Next on the birthday bandwagon is our jolly old boy, Jett (Stillwater Whisper Jett, RN). Jett also turned 11 this month - on the 11th of March. Like a good wine, Jett just gets better and better with age.

And we'll be celebrating one more 11th birthday in just a few days - on March 22nd - for Penelope (HT Penelope Pogostick, RN, JC, SR, OTR). There are not enough words in the English language to describe Penelope. She may be a little slower in stride, and a little grayer around the face, but she continues to be the straw that stirs the drink around our place - always keeping the other whippets (and us!) in line. She's always ready to work, ready to snuggle, ready to eat, ready to play, ready to go, go, go...

Still rolling along on the birthdays, the W Litter also celebrated this month - turning one year old on March 12th. We've gotten some really great pics of the pups from this fun litter. Here they are, in birth-order:
Frankie (Wingnut) - looking like quite the princess in her new birthday crown:
On her homecoming day...and one year later, in the same spot:
Sharing her whippet-shaped birthday cookie with housemate Leo.

Banzai (Andy Warhol) partied hard with greyhound buddy, Oscar, and whippet friend, Bing:
Oscar, Banzai, Bing - waiting patiently for birthday treats.

Oscar & Bing gave Banzai a new soft puppy toy!
And another great pic showing just how much these guys have grown - Banzai at one year and at 5 weeks old.

Wilson (Wilson J. Castaway) got a special birthday visit from 2 swans. He spent time watching them from all of his windows....
And had a run in the park...
...with his best friend, a standard schnauzer he's known since puppyhood.
Celebrated some more...
...and found some warm laundry to curl up in!

Winston (Wombat) and little sis, Windy in the sun.

Wynter (Whiplash)
She celebrated with a new birthday chew toy...and managed to save a bit of it for her pic!
***
Maebell (Whimsy) had a special doggy birthday cake...which she was willing to share with her housemates. Good girl!

All snuggled into the covers - just like any proper whippet should be!

And last, but never least, we've got Misu (HT Tiramisu Frangelico), sporting some lovely new clothes to withstand the cold winter storms in Maine:
