I can't stop this feeling!!!!

  • It's easier the second time around. The little one will be preoccupied with her older playmate. Plus you'll know what to expect.

  • Once puppy fever sets in you are already a lost cause :D

  • I know, it's been growing for a while, just waiting for a good excuse, somethhing other than fever to justify with, the prospect of moving is perfect!!!!….......hahahahah , just caught Ayo chewing on the bed sheets as I was writing this..!!!!!! :-)....

  • Cool blog…Moth!!!!

  • Nothing like a puppy! IMO…...... I'm sure that Ayo would love one too!

  • Ayo in march 2010…

  • hahaha, welcome to the club!
    I had Shango, my older boy, and wanted to add a second. Everyone thought I was crazy until I actually did! I rescued Newsom and now have a beautiful Basenji duo who LOVE each other and play so well. I can't imagine life with just one….it's absolutely a joy to have two and the other posters are right- the second one does seem to be easier because they have us so well trained from the first! :)

  • I worry that I may be getting in over my head, I also have Rosie, so that would make three.. I am actually a little concerned that I may not be able to handle three of them comfortably on walks etc… That it may be harder to take them places if there are three of them.... i don't know. But then I think, who cares, I'm sure it is that way for everyone that has several dogs... I think moving from here (my apartment) is definitely one thing that will help me decide. If I do move then it will be an easier decision...

  • I have permanent puppy fever but I can't until we move and shouldn't even then. I'll probably adopt an adult chow or rottie. Having lived with a fighting situation and managed it for years, I just don't want to ever do it again, and I don't want a male so I'm pretty stuck.

    It is hard to believe Ayo is so old! Oh my I remember drooling over the puppy pictures!

    So talk to breeders, get on a waiting list with them understanding you are not SURE and not for however long you think it might be before you move. Or maybe even FOSTER another dog, does not have to be a basenji, and see if handling 3 dogs is what you want to do.

  • I know.. time flies … already two and a half.......
    You are so right,, i guess the thing is I am envisioning a bit of a change in my living situation, where I may move to a bigger place and also maybe have the possibility of going to the mountains on a regular basis. This may or may not happen, but I guess I will know this year. If that happens then I definitely will want another.

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!

    Oh, I think the cat will realize her limitations as Chance's growth progresses. Right now, the banter is tolerable for both, otherwise this play wouldn't be possible. Atleast cat realizes she can escape over the baby gate. She'll only get better at it. Think of it as good practice for both. Hopefully! :D

    I live in North Carolina, right on the coast and we have hot, hot, humid summers. Sahara loves to sit on the back steps and lay in the sun, but only after I have frozen her with AC, haha! She hates the cold, when I got her it was still cool nights here and I had a time getting her potty trained b/c she just hated the cold weather. I could not find any dog sweaters to fit her, she was only 8 wks. old, the stores were out of them, so I got smart one night and made her one from the arm of one of my husbands hunting thermal underware. She was much happier then once I got it on her, she hated me putting that thing around her neck and legs. I have her sweaters now, got them 75% off this summer. She hates the rain also, but she has on great ocassion gone on her own to potty while it was downpouring, wonders of wonders, most of the time I have to put a leash on her and pull her outside when it is raining, she will go, but not unless I keep saying, "Go Potty, Sahara". She runs like a mad dog back through her doggie door. Can't wait to see what she does if we have snow this winter, should be interesting.
