New addition to the Haver dog clan.


I was informed I would be getting a new whippet sister next month. I am going to meet her tomorrow...I hope she isn't too annoying. Her name will be Pippi Mango Biddie Haver.

Whippet Yoga, or Doga as it is known.


Doga combines massage and meditation with gentle stretching for dogs and their human partners. In chaturanga, dogs sit with their front paws in the air while their human partners provide support. In an “upward-paw pose,” or sun salutation, owners lift dogs onto their hind legs. In a resting pose, the person reclines, with legs slightly bent over the dog’s torso, bolster-style, to relieve pressure on the spine.

Lazy Sunday By The Pool


Today was a day for relaxation. I layed out by the pool, went in the jacuzzi, made a little pee pee and a little barky. Good times.

Summer Is Here


Today we had record breaking heat in Riverside, 106 degrees. I cooled off by playing with the hose and eating popsicles.

Here's one for the guys...

Top 10 reasons why a dog is better than a woman.

10. A dog's parents will never visit you.
9. A dog loves you when you leave your clothes on the floor.
8. A dog limits its time in the bathroom to a quick drink.
7. A dog never expects you to telephone.
6. A dog will not get mad at you if you forget its birthday.
5. A dog does not care about the previous dogs in your life.
4. A dog does not get mad at you if you pet another dog.
3. A dog never expects flowers on Valentine's Day.
2. The later you are, the happier a dog is to see you.
1. A dog does not shop.

One for the ladies....

How dogs and men are the same.

1. Both take up too much space on the bed.
2. Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning.
3. Both mark their territory.
4. Neither tells you what's bothering them.
5. The smaller ones tend to be more nervous.
6. Both have an inordinate fascination with women's crotches.
7. Neither does any dishes.
8. Both fart shamelessly.
9. Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut.
10. Both like dominance games.
11. Both are suspicious of the postman.
12. Neither understands what you see in cats.

I laughed, but only because it was true.

Ashley Whippet-Pioneer Disc Dog


Ashley Whippet (1971-1985) was the first great disc dog and the winner of 3 consecutive Canine Frisbee Disc World Championships. Ashley became famous when his human, Alex Stein smuggled him into Dodger Stadium during a nationally televised game. The two hopped a fence and ran to the field for an 8 minute exhibition that included 35mph sprints and 9ft leaps into the air to snag frisbees. The crowd was in such awe that the game had stopped and the announcer even commentated.

Ashley and Alex helped to organize the first Frisbee Dog World Championships that was later renamed the Ashley Whippet Invitational. Ashley became so famous that he was featured in a documentary, performed at the Super Bowl, the White House, and even has 5 ice cream shops named in his honor.

I have taken up frisbee with aspirations of being like Ashley, but I think I need more practice!

I have decided to start this blog to tell stories of adventure, danger, deceit, revenge, sports, true love, and the quest for training my human.

Just today I was tricked into taking a bath. I was lured by promises of a delicious pig snout, but what I got was shaved whiskers, water in my ears, drained anal glands, and drenched with cologn. I got her back when she left to the movies by knocking over the trash and eating leftover chicken.
