Finally In Our New Home

Basenji Talk
  • So we moved into our new house this past weekend and are now getting settled. Chance has been acting strange which we expected. He isn't used to so much noise. The neighborhood we moved into is still buidling homes next to us so during the day the construction workers are outside making noise. He keeps pacing back and forth from the door to the window whining. Its hard to tell now when he really needs to go outside to potty or if he just wants to go out and investigate. :rolleyes:
    He has started to shake though like he is cold. I can't figure this out. Its not even cold in our house. He will just sit there and whine and shake. Why does he do that?????

    He is just in a strange place (for him) all new stuff, new smells, new sounds… it will take some adjustment...

  • Dallas sometimes will shake a little if he is nervous, in a new place, etc. He loves going to new places but I noticed when I tried taking him to a new petstore the other day (vs the same one we have been going to) he was shaking a little while I had him in my arms walking into the store, like he was nervous. I wouldn't worry too much unless it continues for a while.

  • Nerves. Nala is not happy with change or when she goes to visit somewhere. It takes her a while to settle down.
    Don't worry, give it time…he'll settle in.

  • mia and rocky both shaKE in the car..

    mia cries the whole time too..

    Poor Cody! It was hard on Spencer (and me!) when we moved cross-country. At first, he would go and sit by the front door, waiting for someone to take him "home." I bought him new toys to play with and he would carry them to the door, sit beside them and wait. It took a few weeks, but he settled in. He still gets anxious when I bring in boxes, though.
  • Finally!

    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)

    I can understand the need to give him a bath. For me, I didn't want to be the bad guy in his eyes when he was a pup and me new to him, so I took him to a pet salon. (Yes - if he gets spoiled, then so do I for this job.) They have the right equipment to keep him in the tub, clean ears and clip toe nails. It cost me $25 including tip . . . but at least I didn't have to do it and he was so happy to see me when I picked him up. I felt like his hero.
