    Hi all,

    Just wanted to share the good news; Shango and I have adopted Spencer! But we've decided to name him Mowgli after the playful boy in The Jungle Book!

    Here are his pictures, more to follow when he becomes adjusted to his new home:

    He and Shango met without any signs of aggression, traveled in the car for 3 hours together, sleeping in the sun in the back seat. He's very, very submissive and very, very timid; (having a hard time getting him to eat anything, he doesn't know what toys are, and he wouldn't run around the fenced-in field at the end of the street, even when Shango initiated play with him) but he's still very new to the situation so here's hoping that he warms up and comes out of his shell a bit!

    His sister,Olivia is still there is anyone wants to go help the little girl!

    We're very excited to have a new pup in the home, get ready for a LOT of posts from me, asking advice!

    :-)

    Andrew and Shango (and now Mowgli!)

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
