Kudos

Basenji Talk
  • Thank you so much for the warm words and thank you everyone for being part of our community!

  • Yes, kudos for testing… and hugs.... there is also a B-List for people with Fanconi dogs that you might want to join.. lots of support. It is a yahoo list and you can seach for it... they only have people on the list with Fanconi dogs...
    Don't know where you got Stormie from, but if a breeder please be sure to let them know....

  • @red:

    When I joined this forum last July, I did it on a whim. I didn't really expect it to have the impact on my life that it has.

    I will mirror those sentiments. My forum experience has touched me in so many ways. The friends that I've made, the people I've met in person and several rewarding experiences to look back on, all due to these curly tailed dogs and this forum. We can help each other in so many ways and everybody wins IMO. You hear so much and have to be careful with people via the internet, but sometimes you get a gut feeling and have to go with it………..my gut hasn't failed me yet……very classy people indeed.

    Thank You R&Wfurever, we wish nothing but good things for Uncle Stormie and his B-Mom, we are so happy to have helped.

    Thank You Alex and Vanessa, this forum helps so many, you should be proud.

    Special dogs, special people.:cool:

    The breeder is no longer in country, but we will contact her and those she's entrusted her placed dogs to.

    Thanks for the support Tanza.:) :cool:

  • RWF - Your words have touched me (sniff-sniff). Yes we're blessed to have and be on board here with the wisdom of many Basenji enthusiasts. So glad that you found the FS early on and pray that Stormies treatment is a smooth transition. Stormie probably won't even know there's a problem as he continues having a long healthy life with you. :)

  • R&Wfurever- I echo your same sentiments!! I don't know what I would do without this forum. I feel like I'm in good company & somewhat "normal" being a B owner :D

    I imagine this is a difficult time for you & Stormie but everyone here, as great friends will be an amazing support for you both. We were keeping our fingers & paws crossed but I guess the outcome is what it is.

    We have lots to still be positive about & have every reason to believe that we can look forward to a REEEEEAAAAAALLY long life for Stormie.

  • Since Jojo is my first B I have found this forum to be very helpful and boy the info you can get…it is a wonderful place to come and share your stories and concerns and questions about your fur baby...thanks...

  • Would you be willing to share his pedigree with us? Public or private? Many of us that breed keep records on Fanconi dogs so that in considering breeding we know what is going on…. at least it helps until we have a DNA test...

  • Thank-you everyone for the kind words. It's amazing that an internet community can do so much!

  • Red & White Furever, it's the rocks that a stream encounters in it's journey that make it heard.
    Because of the rock you and Stormie have now encountered, we are all abel to hear your words.
    Thanks for your message and know that you both will be in many hearts and prayers in the days ahead. :)

  • No matter where you are, we are here.

    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.
