Excited for the new arrivals!

    wow! that's a lot of good news. And I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I feel I must warn you about getting a dog named Pearl. A few years ago we adopted a rescue malinois named "Pearl". I did not know that "pearl" was short for pearl-petual motion.

    good luck to your parents - hopefully maybe they will post pics here.

    I'm hoping for wild times! :D Pearl is a total sweetie, my parents had a mom's day party and she was a big hit. Poor doll is still feeling a little lost but I think security will come eventually. I will certainly lean on them for pictures, Mom is normally willing but has no idea about computers ;) so I'll try to teach her when she visits me. I'm excited for some Basenji play dates with Dan and Curlytails !! Someone will be bound to take some photos.

    Lauren,
    We are also thrilled about Pearl, Kevin and I think Tucker will be even happier having a pretty red head to play with. I told your dad yesterday we laugh everyday with Tucker and I just know they will enjoy him. Tucker officially goes to them 5/28/11 so I will take my camera for the meeting and post photos. Fingers crossed its love at first site, I suspect it will be. By the way Kevin has nicknamed him Tick Tack Tuck, it makes his tail wag.
    We have really enjoyed fostering him for his breeder and former owners, he is the son of my boy Ace and has very much his dad's personality. Hope we get to meet you as well in the near future.
    Therese and Kevin

    Thanks so much for your kind words Therese. We are so looking forward to the coming weeks, and I am certainly looking forward to finally meeting Tucker myself. I do indeed suspect that we shall meet one day in the future. I would be quite honored myself to perhaps one day have a little FoPaw of mine own…. or I I could always steal tuck from my parents. :D

    Oh no! Poor Quinn. The past few months have been rocky for him. You really are an amazing person for all you have done and continue to do for him. I'm sure he knows that he is loved now. Sending happy thoughts and hugs to both of you!

    Exactly what I think/feel. As the owmer and mother to the dog we are bound to keep a better eye on them than nobody…right? It is almost like a slap in our face when they say they have to keep them, but oh, yeah, no nobody stays with the animal overnight...are you kidding me? I would push the issue as best I could to see if either they can guarantee supervision in their clinic overnight, or she is coming home with me..

    I leave Luny in the kitchen mainly because that has flooring that won't be harmed when he spills the water bucket (I got one of those flat-sided ones that hangs with not a lot of water but he still makes a mess with it). When I leave in the morning it's dark out anyway. Lately he seems "resigned" to having to be in the kennel when I leave for work - he no longer howls and doesn't pee in it and doesn't tear up the rugs much any more (I can tell he doesn't really like it though). He doesn't hate the crate because he'll go in there readily to be fed and look for treats so that's good (EL D never would go near a crate and he would actually destroy one if forced). Luny's still a little anxious when I "disappear" even for short times so I'm not sure I can trust him loose in the house yet but I'll work on that. I leave him a kong with some peanut butter smeared kibbles - he hasn't yet learned (as EL D did early on) to toss the thing around so trying to lick out the insides keeps him occupied for awhile. We're progressing I think.

    I wish I could take credit for this post, but it's just information that BRAT shares with folks who are either fostering or adoption a basenji. BRAT really does try to cover the bases with inof re new dogs and owners.
