Need a Good laugh?
Having been a slave to Whippets for damn near 20 years, I can honestly say the things listed on this link's list are pretty accurate and can be applied to anything with a similar body structure. The comment on elbows also applies to hips and hocks.
For those who don't want to bother with the link:
Eye: Doe-like, capable of conning the average owner out of half the food on his plate. Can convince the owner of total innocence even though the New York Times lays shredded on the bed.
Ears: Capable of hearing a can opener a mile away. Can never make up their minds if they should be back, up, down or sideways.
Mouth: From it come smiles, chatters, barks, whimpers and whines. Can inhale edibles in a flash.
Nose: Used to nudge open cabinets to get goodies. Always ending up where it doe not belong. Sneezing on owner’s glasses is another specialty…
Brain: Constantly looking for trouble to get into. Wheels always spinning and turning.
Crest: The part of the neck that is supposed to stop the collar before it shoots over the greyhound’s head.
Withers: Where you’re supposed to measure the dog’s height if he’ll stand still long enough.
Shoulder: The envy of Mr. America.
Elbow: The pointy object that grinds into your body as your dog settles on your lap
Tush: Potent exhaust system. Usually presented to humans for scratching.
Tail: Whip - deadly for anything at coffee table height. When it makes contact with skin, it can bring a grown man to tears.
Hock: Pointy thing on back of leg.
Chest & Waist: What most people would kill for. Waist thickens with age.
Toes: Dirt and mud collectors.
