Awwwwwwwwwww....... look at those eyes!!!
Like I said in your lj. I think Chopper is adorable (and Chopper is my fav name!!!) and I think he would fit nicely in your place. Dachshund really doesn't require too much. You could provide a very comfortable life for them without spending too much. I say go for it and Gigi can have a friend!
