Why not Padme? Or like Jennifer said, Leia?
From your list I like Miko, Aayla and Amidala.

Whew!
Okay. I have FINALLY gotten a definitive Adoption Day nailed down; Saturday, July 26, 2008. It's quite a bit later than I originally wanted, but I'd forgotten that I'll be taking Summer classes at the college this year and my birthday falls right in the middle of Midterms! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cry.gif
So, it is 71 days until I get mmy Beagle. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

Re: TempoDogless UPDATE!
The secondary fence is fixed! Not more wobbles and no more holes. Not even a Chihuahua could get out that way. I'm working on getting rid of those nasty foxtails now. I got a whole laundry-basketful this morning alone!

They're everywhere in our yard and there's now way I'm inviting trouble with those nasty buggers. Could you imagine what would happen with a Beagles long ears?

Oh BTW I called my boyfriend (who will be getting out of the Army early next month) and asked if he'd like to come along and help me pick out my Beagle. He said sure. YAY! Could life possibly get any better?

UPDATE! 5-25
Whew! I decided to dig out all the old dog stuff today and found quite a bit of stuff that I could still use!
-Three nylon leashes, still in excellent condition
-A gadget that goes on the seat belt and clips to the dog's harness
-A tandem dog-walking device (It's two strips of nylon with a metal ring in the center and clips on either end)
-the afore-mentioned tennis balls
-two brushes; a palm brush and a rubber currycomb
I tossed the leashes and tennis balls into the washer and they came out looking great! I also disinfected the brushes. I'm kind of on a budget, so I'm going to be looking for ways to save money wherever I can without cutting corners. I'm even looking at modifying a horses' saddle pad to use as a dog bed! It is washable, thank goodness!

A corner I have already designated as 'the dog corner' is starting to look like a kennel.

The leashes are hanging up on some pegs below a shelf, and the tennis balls and brushes are sitting on top of the shelf. Once I add the crate and the toys, it'll be all set for my Beagle.
If only July wasn't so far away!

UPDATE! 5-29
Here's yet another update!
I found out yesterday I'm suppossed to be getting a check from the college in about mid-July; it should give me just the boost my 'Safety Net' needs, and just in time, too!

My dad said he can make a 'doggie gate' out of some wood he has in the garage, so I drew him up a design. He says he can make it and then 'shoot it' with clear polyurethane. He found some that has ZERO odor once it dries!

There's so much wood out there he might be able to make more than one, which would be perfect for blocking forbidden areas.
So far, so good! My bro took the weed-eater out back and that helped a lot with the foxtails. There's still a lot out there, but they're more manageable now.
I keep having to order myself to keep calm. If I think too long about getting a dog again. I go totally nuts with excitement and want to dance.

At time it feels as though there's too much excitement for me to stand.
Thank you all sooo much for all your tips! They will be used, I'm sure, when my Beagle finally arrives.
