    Yes - Whether your 1 + 2 make you crazy or not, you are a …very ...very ...brave soul. Hat's off to you for opening your home to two in need. ;)


  • Congratulations! Can't wait to hear how they all do once they get used to eachother. I can't look at the BRAT website very often, otherwise I would have a pack of dogs.:p

    Yes I have that problem but these two just really tugged at my heart. They are a little older 6 & 8 so not as many people would be willing to adopt them especially together. We are fine with it. They love kids and we have two so we're hoping they fit in perfect. We're just having a hard time being patient.


  • Do the two females get along?


  • Congrats!!!
    And you are especially brave adding 2 girls :eek: .


  • Congratulations!!!! We just added our third a few weeks ago and it is a little crazier in our house than we had expected! BUT,,,,,,,it is well worth it when all three are snuggled up to us in bed!!


  • @Basenji_Boy:

    Do the two females get along?

    They've been together forever and could only be adopted as a pair so I would say yes…..I guess I'll find out if they have any issues with each other once there here. They've been crated together while waiting to be adopted so I got them one big crate to share hopefully that works and keeps their stress down.


  • Alrighy huge congrats!!!


  • I would love to see a photo of all 3 of your b's…once they all get settled.
    Thanks for taking these 2 into your home.
    Rescue needs folks like you.
    Hugs


  • Wow! That's great! Congrats…and looking forward to the pictures!

    Please hope for good weather, a smooth flight and as little stress as possible for our two new babies.


  • fingers crossed, and good wishes on the way for a smooth transition :)


  • Goodluck and fingers crossed for you!!!!! Goodluck and fingers crossed for you!!!!! Goodluck and fingers crossed for you!!!!! – thought I better times everything by three -- ha ha


  • Well the girls are here. There is some snarking. The couch seems to be the biggest issue this evening. We did all manage to find a comfy spot and snuggle for a while. I think they'll all be ok with a little time and lots of love. They all want love and pets at the same time. I'll post pictures soon !!!:)

    This was her Saturday night while I was assembling some furniture, she was fast asleep! She's cuddly but was literally under me, it was unusual but now I know why. [image: 1669635577308-tn_signal-2022-11-26-180406_002140.jpg]

    @AJs: Body language is important. Learning how to use eye contact and tone of voice is important too. For instance: If you speak to your dog in a high pitched tone, it indicates excitement and that your are pleased with them…If you lower your tone, especially when they've done something you are unhappy about, they recognize this easier than the words themselves. At least that's been my experience. Dogs (and cats) use so many communication methods...it's a matter of working with your own dog (or cat.) There are other subtle methods I use and AJ seems to respond to my cues rather well. Again, I have different requirements than other pet people. Zest's person could probably help too, having looked at her agility trials. Ah yes, they really do respond well to a higher tone and lower tone when speaking to them. Whenever Kananga has done something naughty, I don't even need to motion anything, I just say his name in a low tone and he instantly responds to it knowing he has done something wrong. The ol' whippet ears go into action. I always use a higher tone when he's playing so he understands the difference. Seems to work.

    My boy Cody loves bread. He has eaten most of a loaf of white bread while I was at work. He was fine, but the vet recomended setting out extra water, because he would be thirsty. He was able to digest it with no ill effects. I now have to have the bread up on top of a very tall cabinet about 5 feet off the floor.
