Show us your pets!

I have a new puppy! My partner and I got her a couple of days ago, and we're still waiting for inspiration on a name. She's a long-haired dachshund, and she'll be on the small side when she grows up. She's about 5 months old. These were from the first day, when she was still trying to figure out what I was up to, exactly. "Uh, who are you again??"




This is an updated picture of Chili, the senior dog. He's 11 now. He still thinks the puppy is a pest, but they're starting to wag their tails at each other. We have hope. He loves his soft blanket...


Oh, and the cat. His name is Jazz. He's about 14 years old now. When we walk the two dogs, Jazz comes along. He's friends with some of the other dogs in the neighborhood, so it works out, but it must be a sight for the neighbors - two dogs on leashes, and a cat following behind.

That's a big kitty! When you go for your walks, do you put him on a leash, or does he just follow along? I don't trust Ruthie outside unless she's attached to me, but it's torture trying to get the harness on her! But it'd be so nice to take her for walks.

Dachshund, what about Sophie? She has beautiful eyes.

[dachshund]

NoNo - He's actually pretty thin, but I admit this picture makes him look like he has a good spread going. He just walks along behind us. We've never tried a leash. If he sees anything to worry about, he ducks under a plant or something. With the puppy the walk is pretty short. The cat stays inside when the big dog goes on his marathon training walks. ("Big" is, of course, a relative term.)

Sundial, that's a nice name! The trick is to stay away from traditional human names, which is my GF's rule. I've already been through all of my favorite women's names, and they were rejected. It'll have to be some reference to her dark colors, I suspect.

What about Sienna? She has beautiful sienna-ish highlights.

Or Cocoa?

Oh, your new guy is a doll! Just look at those eyes!!!

My neighbors have a cat who goes on walks with them around the neighborhood. But in cat fashion, she follows about 30 feet behind, and sneaky....darting from parked car to parked car, and shrub to shrub..like we're not supposed to know she's there..."stalking" them! Very funny.

Our cat does the "stealth" routine, too. But the pup is fascinated by the cat, so she has to stop periodically to see what the strange looking "dog" is doing.

Very cute pup! She looks as if she has a very expressive little face! I love puppies!! Enjoy her!! And Chili is quite the handsome lad, too. Jazz - well, he knows what he's worth. Love his eyes.

Beautiful dachs! My favourite small dog. You could always call her Moofle, as in "aaaw, who's a moofle lil dog today then...!"

I just thought of another name--Nutmeg.

[andtckrtoo]

I think she looks like a Tillie...

[jesvetmed]

half the female dachshunds are named Gretchen! Then there's Anna, Else, Bridgette, Greta, Hanna, Gabrielle. Ilse.

Just a few nice German girl names!
She is very pretty! Congratulations on adding her to the family.

I love doxies!!! Used to have one myself named Bill. I miss him.

She is gorgeous though! I'm bad at picking out pet names. I'm sure you'll pick the perfect name for her.
