Still no word on Vivi, the Westminster Kennel Club merit award winner that decided it was not quite ready to leave the Big Apple Wednesday. Reports indicated the whippet, which is sort of small terrier-greyhound-like dog, led airport workers on a chase in their automobiles. The workers reportedly clocked the dog going 25 mph. That leads me to wonder why they were clocking how fast the dog was going? Did they plan on giving it a ticket? Even more curious is this paragraph in the story:
“Dog experts say that whippets are known to run off and hide for as long as four days before re-emerging, and some know how to hunt.”
By dog experts, do they mean ALL dog experts? How do you get to be a dog expert? And how do you get all of them to agree on anything? Do dog experts have “Dog Expert” on their business cards? Secondly, I wish one of these so-called “dog experts” would tell us what whippets do when they are hiding. Do they wear disguises? Do they get a hair coat and try to pass themselves off as Afghan Hounds? And as to the point that some know how to hunt, do they drink beer before they hunt like SOMEONE WE KNOW?
These are real hunk-a-hunk-a-burning questions that I have.
Afterthoughtitis: After checking the above link, I also found the story headline to be rather odd. It says the dog ran away at a high speed. 25 mph? That’s a high speed? Perhaps it is in New York City. At first glance it might seem a relatively fast speed for a dog. But according to infoplease.com, a whippet’s top speed is 35.5 mph. So actually the dog wasn’t even running at its supposed top end. So, I think we’ve beaten that dead horse (top speed less than 1 mph).
