    Hi! (: and Happy Thanksgiving!

    I just joined the Basenji Forums and wanted to give everybody some information about myself. My name is Marcus Giordano. I'm 22 years old. I've owned two Basenjis, the youngest named Tilley and the oldest named Joker. Tilley was a female and died when she was only 6 from kidney complications. Joker was a male and died last October at the age of 15. I have so many fond memories of both the dogs. It was always a blast when the two were together. They would sleep with me, play and fight with each other, and it was amazing. They both taught me many, many things and I will always remember them for that and thank God for them. I am currently trying to persuade my mom to purchase another Basenji, as it has been over a year since Joker passed and everyone in the family is a little lonely. The Basenji truly is the King of Kings, the best breed. Well, hope to talk with you all soon, and learn some more information about this spectacular dog! Bye now.

    Good deeds are remembered in the hearts of men.

    Welcome to the Forum, Markus. I hope you'll have another Basenji soon.

    Welcome… I am guessing that your girl was lost to Fanconi? And if that is the case, when you get your next Basenji there is a DNA test for the Fanconi Gene as of September of this year.

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    It sounds like a contact allergy to me. The dog's stomach is touching something it is allergic too. Like Ruth said, grass or weeds that may (or may not) have chemicals on them. The fabric of your couch or type of carpet you have Cleaning products used to clean carpets or floors Fabric softeners, dryer sheets, or laundry detergents used on the dog's bedding or other items the dog is frequently in contact with. Topical flea products used on the dog And the list goes on I do not trust a vet who wants to hand out drugs and medications without attempting to find out the cause of the medical problem. I would recommend going to a holistic vet that will help you get to the root of the problem.

    Hi Vicki - I love your name. ;) Welcome and I hope to see more of your postings. This is the best site for help, advice, and friendship. I, too, use the squirt bottle and always keep a cup of water on the counter for more drastic intervention. My two will go at it, then clean each other up once they are wet. It is funny.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear Basenjis. Losing a pet is so difficult. I hope this site helps you through the transition. Welcome.
