My friend, Brenda, had a call this evening from a retired teacher friend, who knew a lady whose great nephew was followed home by a dachsie a while back. She already had three dogs, and her friend a block away, offered to take him. This little guy is approximately 6 years old, a very short legged mini red, approx. 8-10 inches at shoulder and about 21" long, housebroken, neutered, well mannered, loving, calm, and gentle. Well, long story short, Brekke and I are talking it over, I am expecting a call back from the woman, and we want to go meet him. I am still not back in my home, so this may not happen unless that occurs quickly, so I may need suggestions if he needs to go into rescue, BUT... I am thinking of names, just in case...
How exciting for you both... I hope things work out and Brekke gets a new brother.... :pray: :xfinger: EmmyLou sends puppy kisses to you both...
Doxapult....into position.....aim....................... :xfinger:..............Wouldn't it be wonderful if this worked out? Dashiell is a fine boy name.
That would be wonderful. The best thing ever would be to get back in your home AND get a brother for Brekke. I love the name Sandi mentioned. Sounds soooo handsome... I can't wait to hear what happens.
Wow - Julia - that is great !!!! Hey - have you had boys before ??? LOL - just remember all girlies !!! Keep us posted !
Hey, ladies! I did not hear back yet, but I understand the foster home does not accept calls after 9 pm, and it was almost that when I finished talking with the aunt whose nephew was followed by the dachsie. Well, Barb, my very first all-my-own dachsie was my b&t, Friedrich (Fritz), from "The Sound of Music". That was 1972-1980. He developed IDD at the ripe old age of 7 and the vet where we were, offered very little hope - less than 10%, that surgery would even help, so he was pts. I am pretty sure I put him on Dodger's list, along with Heidi and Gretl Angels.
I like Dashiell, Sandi - was considering some names from my scifi collection - where Siglen, Sorcha, and Brekke came from...
So exciting!! I hope it all works out! I bet Brekke would love a brother to play with!
WOW Julia....I am very excited for you and Brekke.... :xfinger: hoping this all works out for you :pray:
Oooooh, I bet you'll come up with the best name.....if all this works out. Another: Alfred or Hitchcock in honor of the Master of suspense.
