Call your veterinarian and ask if it's okay if you go there once every other day or so, and just sit in the waiting room. Bring a treat you know he loves. Sit in the waiting room until he calms down and take the treat(s), then leave ONLY when he's calm and relaxed. Don't leave when he's anxious. If the veterinarian and the people who work there are okay with it, make them come and give him treats, praise, then leave. He should soon come to feel like this is a place where he gets treats and attention. At home, work with him on getting his teeth checked, his ears and the rest of his body. Once he's comfortable with this, put him on a table and continue the work there. The floor and a table can make all the difference in whether a dog is comfortable or not. Good luck!
Ziggy gets a B sister!

For all those who know Ziggy (especially the Laurel Canyon B Gang) – news flash! Ziggy is going to get a B sister!
Like Zig, she's a retired show dog. Her AKC name is Reveille Traffic Pattern, but she goes by "Patti" (nothing against anyone named Patti, but I'll definitely pick a new name fo her).
I'm picking her up in 10 days in Auburn, Washington, and will post pics when the new girl is in the house. Woo hoo!

Congratulations! Having more than one basenji in the house means double trouble but at the same time is well worth it.

Congrats!! Sounds great.. a second basenji!

Congratulations to you & Ziggy!
I recently went the same route and added a boy (Brando - also a retired show dog) as playmate to Ruby. If it goes anything like it has gone at my house, you are in for a blast and so is Ziggy.

Congratulations on the new addition to your fam! I hope you have a safe trip up to Washington!:D

I Hope they get along well, we will require photos (of course).
