    Michelle,

    Khanis mentioned a Cindy so I think it's C-quest. Unless there are a lot of basenji breeders in CT with first name Cindy…..but what are the chances?

    That's too funny…I just emailed Cindy at C-Quest Basenji in CT this morning asking for information!

    What a small world! :p

    :)It is great to be prepared although I am sure the pup will think of something I missed! Yes, it is Cindy at C-Quest. She is awesome and her pups are wonderful! We are very excited! How did you people guess? It is a very small world indeed! My husband bought me a new mini camcorder/ camera for Valentines so the pics and videos will be coming as soon as we get our bundle of cuteness! Thanks to all for the trash receptacle info! There may be a market for a basenji-proof can!

    It is not such a small world when people go to responsible breeders because you find that we all know each other, regardless of where we live…. it is a breath of fresh air.... and it is a small world for those that are not responsible breeders, because as breeders they are not known for responsible breeding and/or heath testing.

    And the Basenji proof can.. is the Trash Compactor.. been through more the 20 Basenjis and none have ever figured out how to open...gggg

    Live in a rental… no room for one of those.
    I have a 5 gal bucket and my broken pedal can is on top of that... not that is matters.. the taller ones can get in it anyways...
    and of course bathroom trash is up high on the stand behind the toilet!

    At least De La would wait until I walked away before stepping on the pedal and getting in to scavenge on the chicken bones and running hell bent for election before I could catch her.... that bitch was smart!

    You said CT... there are only two responsible breeders up there.. Cindy and Gretchen... I knew that Cindy co-bred a few litters with Rusella... and Gretchen had pups last year.. so it was only Cindy with pups that young! MONK I try to be!

    Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new addition! Can't wait to see pics!

    We have pedal bins in the kitchen and bathroom. They do the trick for us.. :) Haven't found a B in there yet..

    We have a can with a push button that makes the top spring up. We took off the spring so that you have to push the button with one hand and lift the lid with the other.
    That has worked so far.

    That sounds like a good idea :D
    We too have the pedal-thing and Zuri always open it with her nose :rolleyes:
    I keep the doors shut…

    Welcome to the forum!
    Your preparations sound great!!! ;)
    And I'm also looking forward to the pics.

    @MacPack: Dusty is darling1 How great that you ignored the trainer and figured out your little guy. They can be so smart that they "fake it" in many ways, making it hard to realize they are deaf, or don't see well. Kudos to you for being such a great mom! Thank you, I think he's a doll myself but I'm partial. You know with him not being able to hear he is very visual and he will watch TV with me. I find that so interesting. He likes animated movies like the ones from Pixar, I can not watch any program with dogs, cats, horses, cows, bears or basically any animal because he starts barking like he is going to be attacked at any given moment. But if we are outside, and we see dogs or other animals he doesn't do anything. Maybe he is just protecting his turf when he's inside. When I tell people that he is deaf, they always say 'oh poor thing' and I always tell them that he doesn't know anything different so he's fine. If he had been able to hear and the lost his hearing that would be much harder for him. But he's really smart and picked up on my sign language very quickly, so he's happy. I'm happy too. Although when he's being a bit unruly I find myself scolding him then I laugh because he can't hear me. Then I tell him 'lucky for you that you can't hear me mister' and I laugh.

    Hi Anne - Thanks for checking in on us. Kona is settling in perfectly. She is so sweet and only causes trouble a couple times a day - mainly when my husband isn't home :) She traveled with us to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando over the Thanksgiving weekend and handled it all very well. She even played beautifully with my nieces and nephew. We are so lucky to have found her and she is the perfect fit for us! We look forward to coming and meeting the other Tampa Basenjis. I am hoping to come to the park after the holidays once Kona is completely caught up on her shots - she goes for round 2 tonight. I will post some more pictures soon too! Lisa
