Whippets actually aren’t particularly common in this country. I hemmed and hawed over this because I would really prefer to rescue a dog, but also want to have the puppy experience while I am in a position to devote enough attention to be a sufficiently responsible owner. We’ve been in touch with a few breeders over the last six months, and earlier this month we finally chose a puppy. (One of the most difficult decisions of my life, that’s for sure – it wasn’t the choosing so much as the not choosing, and we’re not in a position to bring more than one dog home. Yet.) We had already planned a holiday up north for our anniversary next month, but look forward to bringing him home in mid-October on our return. I can’t wait!

Thanks to “Grab a Seat,” we managed to get return flights for under NZ$100 apiece, and so will be spending Queen’s birthday weekend in the capital. Alas, the clock tower apartment in Wellington is now privately owned and unavailable, but I think we found a decent alternative in The Keep. Very much looking forward to this trip!
