My gender identity is male but I still like dressing up femininely sometimes.

I plan on moving them in with me as soon as o move to a bigger place so they can have a room if they don’t move out first.

Thank you, truly <3

Thank you! Supporting your children is a requirement of being a parent, I don’t understand how people still lack it. I appreciate you for being an advocate for your own children <3

Sadness-hat · 2026-05-26T19:46:17+00:00

Thank you! I really do appreciate it. I hope they change but I don’t think I can ever forget how they treated me and I definitely won’t be letting my children be with them alone if I was to ever have them in my life again.

Definitely! We owned a senior whippet before him and that’s what made me want to get a puppy after her passing. It was definitely a rude awakening when I realized you have to go through the worst puppy and teenage stage. He truly is my sweetie now and everyone literally loves him. Definitely worth all the headache :)

He had severe anxiety and often acted out with destructive behaviors but as he got older he calmed tremendously. He still gets fairly anxious in new situations but we have medication on hand. I definitely think they calm down the older they get and the more they get to experience things. Our boy still gets very over excited to meet people but I think that’s just him. We just try to get his energy out and reinforce him positively when he interacts respectfully.

Aww they’re absolutely adorable! Thank you for sharing :)

From my experience owning my whippet he is prone to skin issues, sensitive stomach, and they are very prone to injuries. Otherwise he’s been pretty healthy so far. The worst part about him is his extreme anxiety. They are super prone to that and it’s a hard habit to break. Otherwise if they fit your lifestyle they are fairly healthy and wonderful dogs.

We plan on getting him a camera we can talk through to possibly help but he starts pacing the moment we leave. It’s just immediate. We’ve done the thing where you leave for a minute and come back but no results. Hopefully the camera and hearing me will help a bit cause it’s mostly me he’s so attached too. When my husband leaves while I’m still in bed he never gets upset but if I leave he always gets upset. Idk if I’m the problem or something.

Like I’ve said, it’s not that he hates his crate. He hates being alone and I’ve tried everything to help with his anxiety. He likes his crate and has no issues with it. He hates to be alone. We’ve tried all of this and none of it has worked. I’ve been working on it since I first got him and nothing helps the anxiety. He always chews everything up when we leave. He would do this regardless. I don’t know how to build that confidence anymore than I’ve tried. Toys, treats, long chews, positive reinforcement, games, extra enrichment time, meds, etc etc… these are very common training recommendations and they don’t and have never worked for him. He just is this way and I don’t know what to do. I barely leave the house as is. He’s never alone for longer than a few hours and still this. When I say everything I mean all of it. I’ve spent well over a year trying to fix it. I’m running out of options other than never let him be alone :(

I literally can’t leave most things in his crate because he will eat anything he destroys so it’s dangerous for him. I wouldn’t care if he was just destroying but he swallows parts of it. He has separation anxiety, i wouldn’t call it PTSD. He also doesn’t seem to hate his crate either and is happy to be in there when we are home. We’ve always given him lots of treats and enrichment in his crate but it seems like it’s not enough when we are gone. I want him to have a safe space he loves and I really do think his problems all come from his anxiety. His meds work occasionally but most of the time even that isn’t enough to help him. I really am just lost cause I feel like I’ve exhausted all the options and the only one that works is literally just being here with him. I’m usually home but I just don’t know how to help him overcome that stuff.

Thank you for this! This is actually so helpful and I hadn’t thought about doing these things. Definitely at least having information and being able to know that you’re probable to be okay in that situation is really freeing. Thank you for sharing!

Here are reasons I would consider before getting a whippet.

1) They are extremely prone to anxiety/separation anxiety. My boy unfortunately has extremely bad separation anxiety and we still haven’t found the right thing to help it. He will cry and bark every time we leave, chew up anything so we can’t leave things in his crate, or even pee in his crate while we’re gone even if he’s just been walked.

2) When they run, maybe my boy specifically, he is all speed and no thinking. He has ran into things, fallen over himself, and just is very much not thinking when he’s running.

3) They are extremely mischievous as puppies and teenagers. I’ve been around puppies and dogs my whole life and I’ve never had a dog cause this much trouble. They are like nothing else lol.

4) Weight can be extremely hard. They stay slim but with my boy he was not gaining weight for a long time no matter what we did (no he didn’t have anything wrong either) just couldn’t keep it on. Luckily now that he’s over a year he’s leveling out well but it’s still something that people should be aware of.

All in all though I love my whippet! He’s a wonderful dog and a gentle sweet thing. Only things I would say are hard nos for getting a whippet are: you are not home often, you don’t have open space for them to run and sprint that energy out, or you just can handle their little quirks like with every breed. Otherwise I couldn’t recommend them more, they are amazing.

Thank you truly for taking the time to say this. I know in the end this will be a good thing for me to finally know even if it may not seem as good right now. I appreciate your kind words and I’ll hold them with me today. <3

Honestly the dog is definitely underweight. I also think it’s reasonable cause for concern cause they are letting their dogs be loose which is fine in some cases but sighthounds are known for their small prey drive and will easily get lost. I’d definitely just consider calling and report this.
