    Default She Needs A Name!!!

    So, about a month or so ago, we attempted to adopt from the shelter. Fox was a really good dog and all. But if it's possible, he was too happy and too hyper for the baby. Being that he was medium size, he towered over her, and scared her. She didn't want him anywhere near her. So, we returned him to the shelter after fostering him for the 3 days. When he got back to the shelter though, he had a WAITING LIST ready for him. He got adopted right out. Great dog, just better suited for older kids.

    Friday, I was checking Freecycle and seeing what people were offering. There was a lady that needed to get her 3 puppies in new homes. It seems that her male Dachsaund (who was supposed to mate with another Daschaund that she has), fell in love with her white Labrador Retriever. LOL. So, long story short, they mated (I STILL don't know how the hell HE managed), and 3 puppies were born. I called her right away to ask her about them. There were 2 females and 1 male. She said that the smallest female would probably be best for us, since we wanted a small dog. She figures that this one will be around her father's size when she's full-grown (he's about 10-12 lbs). So, we set a time for today when we could go and meet the puppies and see if we wanted to bring one home.

    Of course, we were already planning on taking her home. We went out to Petco last night and got a ton of stuff for her, necessities and toys.

    We went there around 1 today and Delia fell instantly in love with her, and the rest of the dogs as well (puppies as well as the adults). It's good for her since this dog is very small and won't intimidate her. Now I just have to watch for Delia trying to intimidate the PUPPY.. LOL Don't think she will though---she's been her shadow since we brought her home, showing her where her food and water are, handing her toys to her, trying to coax her into her little bed, all that.

    Now--The dilemma. We need a name. I'm totally stumped. Like I said, she's a Daschaund/Lab mix (They're breed is officially called "Daschador"). She's chocolate in color with light caramel markings on her face, snout, feet, and undercoat.

    She pees when she gets excited (and we're finding out that she gets excited A LOT.. lol), so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Dan wants to name her "Penelo-Pees", because he was cleaning up after her while I went shopping.

    Pics below.. Throw any ideas you have at me!

    How about just Penelope? That is a pretty name and you'll always remember the "pee" sound at the end means something else too! What a cutie she is!

    I like Nicky.

    It's harder to name female dog then male ones. Then again it really doesn't matter since people can't usually tell what gender they are until they ask.

    I also like forgein names. Like Mizu (Japanese for water)

    Our first dog was named Kimo which is Hawaiian for James

    One of my best friends is actually named Nikki.. LOL. Ironically, she also has a Dachsaund (as well as 2 Labs and a Blind/Deaf Dalmatian). I like the name and all, but I can't see this pup as a Nikki.

    We really like Lucy (Thanks again, Honey! *muah*), so we have dubbed her so.

    Now I think if we can get her potty-pad trained at least, we'll be golden. Everytime she gets excited, she goes. But she's happy, and Delia's happy.. That's all that matters, right? LOL (::cries:: my poor carpet)

    I looked at him, and immediately thought Charlie. I know she's a girl, but I dunno, charlie seems to suit her to me.

    Ooooh.. I like Tenshi too.

    This is an excellent breed for kids though, I tell ya. They're tiny, so they're not intimidating to toddlers, and they're cuddlers, big time. Delia is excellent with her, and vice versa. They follow eachother around, and Delia's always trying to get her to eat from her bowl (that's the Sicilian in her, always wanting to feed someone.. LOL).

    Last night, I had Dan bring the puppy to bed with him and Delia just until I could clean up (deodorize the carpet.. oy vey), and then I was going to take her back out into the living room with me. I went in, and couldn't find her. I woke Dan up, and we both looked to the right.. There was Lucy, on the little pile of dirty clothes that I had sorted for washing. LOL Didn't have the heart to move her, so needless to say, Laundry didn't get done last night, and she slept in the bedroom with Dan and Delia, right on the clothes.

    I'm probably just going to puppy-pad train her. She is scared to death of the outside right now, so I'm not going to push her on it. She's so little anyway, and even when she's full-grown, she won't be much bigger than she is now (just a little fatter, of course). As long as I can get her pad-trained, I'll be happy, and my carpet will be happy.

    I think Makayla would be wonderful with a puppy like this, Venus! It's so cute to watch Delia with this one. She's like a little Mommy.

    She is ADORABLE!! I like Lucy, very cute cute cute! I'm one of those freaks who treats her dogs like fur-babies. Oddly enough they love it.
    When my Westie was a puppy...potting training...Oh man! I tried those pads...she would stand on the wee wee pad and hang her butt off over the carpet and go!! ARGH!!! I invested in a great carpet steam cleaner, swear it's been the best thing I ever bought after having 2 puppies!
    Even with the clean up, a puppy is worth it! Enjoy your new fur-baby! Post more pics too, I'm curious to see what she'll look like full grown. Never have seen a Daschund/Lab mix.
    I'm so excited for you! Delia is gonna love her new best friend.

    Please keep in mind that there is a toddler that will be yelling out the puppy's name. When my oldest daughter was a toddler. We had a kitten named Pus-In-Boots and everytime my daughter would yell out her name it was here Pussy. We were calling her boots, but I guess on the visit to the vets she heard me tell the lady her name. We had to give the kitten away. I was so embarrassed when we had people over (esp. dad) and my daughter goes around yelling "Here Pussy" looking for the kitten
