You totally don't have to

As soon as Hubby gets out of bed, both whippets point their ears. They just know he's about to come downstairs. They know he will take them for a walk. So they are up and ready for him to enter the living area. They stand on the couch, ready to race to the door to greet him. They are so excited to see him and lick him in the face. He has to calm them down. From the moment he has put on his clothes and shoes, they won't leave him alone. It's the signal he's ready to go! and trust me: so are they!

Both whippets have a collar with their own personalized ID-tag. It has their picture on it and on the back, their name, birth date and our address and mobile number are engraved. Just in case they get lost.. Of course they are chipped as well, but bystanders don't have a device to read their chip, do they? I hope they will never get lost. That's why we are very particular about letting them run without a leash. We try to find rather remote and special places where no cars are allowed and where they can run without being harmed.

I like the way the dogs move their heads from left to right and back, when you ask them if they are ready to go for a walk. It's hilarious.. I think it's about time now. Let's go! You totally don't have to take them, but I'm very happy you do..
