  • @senji:

    Yes, I have questioned my sanity as well !!!! If I'm not crazy I probably will be soon!!!! I should have lots of crazy stories to share on the forum !!!

    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!

    That's great! I wish you so much luck and thank You for taking them into your home!


  • The girls are to fly out Tomorrow…They should be in DC by tomorrow evening.
    I'm hoping to get them this weekend...its so hard to contain my excitement !!

    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 !!!:)


  • Woo Hoo good to hear they made it! Please keep us updated that the adjustment goes smoothly.

    And don't forget the pictures


  • Congratulations!!! That is so great that you adopted two–and older!!!! It is definitely harder to place two together. My Tyler and Zoey were at the SoCal basenji rescue for almost two years before I came along. You may find that issues come up between the two now that they are in a new home. I had issues after a couple of months, but everything settled out, and they are doing just great.


  • EXCELLENT news!!!! Congratulations! Keep us updated!


  • Yay! kepp us posted on how they progress…and post pictures when you can!


  • Well,,,,,???????? How are things going? We just added a third BRAT dog so I feel like I can relate to your situation and I am curious as to how your new babies are doing.

    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]

    Or take them both, and be relaxed about it all. The less anxiety in you, the calmer they will be.

    Okay, that is interesting. An 'aloof' owner and 2 outgoing dogs - go figure.

    I have a very good friend at work who lives somewhat in the country and has lots of what she calls "barn cats" around her. When she first came to work at my office she had 2 cats, hers and her mother's, who had come to live with her, since then she has "adopted" 7 more from her yard. She started feeling sorry for them and started putting food out there for them. Her husband has finally said "no more". She is a "good" cat owner as she has spayed/neutered each cat she has adopted and keeps them inside. Now she has become involved in rescue of the rest. If she thinks it doesn't really have a home she will try to catch it, take it to the vet for a check and spaying/neutering, try to get it socialized with humans and other cats, then try to get it adopted out. She does all this with a little bit of help from a rescue organization and a break on price from her vet but she is still out of pocket quite a bit and I respect her all the more for her commitment to the betterment of the lives of these forgotten animals.:) We all wish there were more responsible cat, and dog owners, for that matter, out there like her.
  • And then there were 3….
