i tried to find a site like this with no luck! thank you!

I don't have the flu but I am home from work today because I am going to get a shot in my foot to kill a nerve. I am nervous beyond words and Chase and Zahra have been cuddled up with me all morning which really has helped to keep me calm. I wonder if the podiatrist would mind them coming into the office with me for the shot? 😃

My vet charged $35 for chipping when I had the pups done last year. It just depends on where you get it done. There are also microchip clinics offered at shows sometimes which usually offer a good deal. I got Nicky's done for free that way back when microchips were still relatively new and they were trying to get people to do it.

bring a friend! The idemand is there for movies, x box, you know where the beer fridge is. Any specific type of beer?

Subaruthie - that is so funny 😃 😃 😃 😃
EL D would mostly ignore my old vacuum - a noisy basic hoover - but with my new quieter windtunnel he'll come and stand it its way and then jump out at the last minute. Then he'll keep moving around so he's back in front of it again.

take him in to the kennel for a weekend.
It will cost you some $$ but you will be able to see if he can "handle it" or you will have to get someone to move in and keep company with him.

Very sweet! I don't know how I missed that!;)

and it's FREEZING here!! (50 degrees and rainy)

Come visit Chicago. It was in the 40's and people were out in shorts!

I leave the radio on for EL D while I'm gone at work – not because it calms him down but because I don't want him going bonkers because he's hearing the squirrels making noise outside 🙂 He generally sleeps while I'm gone.

Don't you put things you can't finish back in the 'fridge? He is just being a good boy!

I'm with u hdolbow mine catch leaves It's pretty funny when Phoenix pounces on it like it's hard to hold down I don't let them get near any critters just because i am too worried about what the animal might have also i'm alll set with the clean up yuck lol I'll just let Phoenix keep believing that the leaves are 40lb creatures lol lol 🙂

Your most likely right… but with ads, we know that there could have been 100 takes to get it right.... so I don't think that this pup just came from the park.... Julie and Kathy Jones in So. Cal has had their B's in a couple of different TV shows... and they say it is really a long, long process with lots of retakes... of course this was just a picture shoot... but still I wonder... and it is something to remember when we are all out walking our kids... especially in the hot sun....

@JazzysMom:

But honestly, I think most, if not all, Basenji behavior is somewhat "random" LOL

You are SO right 😉

@YodelDogs:

If Chance continues his interest in mounting and sniffing Kiya's "female parts", there could be something else going on. It is not unusual for female pups to get puppy vaginitis. This ailment produces aromas that male dogs mistake for being in season. (People can't smell it.) Left untreated, the male dog will aggravate the female so much that fights can occur. I use an ecchinasea/goldenseal capsule daily, opened and mixed with something "smelly" to hide the bitter taste. The problem is always resolved within one week. I am not a veterinarian though so you should discuss this ailment when you take Kiya to your vet.

And Robyn is right, this could be the problem also, however in knowing Chance and seeing his behavior with other dogs, I think much of this is that he is just very inmature for his age and never really learn "proper" play with other dogs… he is not aggressive to other dogs, he is just inappropriate with some of his antics.... Kiya, given the chance will put him in his place... but I would think this house is going to get really loud with Basenji sounds...

sooo exciting! i was nervous for a month before we got mia!! 😃 good luck with everything!! i'm sure you'll let us all know how it goes!!

@tanza:

I am glad that you went to Midge….

I am too actually. I have been so incredibly pleased with Dallas. He is such a great basenji 🙂 Plus I know Midge is there if I have any problems, I was a bit worried in that respect about Dee since it seems she breeds a lot & does it as more of a business.

Over thanksgiving last year, I went out of town for the week to visit my folks. The normal person that keeps my Basenjis was also out of town that week. My husband's sister volunteer to keep them. I tried to warn her of all the things she needed to put up and away. My guys are older and in a basenji proof house are ok left out (not crated) all day. She forgot to shut the bathroom door one day before work. She got home and they had gently pulled the TP from the holder and ran up and down the hallway making many trips folding the paper back and forth on itself. She didn't forget to shut the door again.:D They also took a whole box of facial tissue off the end table and shreded it. She said it looked like it had snowed in her living room.:p

AH! Our computer crashed and all my photos are on it! Hopefully we can get it revived and I can submit items!!

hahahahah yeah 😃
