we are so excited because tomorrow we are going to adopt a 1year old black and tan dachshund for teddy to have as a play mate and we have been looking to adopt another dog just wasnt ready going through puppy training so this works out awesome! plus hes house trained, which is remarkable for the breed lol  we had one before but he died expectant and my hubby was very upset as he was his dog.

we went to the spca yesterday and when me and him locked eyes i felt something, i know its weird but it was like it was fate and i started to pet him and he was very sweet and was giving me kisses. when it was time to leave i talked to arthur about it and decided to go back today as he was still there. there was a couple looking at him but were mad and didnt want him because they wanted a female (who cares...) so i snatched him up and put him in the "getting to know each other room" he got into my lap and snuggled me and just kept looking into my eyes. i knew right then i had to get him. so sweet and gentle. just feels like fate to have him. the funny thing is 3 volunteers there knew we wanted him very badly but we didnt have the money to pay the adoption fee at that moment since we just got back from DC, so they put him on *secret hold* till we get paid tomorrow! i couldnt believe how nice and willing they were to help. they were just happy that he was getting a new home as he could be put to sleep with in the week or so. so once my hubbys pay goes through we are going to bring the little guy home. 

deep in my heart i would really want another corgi as we talked about getting a cardigan but i am saving his life and other dogs as well and we get a wonderful dog:)

so everyone we cant decide what to name him! lol we want air force names or just military names in general as my hubby is going into honor guard which only a few get selected. so far we are thinking of chief or sarge 

thank u!

o wow, thank u so much! that gave us a ton of ideas:) we just weren't sure of what to name him lol but now we have so many to choose from. i like cadet and many others lol now we just gotta write them all down and see which one we like the most :) thanks again!
also...see which one fits him...that will be the deciding part....when you call him that and he responds or it's cute....you will know! I have renamed pups as the original name didn't fit the personality!
this is very true, so far he is very sweet so a harsh/strong name just dosnt fit him lol all he wants is cuddles and food...he reminds me so much of teddy haha
This is a great list!!

I saw one on there that might work. "Nugget" But I think "Cadet" is cute too!

I for one, will be looking forward to hearing what the final decision is! : )
The name is decided! We have named him major as that's what my hubbys goal is being in the air force:)
YAY!!! I'm so glad you picked a name. I like that name. I'm glad I suggested it. It sounds good. Hurry and post pics :D
Lol he's so hyper I can't get a good one yet:P thank u for suggesting it! We both saw it and really liked it. He's major the dachshund:D
Congratulations on your new addition! And thank you for saving a life! I vote for Zoomie, I think its a great name for a dachshund. Please post pictures!
Thank u:) I am very glad to have given him a second chance and I'm sure he's glad to outa there lol I love the name zoomie but arthur really wanted him to be major. I will post pictures as soon as I can:) zoomie would have been perfect as he's always running around lol
Rebecca, I'm an adoption counselor at a shelter. I tell people, cuz I know it's so, that sometimes that "right" animal jumps out at you (figuratively). You know what you know. It's the right animal for you. I think it's more often the case with cats than dogs, since there are so many more variables with a dog than a cat. But it happens with dogs, and you just have to go with it. Congratulations.
Teddy, eh??

Since my name is Churchill, my beagle of course was Winston. The we got a pretty boy, English boy, a Springer. Since he was secondary to Winston, under him, so to speak, we named him...wait for it...Montgomery, or Monty, as the popular, pretty boy Brit General under Winston was known. It was kind of an inside joke, and riddle to others.

So Teddy is your first, eh? So who came after Teddy Roosevelt? or was subordinate? or was just skinny? Think military history to keep the family consistent.
Thank u:) when we locked eyes it was huge connecton, l believe its because we had a dachshund before but he died. A few weeks before we saw him I wished for another one as I love carrying them around lol he's super sweet and polite. He dosnt bark much and loves dogs and people a lot. And I love the names:) yes teddy is our corgi and I love him to death. I actualy got the name from teddy roosevelt lol and he did look like a stuffed bear as a pup
