I have two Whippets: Suzy Q, born May 16, 1997, who I've had since she was just 7 weeks old. She doesn’t really know that she is a dog. And Sam, who I brought home On May 7th, 2005, right before he turned 3 in August. He was supposed to be my father’s dog, but he's terrified of men, and my Dad most of all! About Whippets.
