I have to place a great boy

  • How wonderful to hear of another 'happy ending'..though bittersweet for Brandon. It is very selfless to put Ansel's needs before your own. Someday when the time is right, I'm sure another wonderful dog will come into your life. And until then, you will be able to follow Ansel's life, as this is an "open adoption." Kudos to everyone involved in helping a good thing happen.

  • This is about the happiest ending you can have in this situation. I think you all make this forum a special place.

  • Here are a few from my phone to hold you over until he gets to his new family. I am so happy I got to be part of Ansels journey to his new home. It was a pleasure having him. He was such a sweet dog, so laid back and up for anything! A good cuddler too! Click the picture to make it bigger- not sure why they are so small!

  • What a great looking boy…. glad to hear of a happy ending....

  • We drove 10 hours round trip today and got to pick up Ansel. We added an H and we will call him Hansel. :) hope that is ok! He is a Wonderful boy. He just acts like he has lived with us all his life. My husband was snacking on an oatmeal pie and Hansel wanted a bite. He would not give hansel a bite so hansel sat up on the couch and faced the wall and would not look at him!!! it was sooooo funny! so I got a canine carry out treat and then he was happy. haha
    we had a good drive. the boys are good together. jonny is soooo laid back. hansel has let a few growls rumble but otherwise things are reall happy. thank you to all that helped make this happen. already jonny is coming out of his shell in just a few hours! updates and pictures often. thanks again! i cant get the pictures on here but they are in my album. take a look! :) thanks again.

  • Ok I think I got the pictures attached!

    what a great day! thanks again!

  • Jonny B,

    What a great ending and beginning for H-Ansel and your family. I am sure y'all will be very happy and content for many years to come.

  • On Tuesday, our first real day of SUMMER vacation, I let my son sleep in and took HAnsel for his morning "relief" walk and when we got home, My son was coming out the garage with jonny b., and HAnsel ran right up to Riley and said " heellllooooo" . It surprised us both so much we just stared at each other and laughed. When my son told his dad, he just kinda when " huh". Tonite HAnsel said helloo to my husband. Blew him away. He didnt really believe us, but boy now he does. it was soooo cute. We are having so much fun with the "boys".
    Sarah, the door got here today. Thanks!!

    Doesn't surprise me a bit. He was always encouraged when he spoke, and he can get some pretty cool sounds. He usually yawns in the morning too. He will also do the yawn if he doesn't want to do something you tell him to do, but will do it anyway. Just his interesting way, I guess. I am glad you are getting to see his personality. Has your husband taken him for a ride yet? It was the way I always could bring him into stores, so he ended up loving it. I got it from seeing some photos of Africans carrying their b's like that.

    Thanks for keeping the updates going!

    Brandon

    Our B went to a family in another state. They have had Bs in the past and really wanted another one. The only home that may not have understood B behavior was the first one with the elderly couple. The family we got him from wanted to keep him but had a child who was allergic. Our daughter wanted to keep him also but could not have a dog where she is living. We have 6 other dogs, and felt we could not give him the attention he deserves. We would have liked to keep him, but believe he will have a better home where he now is. Thank you for your concern. Marilyn

    Khanis… talk to me about the twins. We just had to put our guy down and I'm looking to add a "young male" to our household. I might even be able to add two if I play my cards right with the hubby... just send some info and I'll see what we can make of it.

    Hello Everyone, first of all let me start by I'm truly sorry for not responding back to you sooner ~ I have no computer @ home and the only one I have full access to is the one @ work and work has been hectic lately… any how Yes this is our first litter, both Dam and Sire have all their medical records up to date as far as their vaccinations abd keeping them heart worm free, their both on heartguard and frontline the dam although did get her hips check for hip displasma before we even thought of breeding, The vet said our dam was perfect and should have no problems at the time of birth. as far as the line of basenji's I'm currently looking into that I beleive they are from different lines unless your asking if their related if thats the question the the answer is NO. (the dams face looks more like fox and the sire face is not as pointy)... last but not least the Sire does have show Champion in his immediate line. please write any additional questions. bottom line, I just want to find good homes for the puppies... Take care everyone, Maylin
