She had access to the Norwich arts scene inc the Norfolk and Norwich festival. Others were Flavia Coelho, Ayanna Witter-Johnson, The Simon & Garfunkel Revival Band, Staff Benda Bilili and a range of classical. She really misses it.

Ally: I don't much eat fruit pies, as family don't make them and I don't cook. I do get savoury pies though.
You delicately pop the top off, then eat the filling.
Next is the roof as its a bit dry usually.
Finally you tear up the nice moist base and eat it blissfully.

Ally: I try and sell this to my parents, but a) they pay, b) they cook, c) they enjoy chicken parts that aren't perfect white meat.

Nice of them to get the house warmed up and lived in before you have to get up

I think the tape the vet uses against fur isn't very adhesive, so it isn't too hard to come off. Can't recall if they have something they use. But I'm there Monday for her boosters - I'll ask.
I asked my mother for suggested lyrics...
"Skinning the rat, skinning the rat"...

Nina looks like she's trying disassociate the entire time. Very "that is not my paw, I am not here".
I tried hibiscrub myself in something, and can confirm it feels no different than sticking a foot in water.

Ally: I had to Google it and that is really, really weird. How looks it been since it was removed?

We've done hibiscrub bathing and saline bathing.
My mum does the best paw bathing.
She stirs a jug of diluted disinfectant with Nina's paw whilst singing "stirring the pot, stirring the pot".
Optional additional line is "cooking the leg, cooking the leg".

Waaaaay to much effort ringing a bell, so much easier to just stand there.

It's an excellent statistic I think: 1 out of 3 whippets have been successfully house-trained.
In me and Freddy's defence, we did have terrible starts.
Daddy forgot to shut the living room door today, so I had to have a wee on the corner of the doorway. I had to. It's the rules.

The Trental gets stopped the moment there's any blood as it makes her bleed a lot. Bedding, rugs, carpets, walls & doors. When she one day crosses the rainbow bridge, I'm getting out my pristine duvet sets & the stair & landing carpet gets replaced. I don't line dry our bedding any more...

...She'd lost "multiple" other claws by the end of that January.
Our Twitter friends were very helpful and reassuring. @Greyhounds_PZ guessed SLO at the 2 claw!
Her normal daily regime is 3x Nicotinamide 500mg, 3x Coatex capsules, 3x Trental 400mg & 1x Biotin 2.5mg.

I'm guessing you too have declined having a toe amputated to confirm the diagnosis?
How many have come off now?
Nina broke the 1st claw 24.11.22, & had had 4 removed by 24.12.22 when we all said we reckoned SLO. We felt pretty confident in our unofficial diagnosis under the circs...

Who is your SLO hound? And even did it start?
Oh, important safety concern if keeping claws: Nina got infection in at least 1 paw at the beginning. The swab results were alarming: Enterococcus and E. coli.

Ally says that as an example of whippet honesty, I should probably mention that neither me or my late brother Freddy have ever managed it.
I deny the following:
a. that I'm not allowed in the living room unescorted,
b. that the inside core of the old TV stand's legs were rusted through...

False. There's been 3 whippets in this household.
Dylan's been perfect since he came home to my peeps. Sadly old age has changed this though 😕.

She goes in high these days for planned trips, but its amazing how much she can still play keep away with her paw when she wants to!

Whippets, I say without any bias, are the very best dogs to have. I also, honestly, say we are well-behaved, stoical, thick-skined and resilient. No-one has ever said "Oh, hell no, not a whippet". We're modest too.
