Not Very Lady Like for a whippet !!

Sorry for posting another whippet picture, but I was struggling for an image today.

It's day two of our summer, temperatures peeked at 30C yesterday and 28C today , but that's it, summer will have gone tomorrow as temperatures will be back to 20C and cloudy !!!!

Anyway if you are a whippet, the best way to stay cool while sleeping appears to be ... lie on your back, legs in the air !!!

Not at all ladylike for a young lady, but hey it seemed to stop her panting. Her comfy quilt bedding appears to have saved Ruby from embarrassing herself in front of all the 365 community.

I wasn't going to post this picture, because as a photo it is not that good compositionally, but then it did make me smile and I know there are a lot of dog friendly 365 people out there who might like the image !

Note her little 'fluffty furry toy 'next to her in bed for comfort !!!
haha classic..
you've had it easy.. 33 in London today. just checked and 25 now..!!!!

Hooray at last it is here and I am not disappointed - a fab shot so typically whippet on a red hot day, what an awesome six pack - Pearl has a really nice tummy too. I wish I could tickle Ruby's tummy I am an expert!! They even tolerate cold water being sloshed on the brisket and tum tum when it is this hot :-)

Puh-lease on the temps. LOL. I can't stand even walking to the end of the driveway to the mailbox. ;)

I love your Ruby pic, Phil! She's so cute, even belly up! The dogs just don't seem to understand our human "that's not very lady like" saying, do they?

Keep cool!

Love how your captured Ruby in a lounging position!. Great shot.

I imagine that that's also Ruby's satin slipper

Ruby looks so relaxed and content, the photo made me smile!

classic pose! She looks so contended I bet she cant even remember those dark days before she was adopted into your loving family.

I love how whippets nad greyhounds lie like this - like ALWAYS!!! When Milly is in this pose I normally creep up on her and bury my head in her tummy - this normally turns into a play fight - great fun!! It's a good sign of compliance and comfort when they do this...she's obviously a very happy dog! cool shot - your commentry re the blanket covering her modesty made me laugh
