If you live in Charlotte, NC and need a pet sitter - Call Deb of Rubs and Walkies!

    I just wanted to post this recommendation for Deb of Rubs and Walkies. Unfortunately for us, she has moved from Providence to Charlotte, NC, so we can't benefit from her dog whispering ways anymore. However, if you live near Charlotte, NC, you're in luck! She is getting her business up and running there - so if there is any basenji on the forum who needs some TLC while their owners are away on vacation or just in need of daily walks and attention - call Deb!

    Deb watched Tayda and Lenny when Ondrej and I were in Europe for 3 weeks and on multiple other occasions for long weekends, late nights at work, etc etc. She was absolutely amazing and I would highly, highly recommend her. Tayda has to be pilled everyday for her Fanconi and Deb took a lot of extra time and effort to learn to pill Tayda the way we do, and to make sure that everyone (humans and canines) were comfortable with the whole procedure. She's prompt, thorough, responsible, friendly, trustworthy, and she is a dog lover through and through and it really shows in the way that she treats her 4 legged friends. She is also an amazing photographer and sent us pictures of the B's during her email updates of how things were going. I could go on and on about her, really.

    So if you're lucky enough to live in Charlotte - call Deb. She's the best.

    Awesome! I live just outside of Charlotte and have to travel pretty frequently for work. Always nice to have a personal recommendation.

    @buxton-s-dad I remember tracing your boy for inclusion in the database on line and finding two further siblings from that litter. So - this morning I went back to the AKC website and discovered two more from this litter have been registered - so I have 5 in all from the 6. They will all appear this evening after I have finished entering all the incoming OFA test results !

    :D These stories are so funny My 24 yr. old son moved 5 hrs. away and needed some help decorating his first apartment. Of course Dad and I told him we had a few things he could use and we would love to visit the weekend. My son said, "Mom bring Sahara, don't board her". My son is part owner of her, and I told him I would love to do that but if I crate her while we are gone to dinner (we were going to dinner with his new girlfriend) she would scream and make awful noises and his neighbors would probably think it is a woman in distress. Besides he had just moved and you have to pay to have a pet, and even for visitors, like $250. He fussed and said it will be alright, I want to see her, but I did convince him that we didn't need to bring her. Now I know we made the right decision. I bought my B from a petshop and she cost me $1, 500 and he talked me into buying her by giving me $500 on her. My husband almost busted a gut when I told him the right price (I did hold the total price from him til I got her home) now he wouldn't take 5, 000 for her, he dearly loves this dog. They are buds and she loves him also, it was a great choice screams and all. haha:D :D :D :D :D

    I too have flown with a pup in a Sherpa… one thing, be sure that they have a not been fed right before... and also the longer you can keep the pup awake, the more likely they will sleep the entire time. I kept the pup up and playing for at least 3 hours before the flight... and I do mean playing hard.. (I was pretty tired too...)I also did a 5+ hour flight, no accidents. But a friend of mine had a great idea... and it does work, take along some puppy wee/wee pads... you can go into the bathroom, put down the pad on the floor and let the little one go... however with as short of a flight you are doing, I doubt it will be necessary....
