It's hard to wait but take it from me; enjoy not living your life by the clock while you can..once the puppy comes you will find yourself looking at that clock and setting timers to go out to potty, eating…enjoy peaceful sleep and freedom..because once the puppy comes its a prison sentence for a little while (not to sound like a downer..lol) I was so excited to pick up Oakley that I picked him up a few days short of ten weeks; I wish I prepared a bit more mentally for such a huge event..Oakley was a tough cookie...so glad puppyhood is over! I miss the tiny body and cute little wrinkles but that's what pictures are for!! Lol
Congratulations and don't rush it, be excited for it but enjoy the time

Congratulations on your new family member! Love her name!!! Don't be surprised that if it is raining, all her careful training goes away. MANY Basenjis HATE to get wet. A raincoat can help...at least it does with my rain averse Binti!

I’ve taken her out once in rain and yes she does not dig it at all. Luckily I have a lower covered deck at my house so I can Take her out dry

.I would suggest you be careful with rawhide. I quit using rawhide chews and bones when one of mine got a piece lodged in her digestive system, causing a partial blockage. We were lucky to get it shifted without surgery. The other potential issue is that dogs can get quite possessive about those when they have become softened up a bit. My girls would go to war over them and even growl at me if I removed one when it was getting sufficiently icky and small that I was concerned about her potentially swallowing the remains whole. I didn't like the possessiveness and resource guarding that seemed to result.
