- 3 mutts, two deaf/vi mini Dachshund
So it has been decided, The little deaf and VI Dachshund that I've been eyeing up is to be mine!!! Now I get to pick out some names, and buy him stuff!!! I am so stoked! Apparently, his personality is akin to that of a grumpy old man, he grumbles about following rules... LOL He's 6 years old, and a Double Dapple Piebald (yes that is correct) I cant WAIT to meet him!!!
So now I am shortlisting names. I have, previously named my dogs after literary characters. I have Scout (to kill a Mockingbird) who is deaf as well. Oliver (obvious) and Mouse (a dog in a book, but I cant remember which one) so I have several ideas. One to continue with the literary theme. Boo, Pi, Dickens, Twain, Sawyer.... 2 to go with another rodent, Marmot, Otter, Critter, Gopher.... 3 to go with old man names, Walter, Norman... 3 to match Mouse, Trap, Mickey.... or 4 to go without a theme, Pockets....
Right now, those are the shortlisted names, i wont choose anything until I meet him, but anyone have any other ideas?
I'm pretty excited, and I'll get to work with issues I've not before had, so it'll be a learning experience!!!
OH and here's a pic, I dont know if I prev. posted it or not
