Scarlet is a cutie whatever she is! If you have a real interest in learning what she is, I would recomment wisdompanel.com - there you will find a site that will send you swabs for her cheeks, then will later on send you a report showing everything that is in her, and how much of each - it goes back five generations and the reports are wonderful. I know I sound like a commercial, but we sent off to find out what our Gemma was mixed with, and found she is basenji all the way on one side, and sheltie on the other, with a little collie thrown in three generations back. Because the reports send along information about what the breeds personalities are, it's really easy now to see when Gemma is being sheltie-ish and when she's being basenji, which is mainly when she's interacting with her PB sister. Good luck with Scarlet, and welcome! I think you can also pick up the DNA kits from wisdompanel at PetSmart, or so someone told me.

Found this site while looking for homephysio ideas for Miss Bliss.
We are happy to have a place to share our experiences as we don't do Facebook etc.
We live in Canada and I will post pictures of my little missy when I figure out how.
Happy Easter from B and Bliss -

Welcome to the forum!

@bernadette - Welcome, what exactly are you looking for?

Welcome. I've noticed a couple of mentions that Miss Bliss tried to fight a car and has a cast. I don't have any advice, per se, but I send my thoughts along all the same. This link may help you decipher posting images.

Welcome ! Can we also know the name and parentage of your little girl ? So many have Basenji family out there in the wider world we wot not of !

@tanza Hi and thanks.
Am looking for exercises to prevent her muscles from atrophying.
Been massaging her, she loves it.
Therapeutic touch seems too intense. One swipe with intention and she pulls away. She's coming along but has another month of crate living.
Have been allowing her, on a leash, to walk around the back yard a little bit more each day and we've set up an x-pen on the back deck so she can sun herself in the afternoon.

Blackwing's Waltzing Matilda
Many thanks for this - I have added her to the online pedigree database and written to Kathie to get the birthdate and siblings. Now if you'd like to send me a photo (to an email address on a website on my signature block) I will add that too. Give me a couple of hours to get it uploaded again.

@elbrant Really it was a big bandage. Her right leg has a plate and six screws.
Also, she lost a toenail that may or may not grow back.
She finished the Gabapentin yesterday and seems fine.
Gabapentin is for nerve and chronic pain. -
@zande Sure thing Zande.
I'll find a president picture as she's kinda chunked up a bit.
Me too. Missing our two long walks a day and our play sessions. -
@zande Pre accident. Not president
