We must be insane...

In case life wasn't busy and hectic enough, we thought we would add to it. We had talked about getting a puppy once Austin got a little older, but put it off because we new we'd be busy enough with Zach. But we'd been on the lookout again recently with Zach's birthday and Christmas coming up.

We had decided on getting a Whippet, since we'd read about their demeanor and how great they are with kinds. Plus, we'd need a nice calm dog to be able to be around Austin (who we've nicknamed Hannibal).

Christine found an ad in the paper for Whippet puppies that were already house broken and crate trained, so we started looking into them. The breeder told us the girl pup was the most calm, so we figured we had a winner.

When we went to check her out, and amid all the chaos of the other 8+ dogs in the house, she stayed laying down and chewing on her rawhide. Perfect! So we came home with her!

She and Zach are already best friends. :)

Welcome to the family Clarice!
