@@doglegmedia How can you tell the difference between those breeds?

[@doglegmedia]

@@DarkPhoenixSaga Most of it is size - I think of the difference between Greyhounds, Whippets and Italian Greyhounds like car models: Greyhound is a minivan, Whippet a sedan, and Italian Greyhound a hatchback. Also Italian Greyhounds tend to have eyes that are a little more protruded, and slightly smaller snouts, compared to the whippet. I know this beauty is a whippet because we've got one - you can see him over on my channel - it's all I have ever posted! Cheers.

[@Micegift]

I suffer with Extreme anxiety, PTSD and was diagnosed last week with clinical depression so my mood has been awful for the last month or so. To help me cope, I took out a subscription to Paramount + I'm currently re-watching the whole Frasier collection and I am on season 8 episode 22 and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these clips again. Despite of the fact that I can barely cope with leaving my sofa, the absolute belly laughs I have had watching this again is really helping. I am really looking forward to the new episodes next year. 🥰

[@reneebarnes1957]

I also have PTSD and depression, so I can understand some of how you feel. I awake most mornings with plans to not spend the day lying across the bed scrolling through YT or playing games on my phone. To me it's frustrating to try to explain to certain family members that I don't have "normal" days. Washing dishes or taking out the trash are great accomplishments. Just want to hopefully assure you that you are loved even if you don't see it. If there is anyone you can reach out to, give it a try. May not be easy, I'm just hoping you don't have to go through this alone. It's dark in here. If you're a believer, prayer works. Blessings from Richmond VA ❤❤

+julia brink Perhaps, but *this* particular whippet is high strung and needs nerve meds. After all, Niles' dog was supposed to be a canine substitute for Maris, and they needed a breed who would resemble her (very, very skinny).
