Help Me Name One More!!
So you all helped me with a name for Maddex, well a deal with the breeder has led us to look at one more dog. We intended on getting ONE more regardless but it is perfect because he is a little blue merle too!
I have raised two Dachshund sisters for my grandparents when they both got ill, from 8 weeks to six months before my grandparents were able to take them back, before so I do know what I am getting into and for me things get easier after six months of age anyways.
The biggest hurtle is keeping them active, and mentally stimulated and they are around three people every day who do individual play times. A lot of interaction with neighborhood dogs, they'll be enrolled in obedience class with me taking one and my fiance the other. When they get old enough that hiking is possible we'll be right there on the trail, taking them to the beach, and as of right now we are going for walks three times a day (even if short enough to wear out a young puppy) every night there is about 2 hours of play time with tug ropes, squeakers, and balls. There is about a hour outside in the backyard romping around chasing people in a playful fashion, most of it at this age is spent napping and relaxing. Also in there we spend as much time as a puppy attention span allots doing commands, thus far sit and down are going pretty well.
It isn't impossible, and we went over those challenges before we decided on a second puppy. I worked at a rescue for three years, so I know what horrible lives that is being abandoned because someone can't handle you. That will never happen, ever. My dogs aren't just companions to me they are like my children! Not to mention we've already met one person in Toowoomba, QLD that is wanting to have puppy play dates and go to the bark park together so I am very excited to have all that going on. I hope that made you feel at ease with my decision of taking on another dog, and I appreciate your concern! 
I knew it was coming, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to resist for very long – I just thought it’d be longer then it was. Maddex is home now; I was on the list again for a blue merle from her as well because she wasn’t 100% sure when she’d have another one. I wanted another little boy. My fiancé grew up in a breeder household that bred show quality Cavaliers, and he felt that dogs with company seemed to be happier so he insisted that he wanted to get another puppy while Maddex was still a puppy so they could grow up together. I just didn’t expect him to be willing for it to be so soon!
Well anyways, long story short by the start of August we’ll have another little fluff ball coming home! Lucky we’re so active, a lot of jogging, hiking, camping, and the like so we are looking forward to spending all that time with two very gorgeous little boys. Anyways, we are stuck on names again and we came here to poke our nose around and get opinions! I know some of you will think us crazy for taking on two puppies! But we're more then happy to have them coming home.
