My life is so high speed that I find I require goggles most of the time now.

I'll start wearing those too when I replace my lightbulbs with welding torches.

Very cool.
I wear shade fitovers that are really sweet, but mean people tell me they look like cataract surgery shades.
Yours look like they would do a good job keeping blood spray, entrails, etc. outta your eyes.
oh. Also sap, wood chips, etc.

If a dog wears them, I think they become doggles.

greyhounds wearing their greygles?
or, as my greyhounds are adopted, that makes them honorary humans, so they ARE goggles....guess that makes them gogs also

"They're Greyhounds. Yes, they're fast. No, they're Not Hungry."
One of our daughters has 3 Whippets and a Greyhound. They're fast but lazy, sleep 22 hours a day and then run like hell for 1-1/2 hours, spend the other 1/2 hour on food related activity, 10 minutes jumping for their food, 30 seconds eating it, and 19 minutes and 30 seconds checking the other dog's dishes too see if they left anything.
They didn't.

yep, they make great pets, are real low maintenance as they are basically couch potatoes that can run at 40mph when they feel like it.
whippets are a bit more energetic than greyhounds - my 2 greys sleep 22 hrs a day, go for three 1/2 hr walks (during which the male will run franticly for about 10 min in about a thirty foot radius around me & the female (she sometimes gets fed up & puts him in his place, she's a year older).
the remaining half hour is spent eating & playing with their toys. they will make an exception if visitors arrive, or if a puddytat tries to go thru the garden.
they both will get really wound up if a small furry anything is in range (they can see a rabbit at 1/2 mile). saw a deer in the field up ahead of us a week or so ago on one of our walks, it looked at us for the longest time as we approached.
it finally figured out the 3 deer me & my friend were walking were actually a bit more carniverous (they do look like deer with long tails from a distance). it finally took off - that got the doggies real excited.
my dogs were leashed, but hers took off at about 30 mph after it, if it hadn't been about 50ft from the tree line & us 100 yds away, he would have caught it. (he's caught one before)
her dog is a lurcher (greyhound cross) so is a few mph slower than mine (millie, my female averaged 36.02mph over the quarter mile in one of her races (she won at 10:1) before she retired last year) (480meters in 29.81 sec to be precise)
(the two with doggie goggles were not mine, mine don't have them yet) these are my two landsharks - in bed as usual.

when a 65lb dog grabs a deers throat while they are running at 30mph-ish, he gets venison burgers for a month - if the farmer don't see you before you wash off a very bloody doggie.
(some european deer are a bit smaller than them back home)
the main ones we have near here are muntjac deer
which go up to about 20 kilo's (44lb) and are just smaller than a greyhound
they have elongated canines which they use for fighting rather than their antlers.
that's the kind Sam (the lurcher) zapped
the one we saw last week was a spotted deer, quite a bit bigger, about the size of a whitetail, woulda took more than one dog to get that one
some of the bigger deer up in scotland are large, even by US standards...
