Scottish / English Basenji Sitters?

Hello All ! It's been a while since I have been on - but the work load has been incredible recently.
Small query, I have to do some research in Switzerland in January (from the 1st) and I was wondering if anyone knew any excellent Basenji sitters in Scotland/England - or better yet, members who want a temporary B for a week and half. My other half will be away too - and we don't quite trust our friends with Lycia yet so it would be wonderful if anyone has had positive results with a sitter… I'm willing to drive, take a train whatever, pretty much wherever to ensure I don't have to worry about her while I'm gone.

Many thanks!
Lauren and Lycia

P.S. I would be glad to return a basenji sitting favors with my own Basenji sitting

Wow what a view! I know my Bs are envious as they love to sit in front of the sliding glass door and watch to see if there are any animals like squirrels, rabbits, birds, etc. out there. If they see something they scratch at the door, whine and cry, until I let them out. I am well trained!

It depends on how they have to be removed. In crate would be the safest way for both humans and dogs, but some people have the crates in hard-to-reach areas and can only access the doors to the crates. They may have the crates secured to the wall or floor or even to each other.

Let's talk about fire, since that is what I know. How or whether to remove an animal depends on where the fire started and what condition that area will be in if you have to carry your tools, hose and a dog crate through it, all while wearing turnouts and an air tank. If there is a window, an animal can be passed through to other personnel, but is the crate too big to fit through it? The dog will have to come out of the crate in that instance.

Leaving the animal in the crate and carrying the crate out is safest also because dogs bite when they are upset or afraid, they run away and hide in comfort spots where we might not be able to find or reach them…they are unpredictable in situations like that. However, once outside in the crate and the animal needs medical care, how difficult will it be for rescuers to get hands on the animal?

Firefighters do their best to rescue animals and having easy access is a great way to assist them doing this. That said, though, human life and safety must take precedent regardless of the screaming pet owner outside.

🙂 That sounds much like our place just not nearly as spacious. Well, they appear to have been calmer but they're probably just messing with my mind.
