    Hello-

    I live in Grand Rapids Michigan with my five month old puppy. We are planning a play date with three of the other puppies from the litter and thought we would invite any area basenjis as well.
    June 16th we are all going to meet at the hillcrest dog park around 12pm. If anyone else is in the area and would like to come let me know.
    Thanks for looking!

    How nice for the invite and wonderful to get all your pups littermates back together! Let us know how it goes. I'm interested to know if you can tell they remember each other. We're about 2-1/2 hours from GR - not exactly nearby. Hope you all have a good time. :)

    I do have to say the play date was quite fun. I was great to see how pretty they have all gotten. I was most interested by the way that they were so much ore territorial over the park with their siblings around. Piggy is almost never aggressive with any dog (showing teeth, etc) but with her siblings it was war. They learned to play and had a great time though :).

    I would love to get some Bs together for a play date. I'm starting to think Lenny may only be dog aggressive with non B's. He and Tayda spent a month with 6 other B's and it was fine!

    Anyone near the Ann ARbor, Michigan area?

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    As mine age I try to keep a bit of weight on them because I know they may reach a stage when they just don't keep weight as the organs weaken.

    It sounds like a contact allergy to me. The dog's stomach is touching something it is allergic too. Like Ruth said, grass or weeds that may (or may not) have chemicals on them. The fabric of your couch or type of carpet you have Cleaning products used to clean carpets or floors Fabric softeners, dryer sheets, or laundry detergents used on the dog's bedding or other items the dog is frequently in contact with. Topical flea products used on the dog And the list goes on I do not trust a vet who wants to hand out drugs and medications without attempting to find out the cause of the medical problem. I would recommend going to a holistic vet that will help you get to the root of the problem.

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome of basenji owners! We're taking a year off of dog ownership to welcome a foster kid. Actually, we would have liked to foster earlier but our basenji boy was not especially fond of kids, and running activity tended to result in him biting someone in the hiney! Our kids, grown now, will definately be basenji owners someday. Don't know whether my husband and I will or not – we loved Rosco but know we got a good basenji, and don't know if we're ready to lose another room full of furniture to break in a new one! Ha!
