stayed at home in front of the fire!๐Ÿ˜‰) They did good and Daisy's trophies were full of treats! (She has agreed to share them ๐Ÿ˜Š) Harley's rosette is of course a very butch shade of pink!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜œ

It was my last show of the season today so I thought I'd finish off in style!! 2 1sts a 2nd and a 3rd - the pups didn't do too bad either!! Harley would just like to point out that most of his runs were done as training runs and that's why he only got one trophy and rosette........๐Ÿ™„
The pups have some more shows to do but I get to stay at home warm in bed while they set off in the cold and dark ๐Ÿ˜Š

We have been making the most of the sunshine this weekend (we even managed to avoid the rain - mostly, Harley may have got a little bit wet!) at an agility show. Thing started off a bit dodgy with lots of eliminations but got better. Harley finished Saturday by winning his agility taking him up to grade 5!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ We got some nice places today as well ๐Ÿ˜Š

Daddy had lots of paperwork to do today so we decided to leave him with secretary Willow and head off to a last minute agility show. We had a fab time and Harley was awesome!! He got 2 1st places and a 3rd place!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜Š Daisy had obviously had a few too many blue smarties and was mostly bonkers!! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคก I had a blast - even if I did have to wait til lunchtime to do my run!! ๐Ÿ™„

We left home ridiculously early yesterday to go hunting for dragons in Wales ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ˜‚ Daisy managed to catch one, winning one of her agility classes!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ‘I got to have run as my toe is feeling much better though Mummy made sure I did the lowest possible jumps just to be safe, I did fab , of course ๐Ÿ˜‰, Harley did some awesome stuff too a d came third in his agility. Mummy, well she did OK but made lots of mistakes, we'll give her the benefit of the doubt and blame the long drive. ........
She'll have to pull her socks up though as Daisy won up a grade yesterday and is now grade 6!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜‚

So I am still out of action with my bruised toe - it's not as bad as it sounds, I've basically been snoozing and sunbathing all week ๐Ÿ˜‰ it does mean no agility though ๐Ÿ™

So after a couple of weeks break from shows Mummy headed off on Saturday morning with Daisy and Harley leaving me at home!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ
I've been a bit poorly this week and have also managed to hurt one of my paws so I stayed home with Daddy and Willow. Anyway it seems they managed OK without me! They both got a second place in their jumping classes (Daisy's was a combined grade 5-7 class which Mummy was very happy about) and Harley came 7th in his steeplechase. Harley would like it to be known that his pink and black 7th place rosette is a very tough, manly sort of pink......๐Ÿ˜‚
Apparently I may be off to the vets tomorrow to see if they can figure out what I've done to my paw, cos I'm not telling......

Our Story

My story. I was found abandoned at about 4 months old, very skinny with a broken leg. My mummy and daddy humans (Karen and Mark) took me in for 4 weeks until my leg healed and I could get a real home. Five and a half years later I'm still here!! (good human training skills!!!) and have been joined by my sister Willow a (rather dim - but pretty) Saluki, also rescued 'temporarily'. This is our family and story, (when the weather permits getting out of bed for such activities!). I would just like to point out that I am the brains of the operation (though no slouch in the looks dept!) and Willow is the looks! Update - sorry its a bit late, a few years ago we were joined by not one, but two pups (not advised and definitely not for the faint hearted!!), Daisy and Harley. Life since then has been a bit of a rollercoaster! We are and always will be though a slightly disfunctional but very happy family. Join us on our journey! :-)
