    Hahahaha Pat.
    I spoke with Marilyn yesterday and was advised on how well Kiya needs to be treated. :)
    Its gonna be interesting to see how well Chance gets along with Kiya. Since he has become a typical teenager he likes to show that he is top dog. :)
    Its gonna be an exciting weekend!!!!!!

    So on the potty pad thing: as you know Dallas is only 3 months & I decided to try the potty pads. Honestly, for me they didn't work. Out of the whole dang package I only actually went through 4 of them before totally giving up. Of those four, that is the amount of times he actually went on them. One of those four he actually went half on the carpet & half on the pad. Then I finally gave up on them when he caught on that they were indeed shredable so he started dragging them around the apartment & trying to shred them. I was done. Haven't used them since & amazingly, no accidents in the house for over a week now!!! :)

    Congratulations! I still remember bringing little Lenny home for the first time. It was like a tornado was running through the place. Potty training seemed really easy though, he just did whatever Tayda did… I always joked that Lenny probably thought his name was "Tayda-and-Lenny" cause I always called them together...

    Good luck! It will be so fun!

    Alex and I are crossing our fingers that potty training is quick and painless on our house. I remember (wish I didn't) Chance learning to go outside. That sucked. I hated when he would jump on our bed and just pee :(
    Were excited to have a new little one. We have been told that girls train quicker with potty training. LOL

    @Basenji_Boy:

    Congrats on the second.;) Let the games begin.:D

    Let the games begin is soooo right Basenji Boy!! I had no idea what I was getting into when I got my second B, a little girl, a little over a month ago!! Well I did, but I didn't expect it to be so much fun!! Basenji 500s, wrestling matches, fights over bones…..It's a blast! The good thing is the older B, about 13 months old, is really helpful when it come to the potty training thing. They also do a GREAT job at tiring each other out in the back yard!!:D

    It is amazing how the first helps with the second. If you have the first set in your routine, the second falls right into line. We are temporarily housing some 4 month old basenji puppies they brought from Africa and they're almost house trained:eek: , it's only been three weeks. We did very little, the other B's did the work for us.:)

    I'll always have two or more.

    Good luck with your babies, have fun!!!!!:D

    Speaking of Potty Training. I made a quick stop to the local pet store last night to pick up some last minute supplies for Kiya and found the Puppy Go Potty. I decided to give it a try BUT the sales person made the mistake of showing me some other type of potty box which had astro-turf. I of course had to buy it too. I can't help it….I spoil em. Now she has a choice on where to potty...They told me that if one doesn't work that I can return the other. :)

    You should call animal control and report a dangerous dog running loose. No one should have to deal with that type of danger when walking their dog.

    If a pill is bitter, I coat it with butter then put it in cream cheese. If the dog is getting suspicious, I put the cream cheese in some canned dog food (a rare treat) and give each dog a bite, then the pill covered with he dog food in round 2. Once they taste a bitter pill, they will never eat whatever the pill was in again! Anne

    I have flown with a dog of mine several years ago from England to USA. He was on as "extra" cargo. I had to pick him up at JFK and go through customes with the usual paperwork and check him in again at the ticket counter of my airline. I have also worked for a major airline and know that the pets are kept in a separate area and no hazardous items such as liquid oxygen are in the same hold as the animals. Most newer aircraft have that separate cargo holg heated as the air is very cold outside at cruising altitudes. I was extemely nervous and frank;ly scared about the flight but he did great. England has a six month quarantine but you allowed to visit your pet. I do agree with Pat…any way it is a tuff one for you...Good luck...

    I found this neat brush from Wal-Mart that runs by battery, and it is suppose to do the trick. It was once advertised on TV, suppose to remove the dandar and its a snap to clean. Sahara is shedding alot these days, I didn't have a battery so I couldn't try it out. Will let you know tomorrow.

    @jessi76: I used a dog daycare often when my dog was young, and still use it on occassion. I looked for the same things ChaseandZahrasmom's mentioned, but I also chose the one I use because it's the same place I train my dog. The staff in the daycare knew my dog from classes, they used the same training methods throughout the day (so it continually reinforced what we learned), and it was double fenced & gated… even inside. on my dog's first day he only had a human buddy all day. then on day 2 he got introduced to another dog, close in age/size/temperment. day 3 they added another friend. They kept a file listing his "friends" so the staff always knew what playgroup to put him in. They took special care during the cold months and rainy weather to keep him warm & dry. and they only crated for 1 hr during the work day. the place I use is $25/day, which to me and my budget is alot of money, but I also think it's a very fair price to pay for the quality of care my dog gets there, which is really most important. If you have multiple places to choose from in your area, I'd drop by un-announced, so you can see what a typical day is like. Showing up without an appointment sounds like a good idea. I didin't think about that. Thank you :)
