This is our Ashes. In case you are wondering, she doesn't have blue eyes. They reflect blue from the flash and I couldn't figure out how to fix that.
Sophie and Ashes sleeping on the couch. Ashes loves to cuddle.
Some video that the girls took of Ashes so you can see her in action.
And finally the info on Ashes. We got her when she was 14 weeks old and she is almost 5 months old now. She is a whippet which I had never heard of until we got her. Whippets look like a small grey hound - skinny and fast. We got her from a breeder; but, she was a rescue dog because of an injury she received during birth. They think she may have broken her leg and although it has healed fine she has a little bump and she will never be a racer. This was fine with us since we didn't feel a need to have a dog run 30 miles an hour like racing Whippets do. I copied some info from Wikipedia on Whippets in case you are interested ..
Whippets are generally quiet and gentle dogs, and may be content to spend much of the day resting. Although especially attached to their owners, they are friendly to visitors. They are not prone to snapping, so they are good with young children. Because of their friendly nature whippets are known to have been used in aged care facilities. They may bark when strangers arrive but are not suited to being guard dogs.

Very cool to finally "meet" Ashes via the Blog. I LOVED hearing the girls voices on the video ... they sound so sweet.
No wonder they call them Whippets. Look at that tail. She looks like a really cute dog. It's so cool that she cuddles. I bet Sophie likes that a lot. Our dog alas is too big and he's not aloud on the new couch. Poor fellow.
Bill, I remember something about humans being the only animal dumb enough to clean up another animal's poop. The girls outnumber you pretty bad, don't they. Happy poop scooping!
