Happy New Year!

Here's a happy whippet wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

No-Shopping Zone

Bailey & clan have no use for the boxing day shopping madness and instead spent their time out on the hill enjoying it's natural splendors.

Dashing Through the Snow

Bailey sends season's greetings to everyone. He plans to get lots of running in to work off the extra holiday treats.

Doze

It takes energy to run in the snow, so afterward Bailey takes a well deserved snooze.

Running Off Steam

It finally got warm enough to play in the park. After days confined to on-leash chilly walks around the block, Bailey does fast, happy circuits around his slower companions.

What To Do In Winter

Now that the cold weather has crept in, Bailey does the best thing a whippet can do under the circumstances.

Sitting

He sees a dog in the distance and waits patiently for it to come within striking range.

Snow Again!

Bailey doesn't let a little snow spoil his fun.

Run & Shout

Hey, that's MY bone!

Working Whippet

To help alleviate the labour shortage in Alberta, Bailey contemplates taking on a construction job. He's having doubts due to the inherent slowness of this piece of equipment, which doesn't quite resonate with his basic nature.

Remembering Breezer and Masque

Masque being her usual mellow self.

Yum

Bailey likes to snack on the berries and rose hips that are abundant on the hill.

Having A Good Day

A happy whippet in his element.

Run Away With Me

Bailey finds a new friend to run with.

Physics Lesson 2

Bailey demonstrates the principle of Intertia: a body at rest tends to stay at rest.

Translation: wake me up when it's time for dinner.

Physics Lesson

Bailey demonstrates the concept of momentum:
p = mv

p(Bailey) = 16.55 kg x 15.65 m/s = 259 Hn

Translation: keep out of the way!

Recharging

A quick snooze before the next adventure.
