Anybody around Tampa FL want to babysit Jibini & Tana? :)

    It's kind of last-minute….I just now realized this section existed. Figured I'd give it a whirl.

    This coming Friday or Saturday I am driving to Florida, to visit family. I'll be gone from here about 2 weeks- but will only be in FL for about 10 days. Have a couple of stops to make on the way down, but should be there by Tuesday, Feb 9th. Plan to leave on the 19th or 20th.

    There's really no room for my dogs at my mom's house...they have no fence, their house is small, and to top it off, they have a young Golden Retreiver who is almost more than they can handle. Mom really wants to at least see her "grandson" Jibini....but they just can't handle another dog, let alone 2 in her house.

    I have been planning to leave my dogs here in SD- Jibini and Chloe (mix) will stay at the hunting dog trainer's kennel where I work. Tana will stay with a friend since she is a climber & she is so easily stressed, will lose weight if you look at her funny.

    However, if there is any way I can bring just Jibini & Tana with me to Florida, I would be a happy girl. (Chloe stays- she's too rowdy for sane people & doesn't play well with other dogs). I would really, really like to be able to bring Jibini & Tana to the dog park in Tampa on Sunday, so they can play with the regular group of Basenjis that meets there. When we lived in Tampa, I would meet up with them frequently. Jibini loved it. They have never met Tana; it's been 2-3 years since I've seen any of them. I'll still go visit if I don't have a dog, but I would love for Tana to experience at least one Basenji Sunday...she loves to play and I think she'd enjoy it :)

    I don't want to kennel them in FL....the prices are too ridiculous compared to what I pay here, plus I wouldn't be able to pick them up on a Sunday to go to the park & drop them off afterwards.

    Basically, if there's anyone in the area who'd be willing to take care of them, do feel free to let me know :). I'd provide their food, crates, and I'd pay you for your trouble :) They are both fairly easy Basenjis; crate easily, tolerate other dogs for the most part, and they aren't destructive.

    If nobody's available, it's quite alright. I just figured there was no harm in trying!! Thanks :D

    We have a friend who keeps dogs in her home, she has kept several basenjis. It isn't free, but not expensive either. If you still have my home e-mail, and are interested, e-mail me and I'll give you her name/e-mail. Or did you ever use Cyndi when you were here?

    Molly is a 'desert dog' most of the year, she doesn't really like 'wet' ground. Bath? she is 8 1/2 never had a bath, cleans herself, everyone comments on how 'beautiful' she looks. When in the northwest, with the rain, she will go in the wet grass. and she loves the tall grass, guess she thinks she is back in the jungle.

    Yes, so far so good. I forgot to mention that the new sliding door plus the new doggy door replacement will cost me AUS$1000.00. Gee I love my basenjis. Is there nothing I won't spend on them??? Getting back to Pepper, I have to agree that she is a smart dog. She worked out how to evade the water spray hazzard to headbang the doggy door and get inside. Who said basenjis weren't smart???

    This is really the one thing that Jaycee is good at she will go after her ball a toy anything and play and play. Jaycee seems to have set her bedtime at night at about 9:00 to 9:30. So my son will play throwing her ball or toy what ever she wants getting her really tried before she goes to bed every night. Sometimes she good for 15 mins other times half hour but she has fun. I hope she don't stop this is fun.

    We have three. The second we got to have a playmate for our first and the third we got because we fell in love with his pic on BRAT (I am no longer allowed to go to the BRAT website ,,,,lol). Three is definately challenging but they all get along most of the time and have given us endless hours of laughter and joy (as well as some very frustrating times!). If I had it to do over again I would definately do everything the same. Just make sure you have the time and resources for a 2nd b. Our first has had some vision problems and the others have to be vetted periodically and it can get a little expensive. Also, with two and three it almost takes two sets of eyes to keep track of them sometimes. One last tip,,,,if you do get a second ,,,baby gates are a must to keep them corraled!
