Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Yesterday, my mom, two brothers, and I went to the shelter. There were two dogs we were interested in:

He is not a typical chihuahua, he didnt even bark, and he was really mellow. He wasnt available until today, but we went yesterday.


Up close, in real life, he looks a little different, a lot cuter! I love him! Here's what happened:
My mom gave me two kennel numbers to look at because I was asking about another dog: the chihuahua above, and the puggle just below th chihuahua. I checked them out. The puggle ran right up to me and sniffed my hands, which must've smelled like cats because some dogs growled after smelling my hands, but he dindt care, instead he just jumped up on the fence and let me pet him. I went to see the chihuahua, and he whimpered when I left. I came back, and he seemed to be frowning, but when he saw me again, he ran back up to the gate, and opened his mouth, and I could've been sure he was smiling, because his lips were so high and he was trying to lick me all happy. I was like, "I've only been gone for two seconds, and I dont even know you!" he was on owner hold. We asked about him, they said they contacted his owner, and theres a 50/50 chance of them picking him up. But he's all ready been there for over a week since they called the owner, so theyre really not sure. We left to look at more dogs, and when we came back, he was in the back of his cage, and when he saw us, he ran up to the front and started getting all happy again, wagging his tail. My little brother's almost two, and LOVES dogs, and he reached his hand in to pet him, and he got all excited when he started petting him, and my little brothr even jumped in a puddle between the groudn and cage to get close to the dog. And then, someone brought a dog back into a cage. Dogs all around wer climbing their fences, going crazy. I looked around to see if there was one not barking. That would be perfect for us. There wasn't any dog not barking, except the puggle. He seems so perfect! and he's a great age, a year and a month is the estimation, so he's out of his teething stages but he's not too old, either!  I think he seems just perfect for us, but if his owner picks him up, I guess it's meant to be, you know? and maybe he'll be happier in his old home. But, I don't know, other people walked by him, and he just stared at them. With us, he realy seemed to love us, even my two brothers, who can get a little out of control when they're excited, like they were yesterday. And my mom likes him a lot, too.
   So yesterday, I get home and later, my mom sighed when I asked about him, and said she really likes him, she really wants him, but she just doesnt have the money to buy the poor little guy if he is put up for adoption, and to talk to my dad, so I went out there, and said, "Today we went to the pound and we saw a cute puggle and we really want it." I told him all about it and stuff, and he was like, smiling and like, 'I can't believe this'. Then, I said, "hang on". I ran inside, and got my binder that I'm gonna use for school-covered in puggles. I took it out and showed it to him.  He said, "Tabbystripe(he used my real name), how long have you had this?"
Me: "I don't know."
Him: "Did you just get this  yesterday?"
Me: "No!"
Him: "How long have you had this?"
Me: "I got it a few weeks ago."
Him: "Oh, now we're getting somewhere." 
  He seemed to think at first I was just going through a stage and just decided I wanted a dog. but he said, "this is an ongoing process. You have to keep things cleaned, you have to really take care of him, this never stops." I told him, "I know, but you know how I always try to walk the cats. You know I'd be responsible with daily walking the dog." He said, "Well, that's true. You do always try to walk the cats, we all know that, and at least a dog actually walks." 
  And after long talks, it wasnt really official, his decision. 
  But today, I freaked out. I called the shelter and asked when he was getting out, i had forgotten for sure when. I didnt know his number, only an approximate. They said he probably got picked up by his owner. Then my mom found the card with his kennel, and called and asked about his kennel number. They said he'd be released for adoption Aug. 4th. I told my dad, and showed him the picture. He said he gets his work schedule Friday, and if he's not working that day, he'll buy it. I'm overjoyed now, and I can't stop thinking about him. I don't know what I'll name him if I get him. Here's a possible list:
Curly-because of his curly, long tail
Dusty-because of his fur

Any other suggestions for names?

Those are adorable names! I'll definitely consider those, too! :D Mickey really stands out for me, because we love disneyland, and he just really looks like a mickey. xD Plus, its a really unique name, which, as most of you have pretty much seen all ready, I love creative, unusual or unique names. (like how earlier i suggested "panda' and 'frank'. xD And i have a cat who i randomly named twinkle xD)

Those are cute, and about the big nose, my dad was saying puggles look like they have big black noses. xD
