Check with a specialist about the tumour. Is it definitely contained in the toe? If it's spread I wouldn't have it cut into as I feel that this can set off increased growth. As to having a toe removed, one of my bitches had a toe on her front foot removed because it was badly damaged. The vet said that she would always limp but she was back in the show ring after the operation and not one judge she went under noticed the missing toe! She moved as perfectly as ever.
Basenji halloween costume

It's a little early, but I thought folks might enjoy this Basenji sighting! (I have no affiliation with this company - I saw this posted on the Brat-Chat newsfeed)
-
Too cute! Our town has a dog halloween contest and was thinking of dressing up Mojo!!!
-
We have a halloween parade at our ASFA trial each year. I've already cut out a teapot applique for Tempest, just have to make a little coat to sew it onto. I think Gambit will be a fuzzy dice.
-
Those are so cute. I don't think those would stay on my b's back for long. I can just see the wearer getting jumped by the other two for the "new toy"
-
@Rivermoon - Ha ha! I hadn't thought of that scenario - but of course it might happen! Too funny!
And Lisa - we have an October fundraiser for the local Humane Society here that includes a costume contest. I am always trying to come up with ideas, but Tempest in a Teapot might be the best I have heard of - ever! I hope you are the hit of the parade!! -
Too funny!
I think Buana would like to own one
Chaffie would destroy it in a second haha -
Very cute!
-
Shame they don't celebrate halloween over here. Would have been fun to walk around like that!
-
Crack me UP! The B looks so " amused". haha more like "are you kidding me????"
-
OMG - those are so cute! The grim reaper - perfect for Shaye; the pumpkin - perfect for Gemma - likelihood of them letting me put them on? Nil. Sigh. Saw one at the Renaissance Festibal this year of a knight in full armor with a shiny "horse" blanket, carrying a sword - adorable. Not on a basenji though, it was a lab.
-
Hi Shaye - of course it was on a lab - they are WAY more tolerant than Basenjis! I might still try it though - I keep thinking one of these days Cody might surprise me and NOT eat everything I don't want him to chew! Am I in denial? LOL!

I made costumes for dog show for my Jesika and my daughter. It's from russian tale - @Tsarevna -frog (the same as qween-frog).
We won 3 place, the first and second - my friend Lena and her dogs - dalmatin as Dragon and ksolo as alien
All costumes are hand-made.
-
I find with basenjis the simpler the costume the more likely they are to tollerate it, things on their heads generally do not work well. I made this little Chippendale outfit for the boys a couple years ago and they did not mind wearing it at all.
Last yr I made the mistake of trying to use a wig on the whippet, that did not work out -
Oh, wow! Thanks, OP! Bookmarked for the next Discworld Convention. (Have to make a speech bubble for Grim Reaper saying something like "Binky, Binky? Who are you?")
-
Mine won't tolerate being dressed up - some even object to wearing coats in bad weather!!
-
Here's what I've ordered for Thabo. The fact they seem to have persuaded a basenji to wear it long enough to photograph was a plus in my book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HE189G/ref=oh_emp_details_o02__i01
