Here you'll find a weekly (or so) spotlight of a dog/puppy from our Moodyblues Whippets family. and what they've been up to! (Look for special "guest vignettes" occasionally as well!)
This week's pup of the week is Tess, our first "guest" appearance! (she's sort of family though...my parents own her)

My favorite treat is  whatever you have on your plate or in your hand right now!

My favorite toy is my stuffed bunny
When I grow up I want to ...I'll be 14 years old this year! I don't need to grow ANY more
Something interesting that you might not know about me: I was adopted by my current family when I was 8 years old, when my previous owner (whippet judge and breeder Harriott Nash Lee) had to give me and her other whippets up due to her age/health. And, my owners only recently discovered I was a Canadian Conformation Champion, multiple group 1st winner, and multiple best puppy in show!
This brought a smile to my face and an ouch to my heart. Tess and her sister Madison lives with me for a while until she moved down to live with Harriett. Give her a hug and kiss from me. Diane (from Manitoba Canada where Tess was born).
