Megatron might get a Brother!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Nikitta34 · 06-29-2010, 04:28 AM

I've been holding off on saying anything since I didn't want to jinx it, but DH and I have now made plans to go meet a little doggie this weekend! He was rescued from a shelter here in Korea by a woman I met through Animal Rescue Korea.

I thought DH would never go for a second dog, but we decided that Meg needs a playmate.

The crazy part of all of this is that we are about to move from Korea to Arizona in 6 days. Phew! Ideally we would have more time to let the new dog adjust to our lifestyle before we completely disrupt it, but I figure it's better to give him a good home, even if that home will involve an almost immediate plane ride.

We don't know too much about this little guy because of the language barrier (I don't speak Korean), but he was rescued a couple weeks ago and has been living with his foster mom. He is very underweight, but the vet says he's healthy aside from that.

Here's a link to the ARK thread

about him in case anyone wants to check him out.

I AM SO EXCITED!!!! We plan to take him home with us on Saturday as long as he and Meg get along well and he seems like a good match for us. I am super excited to meet him!!

He's SO cute

!!! Good luck, I hope he's a good fit for your family

Do dogs entering the US have to be quarantined? Just wondering.

Ohh how exciting! Love the ears on him!

luvfla · 06-29-2010, 05:38 AM

WONDERFUL! He's adorable. So...he's going to be bilingual, right?

I hope Meg LOVES him.

RDB911 · 06-29-2010, 05:46 AM

He's very handsome

Hope all goes well..

Nikitta34 · 06-29-2010, 05:48 AM

Thanks for being excited with me, guys!! I can't stop thinking about him!

Of course I'm also packing for my move to the US, so that is on my mind, too. haha.

Dogs do not need to be quarantined as long as they have gotten the Rabies vaccination at least 30 days prior to arrival. If they had gotten it only, say, 25 days before arrival, they'd be quarantined for the remaining 5 days. But GUESS WHAT ---- (another sign that it's meant to be?) this little fella will have exactly 30 days on the day we travel!

He's going to have to be, I guess! LOL

LunasMomma · 06-29-2010, 05:50 AM

Oh, that's fantastic

He really is just too adorable!!!

Dzbabykel · 06-29-2010, 05:52 AM

Yay congrats!! Haha and btw I LOVE the name Megatron, that's so freakin cute

chachi · 06-29-2010, 05:57 AM

Congrats on your new addition

Nikitta34 · 06-29-2010, 06:09 AM

If we end up getting him, we would like to change his name. His foster mom has been calling him "Silver". I am a huge fan of the big-dog-name on Yorkies (hence "Megatron" aka "Meg") so I'm thinking of naming him "Tank" or "King Kong" aka "King" (or "Kong"!). My fav is "King" but DH likes "Tank". I like big dog names I can shorten to something more normal sounding, like how Meg's name is.

Any other big, bad-ass dog names you all can think of?

Hehe aww Tank is such a cute name! My BF wanted to name our little pup Brutus haha

CouversMom · 06-29-2010, 06:50 AM

He is adorable! It looks like it's meant to be!

Hope everything works out perfectly! I like the name Rambo... it was almost Couver's name

nikkipoop · 06-29-2010, 09:14 AM

megatron!? Why not optimus!? :-D I love my optimus prime.

Patti · 06-29-2010, 11:11 AM

I hope it works out. He is so cute.

Nikitta34 · 06-29-2010, 03:00 PM

Naming our next dog Optimus Prime was a running joke, but what can we shorten it down to? Opie? I don't know...

And we had Rocky on our list, but not Rambo. I'll mention it to DH!
