Agree with tanza, it's not good to overdo pain meds. An animal that doesn't feel the warning signal is far more likely to cause themselves harm. We want to protect them from discomfort, but at times that is absolutely the wrong thing to do.
Introducing…(drum roll)...KIARA (and sidekick Ed)

Well I got a second basenji this past weekend, and he is just perfect. River is a beautiful tri-color and he's a true gentleman. I'm waiting for the real basenji in him to come out soon, but his foster owners say he really is that laid back. Nice! I haven't visited or posted in a long time so I'm going to browse for a while…

Awwwwww… look how sweet they are together. Welcome, River!
Is he a BRAT boy? I'd love to hear about how the transition is going. We have a girl who will be 3 next week, and are looking at a boy buddy for her. I've been wondering how you bring a new one into the house and how the Queen Bee reacts. Did you take her to meet him before you brought him home?
Can't wait for stories!

Welcome back to the forum! Your new boy is certainly a handsome one! Glad it is working out so nicely for you

What a sweet pair you have there. Thank you so much for the pictures. How are they enjoying eachother. After having two now I have decided never to have just one dog again, it's so nice for hterm to have company.

Congratulations on your new addition.

Congrats on a successful adoption. I hope your Bs are both enjoying their playmate! Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! They are getting along wonderfully. I took them to an off-leash park this evening and they wore each other out playing chase. Kiara surprised me at how well she welcomed River into her home. I think she was dying for a playmate. She even shares her food with River, which shocked me – she usually acts like she wants to kill any other dog that gets near her food bowl. So I'm pleased as can be with having two. A BRAT volunteer is coming over Saturday to observe how things are going ... wish me luck.
