Introducing Whiskey

Whiskey is a mixed breed boy who caught my eye on FB back in Oct 2012. He had already been at the SPCA for 6 months and there seemed no prospect of him finding a home anytime soon.
There was just something about his pictures that captured my heart and I knew it was meant to be. There was one slight problem: Whiskey was 1000km away at Uitenhage SPCA, Eastern Cape and their rules stipulated that I had to meet him in person to adopt him.
After months of online negotiations, I flew to the Eastern Cape on 4 Feb 2013, armed with a travel crate and a knot in my stomach. I had set out to collect a boy I had never met, hoping and praying that my pack would accept him, as there was no Plan B...
It was love at first sight:) We spent the night in a pet-friendly B&B and flew back to Johannesburg the next day. My pack accepted Whiskey with no hassles at all - it was almost as if they knew that he had nowhere else to go.
I love this pic of Whiskey (one of the very first ones I took of him in his new home). He seems so happy...
Whiskey's story is just a gentle reminder that, every now and again, it's worthwhile listening to your heart, even if your head can make no sense of it at all:)
