  • Yee-haw! Puppies, puppies & more puppies! What an exciting time! Can't wait to hear the stories and of course, see the pictures! Congrats!

  • I am so excited for you, I know you will enjoy having guru. B's are loads of fun.

  • I'm really excited for you! Can't wait to see the pictures of your little bundle of… :eek: well:eek: . Basenji!:D

  • Awww….I still remember the excitement before we brought Querk home...I couldn't sleep...I took a bunch of time off from work...and he was the most *perfect puppy! Good luck, and enjoy yourself!

  • We are trying to figure out what we should do about church this weekend since we will have Guru. Should one of us stay home or will he be okay alone :( I dont know if I can leave him :o I wish I could take him with us but I think ppl would have this reaction :eek: Hmm what to do.

    Shyla, you are one seriously brave woman ;) I have a three year old human…I can't imagine having four six and under, and adding a basenji puppy! Good luck!

    Yes, bless you. Do you roller scate by any chance?

  • 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 :)

  • @Basenji_Boy:

    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 :)

  • Congrats Shyla!! :D You're going to have a wonderful week-end, I'm sure!

  • how exciting….basenji puppy behavior is so funny when they are so little....they look like little pot bellied pigs with the swollen tummys and their scrappy doo charisma....

    @lovedogs @eeeefarm said in should I get a basenji?: wait until the time is right, even if you really, really want a dog now I agree... with everyone. Sometimes you just need to accept that (no matter how much you want a dog/car/kid/house) you aren't quite ready for it. I waited 5 years before I brought my Basenji home and it was probably the most adult thing I've ever done. I was still in recovery from a spinal injury and knew that I wouldn't be able to provide (her) the exercise she would want and require. Waiting made all the difference in the world. Whan I was finally ready, the most perfect little girl was ready for me. Don't fret about it. You can read, research, consider all of your options, and really prepare yourself. (Don't look at puppy pictures online! You'll fall in love without even meeting the pup(s) and it will pull at your heartstrings.) Remind yourself that "one day you will have a Basenji", just not today.

    we waited the full year. We thought we might want to do agility and lure coursing, and had read that early neutering could lead to thinner bones. Thinner bones means more chance of injury, so we figured we'd wait. He seemed to sail right through the surgery, recovery wasn't too bad. I say, why not wait, if there is no intact female in your household, and the dog is properly contained.

    The individual pics are great and they are not on this site anywhere, just group shots of the same pups. Lady's and Isabelle's. They are just the cutest little things. I've picked the one I want :D Unfortunately there just isn't anymore room in the inn. Ashley
