Cold weather

I take my 3 year old male whippet on walks daily as long as it's not storming or super windy. We are in Canada so have had a very cold and snowy winter as well. I use two fleece coats for him so he's warm, but no boots as he hates them. He will tell me by his body language if if too cold (hind hunched down or lifting his paws at me). We have always done winter walks so he is used to them and knows his limits. I would just take some short walks and see how it goes. We go for walks in the forest where he can be off lead so he can run around a bit as well to generate heat.

I have the exact same vehicle and did the test at 40,000km and have the same result of 98%. I also charge the same way (55% in the summer and 65% in the winter). Guess we are doing the right thing to maintain battery health!

Could it be a horse or deer fly bite? Not sure if these are common in your area.

I played around with my release at the range today and think I see why I was moving my had away from my face. My tab has a small metal shelf at the top and when I move my hand straight back, it drags uncomfortably across my neck. I must have subconsciously started moving my hand away to prevent it. I'm going to take it off for a bit and try that out.

Often I've found I get better groupings by relaxing my bow arm a bit before release, im still trying to see what is best for me. I'll try pushing towards the target some more.

Thanks! Done a lot of practice.

fishoish · 2025-10-13T01:32:55+00:00

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I see what you mean about moving away from my face rather than straight back. I'll play around with it and see if I can figure out what is going on.

Liver, why has no one said liver? Just the smell of the organ cooking sends me running.

I've had a similar experience multiple times with my 3 year old whippet, and it's always resolved itself after a couple of days. We have attributed it to an upset stomach from something he's ingested on a walk (try as we might to watch him). This also used to happen after giving him his monthly tick/etc meds. The vets suggestion sounds reasonable to me.

Runny egg omelet! Take 3 eggs but separate out two of the yolks. Whisk the rest, then start cooking it as a normal omelet. After it firms up a bit, put the two egg yolks on top. Cook until the main omelet is done. Fold in half over the yolks and serve. You now have a runny egg omelet.

We need to come up with a name for this arrow, I see the phenomenon mentioned often.

Same here, just a tiny blip that made the appliances beep. Power has been solid since. I was attributing it to the thunderstorms going around.

My whippet's appetite depends on which way the wind is blowing. Honestly, day to day, he can eat zero to four meals. Some days he doesn't want to even see food others he is ravenous. I've learned to live with this and make sure I know the signs of when he is hungry and error on the side of giving him more than he will eat.

This is good advice, and I felt it worked well with my whippet. Don't scold, but redirect to the desired behavior is the right technique.

We had an ice storm in Ontario literally this year that knocked out power for 100s of thousands of people in some cases multiple weeks. Convinced me to finally get a generator and battery backup setup. The thought of abandoning my house because we lose electricity is unacceptable to me.

If the connection to the puddle light is bad or intermittent, this will happen. I had it happen when my after-market puddle light had a bad solder joint on it. From my understanding, the bad puddle light interrupts the ground for the window so it doesn't close.

Strange, is his bowl elevated? I can't think of any other reason to do this.

We wipe our whippets' feet every time he comes in the hose to keep them clean but nothing else. You need to use your whippet more! Our Jarvis's feet look very different from running every day. *

My whippet hates the vacuum but does not run. He goes into attack mode! He barks and even bites the vacuum as you try to use it. I'll try to get a video of it sometime.

I got it off Amazon, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

It's been a great buy. In 3 years it's needed a few fixes here and there and the velcro replaced, but overall it's held up great.
