Polar Fleece is a better choice, I agree… or sturdy beds/mats for the crate... you really need to see how she does with bedding, none of my Basenjis were bedding killers. And the crate should be in the room where you sleep, next to your bed.... then you are right there to deal with any issues.
Finishing the old year . . .

. . . with a new title! Yesterday I was entered in an agility trial about 2.5 hours from where I live. I set the alarm early but as I went to bed that night the weather looked ominous. I got up very early, got dressed watched the cars ice skating on tv, looked at the darkness and went back to bed, opting to sacrafice my first run. I did make it up there for my second run and Zest! got her third leg of her OAJ title in what can only be described as a perfect run. If I had drawn the perfect path for her to take, it would have been the path she did indeed take.
I spent last night up there and while we did not qualify in Excellent, she did have 2 very nice runs. And I saw a bald eagle fly over my car on the way to the trial. Ahhh, the joys of living in Colorado.

Wow, what a way to end the year, congrats to you and Zest!

WTG Zest! Congrats!

Congratulations! By the way, totally off topic but I love the name Zest- it is so unique and upbeat!

Thanks, actually I picked the name before I picked the puppy. I wanted a name that was unique to the agility and the basenji worlds and the word "zest" seemed to fit that and it was so much fun to say. When I started entereing agility trials for her, I added the ! because I figured I'd be yelling her name anyway. <gg>Now I tell people I named her Zest! because she adds flavor and color to my life. ;)</gg>

It certainly is a name that would stand out to me in the trials… its funny, with every dog I have ever owned I have always picked out the name before the puppy! Neat story, thanks for sharing:)

WTG! LOL Zest lives up to the name!

Congrats to both of you! Wonderful news.
