A whippet on the 58 Bus !!! by phil_howcroft

A whippet on the 58 Bus !!!

I've done a few shots from the 58 bus.

I sort of said that I would take Ruby on the 58 bus and do a shot of her.

Well Ruby doesn't travel well, so this is Poppy on the 58 bus.

We found Poppy in Nottingham today. She was hanging about in the window of a furniture shop. Quite a nice furniture shop !

She travelled back with us on the 58 bus, here she is peeking out of her travel bag, sat next to my wife !

When we got home Ruby was a little confused having another black whippet in the house. She sniffed her bottom and her nose and cried a bit when Jane started making dog noises !!

I took some cracking pictures today in Nottingham (building, people and urban landscapes) ...this is not the best ...but I decided to post this as it might bring a smile to a few people who follow me

Hello Poppy! :) Hope she behaved!

Now this is a mystery!! Who is Poppy & is she a permanent resident in your house..perhaps a Christmas present, she is all wrapped up like one !!! She looks very sleek & pretty & black ! Hope Ruby hasn't got her nose pushed out of joint !!

Now that's just barking! Hope you enjoy the new addition to the family and that Ruby gets used to her new 'playmate' - even if it is her that's doing all the running!

@happypat thanks Pat, my wife and I decide it would be a joint 'early' Christmas present to each other...she's sat beside the fire place now...Ruby is sat next to me as i type this, so I don't think she's missing out on any TLC :)

@heatherwatters heather thanks, my wife was worried that people might report us for cruelty to dogs because we put her in a bag on the bus !!!

LOL I must admit I had to double take on this - and then was wondering if it was real and if so she's a TEENY WEENY whippet! great shot Phil and it did bring a smile!

@sparkle thanks juliette, glad it brought a smile to you....not a brilliant shot....i posted it to make people smile :) ...seems to have worked :)
November 19th, 2011  
Love this - I had to do a double take too, and then enjoyed ready the story behind the shot :o)

@sarahhorsfall thanks sarah, the story is better than the shot i think :) :)

Oh look but poor little Ruby getting all confused! Reminds me of taking a kitten on the train from Manchester to Nottingham (for my sister). She was a gorgeous little thing and kept sticking her head out of the box - and theguard said if she saw her do it again he'd throw her off - you can imagine the response he got from the old ladies on the train!!

fun image, so lovely!!
November 19th, 2011  
I thought the dog was real! LOL! Good job!
November 19th, 2011  
Ah, but you're so cleverrrrrrrrr Mr. Phil!! Nice whippet on the No. 58 bus pic! No shortage of color on that bus, either! I'm glad Ruby really doesn't have any competition. :)
November 19th, 2011  
@phil_howcroft So not real then ? I thought she was until I read the other comments !!! By the way do you know where Frances has got to ?
November 19th, 2011  
LOL no wonder Ruby was confused!
November 19th, 2011  
I'm having such a laugh at your commentary Phil. Hope Ruby can manage the çompetition'O.K.
November 19th, 2011  
lol hope she enjoyed the ride ...nice shot
November 20th, 2011  
cool shot
November 20th, 2011  
Lol! Great capture!
November 20th, 2011  
Oh Wow how fantastic another whippet joins the family. Poppy looks so like Tinkerbell I had to look twice! And I thought black whippets were quite rare! Was she just dumped? Can't understand how anyone could do such a thing...Look forward to seeing more of Poppy
November 20th, 2011  
Having read the comments and your responses I know this is not just a stray you rescued but a genuine new member of your family. May you have many happy years with your whippet children.

Well you have certainly got folks confused with this photo Phil! Tell me this isn't a real whippet.......:-)

Presumably Poppy is too large to be nodding on the back shelf of the car? I really should have magnified the picture before assuming you too would be mad enough to take on another girl. Apologies for causing all the confusion or not spotting the shop collar!
November 21st, 2011  
Thanks everyone for joining in with the fun of this image....I must admit poppy looks rather 'real' and Ruby is still inquisitive about her :) @emmaroobers @caddick @Cherrill @allie912 @orangecrush @bk12racing @steveh @swilde @anron @jenrobcarr @kerristephens @happypat @meredithwb @judithg @sarahhorsfall

Now I really feel the fool. I thought this newest member of the pack was real for sure!
