Tomorrow, Tanya and I will start formally looking for a new furkid to be a companion for Belle. For me it will be a bittersweet time. We know Belle needs a friend but I also know that it will make us think about Teddy a lot.

This morning while I was ironing my clothes, I looked over at the couch and saw Belle there sleeping. For half a second I caught myself thinking, "where is Teddy?" After that I teared up for a bit. I hope getting a new furkid will help us move on.

Anyway, here is the petfinder link for the first "candidate", Presley. (We will probably change his name. We have a "hockey" theme for pets names in our house. LOL Teddy was named after Jose Theodore, who is (or was) Tanya's favorite goalie (after me of course). Belle is after the "Bell Center", the home rink of the Montreal Canadiens, Tanya's favorite hockey team.

He looks happy and full of energy. We will let you know how it goes.

When I clicked on the link and then tried copying and pasting it, it said website not found.

I can't wait to see what your 1st candidate looks like.

Aww, that brought tears to my eyes as well, just hearing about it. :(
The link does not work for me. :( But I wish you luck on finding Belle a companion. I can't wait to "meet" them and welcome them to PT. :D

Both links worked for me. Good luck on your search, your thread brought tears to my eyes, Teddy was so special. This boy on petfinder is really cute, he reminds me of a spaniel. Good Luck!

He's a cutie pie!!! I hope he gets to come home with you guys. Him and Belle will make a great pair!!

If we're lucky, we'll get to see more of him(and Belle). I know Teddy will have a paw in the selection of the new pup. :)

Rocket Richard? :D


LOL..... if it's a boy the first name that came to my mind was Rocket hahaha funny you mentioned that.

Belle is about 2 years old.... we think (the vet thinks actually) that she might be slightly younger than that though.

Hehehe, he really does look like an energetic, happy boy. :D Good luck on your search. When are you going to meet him? Are you taking Belle on your first visit, or are you going to see what you think of him before taking her to check him out?

He looks like he would fit in perfectly with Belle. At least by his description and picture. He is a cutie. I bet you are so excited to get to go see him!!! I'm excited to hear how it goes. :D :D

We are probably going to go check him out tomorrow. I called them today to get the "rules" and we can bring Belle along with us tomorrow so they can meet. I told them that I didn't want to bring her out if they weren't going to be able to meet since she gets so car sick. We have to fill out an application for him before we can spend time with him and have them meet but once it is filled out we can take him out of the kennel into another area where him and Belle can meet and spend some time together.

Wish us luck :D
