    Hello-

    I live in Grand Rapids Michigan with my five month old puppy. We are planning a play date with three of the other puppies from the litter and thought we would invite any area basenjis as well.
    June 16th we are all going to meet at the hillcrest dog park around 12pm. If anyone else is in the area and would like to come let me know.
    Thanks for looking!

    How nice for the invite and wonderful to get all your pups littermates back together! Let us know how it goes. I'm interested to know if you can tell they remember each other. We're about 2-1/2 hours from GR - not exactly nearby. Hope you all have a good time. :)

    I do have to say the play date was quite fun. I was great to see how pretty they have all gotten. I was most interested by the way that they were so much ore territorial over the park with their siblings around. Piggy is almost never aggressive with any dog (showing teeth, etc) but with her siblings it was war. They learned to play and had a great time though :).

    I would love to get some Bs together for a play date. I'm starting to think Lenny may only be dog aggressive with non B's. He and Tayda spent a month with 6 other B's and it was fine!

    Anyone near the Ann ARbor, Michigan area?

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    @krunzer: Keep them separate in their own crates. The older one may not want to put up with puppy play in a big crate. When crated mine are always separate unless they are at the kennel, then they are in the same pen because Becca is not fond of the kennel. PS, basenjis don't like being woken up much, and one dog annoying another who wants to stay asleep might result in a fracas in a confined space; never a good thing.

    He's a hungry dog today. Gave him 1/2 cup in the morning and just a few minutes ago. He had no problem eating. I'm much more happy that he's eating now. He likes his bone as well. Not too much into the Kong yet. I just wish he didn't cry in his crate when I put him in there. Feel bad for him but I know it just takes adjusting. He is perfectly fine when I return home after he's been in there awhile. It's just the initial time. To be honest though, this transition went far better than I expected. I was prepared for the worst. This little guy has done very well.

    It was actually the vet tech wasn't the most brilliant thing on the planet… needless to say I found another vet the next week and they think she might have some bulldog in her... what a mix. I believe that she definitely could have some bulldog in her judging by the way she lays around the house.
