Greg and I have wanted a second dog for a long time. Several times, we came close to getting a friend for Lily, but circumstances didn't quite work out. It's a good thing for dogs to come in pairs. Lily struggles with separation anxiety each time her pack (Greg and I) leaves her, and now, she has a little brother who will remain with her.
Keiffer is a 4 1/2 month old whippet. Whippets are very similar to Greyhounds; they are fast, they love to sleep, and they love affection. Greg and I have been looking at Greyhound rescues near us, and we were planning on applying for a dog when we got back from our trip to Sacramento for Christmas. I was telling a girl I work with about our plans, and she informed me she knew a lady who had whippet puppies. Greg and I initially didn't think it was a good idea, but we spent several days discussing all the pros and cons. We made the trip to see Keiff last weekend. We asked a lot of questions. We took him home.
Keiffer follows Lily everywhere, and they have already wrestled several times. Right now, they are sharing a dog bed. Greg and I might just be stuck with sighthounds. They are fantastic dogs.
