Crate for sleeping at night should always be in the bedroom with their people. Should be close to the bed. I use wire crates and typically have more than one Basenji so the crates are all next to each other, but still in the room we sleep in. If an only Basenji should be next to your bed that that your pup knows where you are and you can dangle your fingers in the crate to assure them you are there. And cover the crate to make it more den like. Agree with a "crate buddy" stuffed big toy... and this crate buddy should only be used in the crate at night. I have never had any of my Basenjis sleep in any other room other then the one I sleep in. I also agree that in a car any dog should be confined in a crate, period.
There's a new girl in town…

Well to be terribly boring my partner has decided to stick with the name Mia (which I still think is a pretty name) but has decided to be really clever and add an H to the end - Miah. From my two minutes of research online however I've found this is Italian for Mine, to hold dear…which is sweet. Not exactly African or even relevant but I like the name none the less.
Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions. We're picking Miah up today at 11am - very exciting!! I'm sure we'll have some pictures of her up on the net very soon.

If her registered name is Fayrelyn Tyger Ella, why not just call her "Tiger" (either spelled "tiger" or "tyger")?

Mia is a fine name! Looking forward to hearing (and seeing) all about how it went!

We have ended up calling her Miah, with the H. And she is taking to it well. She had not learned any part of her registered name.
We took our two dogs to Brisbane with us to see Miah and arranged with Freda to meet at a fenced off-leash dog park, which worked out great. It gave us extra time to talk about everything we hadn't covered over the phone.
I have a few new pictures…she's still in that awkward "what's that thing you have in your hands" phase where she won't sit still for the camera or does a goofy look. :p

Well funny you should mention you call her Mia…we named our pup Mia Pharaoh, part for the actress and part because she's from Africa, we thought it was fitting and people seem to think it's clever

Yeah, I had the same situation… I wanted to give her an african name, but I am Italian and my husband fell in love with the name "Bella Bambino Biamondi" and since she was a gift from him...
So, here is the meaning: Beautiful Baby BOY!!! :eek: Okay... I ooopsed:rolleyes: My Italian language knowledge is obviously lacking. She should have been Bella BAMBINA (the "A" makes it feminine)! LOL:D But the papers were already done!!! Oh well...;) Oh, and Biamondi was a family name before we came from Sicily.
I absolutely adore the name Miah, and she is just as adorable as her name! -
Okay, once again… I got started on an older post!!! Duh
