  • So today I think hell froze over: dh surprised me . . . STUNNED me, really. . . .and got me a puppy!!
    Another Jumoke baby; this time it's a little boy and he is sooooooooooooooo cute!!! He is actually Jazzy's nephew. . . as if that matters to them, LOL.

    Good ol' Gypsy has been great about it. Jazzy is doing far better than we'd expected – just a little grumbling at him here and there, but has also played a bit. The little guy is doing great. He'll be 12 weeks on the 17th, and is so busy and curious about everything. It's so fun to have a puppy in the house again. We didn't tell our kids, just drove up from the show; I had Jazzy in my arms and I asked them to please get the crate out of the van for me. Oh the screams when they realized there was a puppy in there! It was so fun.

    The little guy doesn't have a name yet. Bryan and Laurie have a South Pacific theme for this litter, and we're working on it. The kids all want to name him South Pacific Island Kahuna, but I'm not convinced. BUT, I did tell them they could name him, so I may very well be stuck. :p

    I'll post photos ASAP.

  • Congratulations for getting your new baby! (finally!) I saw a couple pics in your gallery. He is sooo cute! I kind of like the name Kahuna - maybe he'll grow up to be a li'l "big Kahuna!"

  • YIPPEE!! WOO HOO!! What a guy!!! Send pictures!!!!

  • That was quite a surprise I know and such a nice thing to do for you, I know you have said in your post that you wanted another puppy. Yea, you can't beat the joy of owning a new puppy, and by the way, Kahuna is rather cute.

  • Congrats on the new baby, definetly need pics, and I also like Kahuna it's a BIG name! :D

  • Congrats on the new baby. Want to borrow some ear plugs? :p

  • CONGRATS. I had read ur other posts on wanting a new puppy. See husbands can be nice too. Can't wait to see pictures. Again congratulations…I'm so jealous. Kahuna is cool, I like that too.

    @zande - You bet! We must be showing our ages! Or Been There/Done That! Very few times we disagree, but when we do we respect the others point of view!

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.
  • Too much walking?

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    Thanks for the responses, glad I wasn't the only one feeling 'paranoid' about it.
