Although nothing stopped us from getting a puppy from a breeder, which is frankly a bizarre situation. We did pick a home breeder though, we would never use a puppy farm.

Basically we have a child under 6, which for all the shelters in Suffolk/Norfolk rules us out of a placement regardless of any other circumstances.

Annoying really.

Thats strange.

rescue shelters are private here. For Rusty El Tigre and Melvin we just picked them out and proceeded to fatten them up with Louisiana food. For the Mighty wieners they had a formal process where they came to the house and everything. But it was all part ofa GS project anyway so no big deal and thats when TBone picked our family (me actually) while I was working on the haunted house. We actually knew the rescue people so it wasn't a big deal.

I much prefer Dachshunds.

Between 'Weiner Dogs' and 'Buckminster Fullerine' we have all the proof we need that Americans should not be allowed to name anything.

I'm sorry, but if you see a wonder wienie running across a field:
1) Get a chair. Its going to take awhile.
2) Try not to fall out of the chair laughing. You can't be down watching a the comic relief that is a wiener running.
3) Anything that funny has to a be a 'weinie dog,' nicht ein dachshund!.

Frazzie, try a ferret. I think you are missing out.

Ferrets pee on everything. All the time. Back in highschool, one of my buddies had two and they'd just let loose on whatever they please.
