    Congratulations….for the second time today! How funny that you and Vanessa are getting your new babies on the same day!! Hey, I saw a photo of Tori Spelling with her pug in a doggie baby stroller the other day. Maybe you can sneak him into church in a stroller :) Or get one of those double strollers for him and your other baby :)

    Oh see it gets easier with more :) The 6 and 5 yr olds play together and the 3 yr old well he needs a play mate to get introuble with as his little brother is too little to get into trouble :) I was Homeschooling too but well we decided to give me a break for this year and the oldest 2 are in school all day. I am so bored most of the time. The baby sleeps and without a fellow play mate my ds well doesnt get into as much trouble. Did I mention I like living on the edge :)

    Nope I dont roller skate. I used to before i had kiddos now I think I might fall over. We do have a grass strip/ park across from our house and a park at the end of the street that we go to almost everyday after school. With so many little monkies running about I've learned that the more you keep them busy the less trouble they get into.

    I might try roller skating again, I love to go out and about and I know dh would watch the kiddos while me and Guru go out for a skate :) Good idea :)

    @agilebasenji: You really, really do not want to bring a puppy home that is younger than 8 weeks old. In many states it is illegal AND the puppy misses out on learning valuble puppy skills, most importantly bite inhibition. Many breeders even suggest taking a new puppy home around 10 weeks. This is SO TRUE!!! 7 wks is way to young to be bring home a puppy and taking it from his/her littermates…. I don't let puppies go till they are 10wks... And please do not just take someone's word for it that there is no Fanconi.... please check it out for yourself. This is not to say that people are not honest.. but as they always say "Buyer Beware".... it is your responsibility to verify. Also were there any other health tests done? As Kathy pointed out, most of the responsible breeders all know each other... so I would have to ask the same thing? Who has 7wk puppies? I have not heard of a litter.....

    I still get alot of people who ask what breed zoe is. At least at 8 months no one asks if she is a chi anymore. Some start out asking what kind of mix she is. Every once in awhile someone recognizes that she is a basenji. Just yesterday we were waiting outside a sheetz gas station when a woman looked up and saw zoe at the window with me and had to come over to ask if she was a B. I get people who uncurl her tail all the time luckily she doesnt mind in the least you can touch her all over no problem. And most of the time she loves the attention. I swear if someone passes by her without petting and adoring her she will look at them like they are idiots.

    @myran: Thh only thing you have to keep in mind that girls go into heat which can be a hassle whining male having to guard and often separate them during the critical period. I have several basenji friends that have 2 even 5 boy´s and it works as they are of different ages puppies are integrated in to the pack when they are less then 12 weeks.But it takes a strong leader males rarely fight to kill more to show who´s the leader and when the other gives up they calm down not so with females they can be really nasty. Are you going to show them and maybe in the future breed then yes a girl but if not i´d choose a boy as it´s cheaper to neuter a boy then sterilize a girl.Especially as you have to let her have one heat before surgery maybe it´s different over there.And as I said before you can have boy´s together that aren´t neutered.But as they´ve mentioned before go with your breeders recommendations. Good Luck,Michelle In the US, price is usually the same for a spay as it is for a neuter…. and usually people opt to spay before the first season in the US.

    I would suggest waiting until you get the little guy. Indi didn't have a name for abut 2 days. We had all these names in mind and none of them fit. Thats my two cents anyway (oh ya and because we did that I have a cool costume for him on haloween but I don't think I am going to get any cooperation on his end)
