Congratulations on the coming 'event'. I agree with Debra - work on the 'leave it when the baby is crying especially if it's a sudden scream. It can exacerbate the prey drive. I suggets you have a special command for this rather than leave so he definitely knows what to do when it is the baby crying.
Happy 5th Birthday Sonny!

Happy Birthday Sonny
I hope you got lots of ice cream!

Happy Birthday dearest Sonny! I say you get ice-cream, your other favorite treats, massages, special play time and WHATEVER you want today!
Sonny, you really are a special boy. When I first read about you, I have to say that my heart cried a little. However, since I've known you on this forum, tears have been replaced by smiles and admiration for you (and your peeps too!). You have shown that a disability DOES NOT have to get in the way of enjoying a full, rich, fun life! We can learn so much from you.
Now go eat ice-cream, play like the silly basenji you are and have a most wonderful 5th birthday! Hugs to you and your peeps!

Happy 5th Birthday, Mr. Handsome! Love the hat and the cool basenji pose!

Thank you all for the great birthday wishes!!!
and Fran your kind words brought tears to my eyes! He really is a special boy. it's been exactly a year since I (the human) learned about Sonny's PRA diagnosis and while truley heart breaking to hear he has totally gone on with life as if nothing changed. There isn't a thing he did before that he still isn't doing now! Running and playing and causing all sorts of trouble. I don't think I could love a dog more and wouldn't trade him for anything in the world!! He inspires me everyday

Happy birthday Sonny!!
I'm happy to see how well he has adjusted. Appears to be enjoying life just like any other Basenji. If only we, humans, could adjust so well.
I just realized I forgot Kananga's birthday once againโฆ He turned 4 yrs old on Sunday. If it weren't for this thread, I would have let much more time pass before I would have remembered. March is just never a quiet month for me.
Oh well, at least Sonny and Kananga will have a great week enjoying their birthdays.
