    Congratulations! Can't wait to hear how they all do once they get used to eachother. I can't look at the BRAT website very often, otherwise I would have a pack of dogs.:p

    Yes I have that problem but these two just really tugged at my heart. They are a little older 6 & 8 so not as many people would be willing to adopt them especially together. We are fine with it. They love kids and we have two so we're hoping they fit in perfect. We're just having a hard time being patient.

    @Basenji_Boy:

    Do the two females get along?

    They've been together forever and could only be adopted as a pair so I would say yes…..I guess I'll find out if they have any issues with each other once there here. They've been crated together while waiting to be adopted so I got them one big crate to share hopefully that works and keeps their stress down.

    Well the girls are here. There is some snarking. The couch seems to be the biggest issue this evening. We did all manage to find a comfy spot and snuggle for a while. I think they'll all be ok with a little time and lots of love. They all want love and pets at the same time. I'll post pictures soon !!!:)

    Congratulations!!! That is so great that you adopted two–and older!!!! It is definitely harder to place two together. My Tyler and Zoey were at the SoCal basenji rescue for almost two years before I came along. You may find that issues come up between the two now that they are in a new home. I had issues after a couple of months, but everything settled out, and they are doing just great.

    Well,,,,,???????? How are things going? We just added a third BRAT dog so I feel like I can relate to your situation and I am curious as to how your new babies are doing.

    They actually played today !!!! Our biggest problems are between Deke and Gracie. Today they got a toy that they fought over before(we took it away just gave it back today) And tossed it back and forth. Then jumped and lunged and NO growling. It was sooooo cute. Now, later they were back to the snarking thing but little steps!!!

    Gracie and Britty sleep in bed with us completely under the covers.
    Deke loves his crate so I haven't changed that he sleeps there.

    It's also made Deke a lot more vocal baroooing and moaning and everything in between.

    Honestly I don't think I'd every get anything but a Rescue again(no offense to the breeders) I just love the whole thing..and it makes you feel good to give these guys a home. Gracie is always making sure we are still here and asking for love. Deke ask for love a lot also. Britty loves to snuggle but not as often.

    How are yours doing? You a few weeks ahead of us.

    Or take them both, and be relaxed about it all. The less anxiety in you, the calmer they will be.

    @MacPack: I'll check it out. My DH Donald takes most of our photos and some sites claim ownership of all photos posted there so he is leery. Sounds easy enough, if I can e-mail photos there, then figure how to get them from there to here, haha! This site actually does that, but since the photos aren't actually physically posted here (uploaded to this site) , but are hot linked, I am not sure how they can be "claimed". That clause gave me pause as well…....and apparently also applies to what is written. It would make for an interesting legal case, for sure, if someone inadvertently posted copywritten material. Of for that matter if the material was posted elsewhere without attribution or with false attribution. BTW, from Photobucket's terms & conditions: "You retain all your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or while using Photobucket. This means that YOU own ALL the Content you post"

    I would have to agree with the others. Surgery is pretty tricky especially if the dog is on meds. Some medication is mood altering. If you could possibly wait at least a week to bring in the new dog that would be ideal. Males usually recover pretty quickly and are back to normal within a week. This will give your pooch some much needed rest & healing time. To introduce the dog I would have them meet in neutral territory some sniffing & such & afterwards I would take a nice long long long walk around your neighborhood…like 2hours at least. Let them get used to being together with you on your walks. I would even make it a routine for a while until they get used to the pack order. I would also suggest RULES from Day #1. Establish the rules of the house so both dogs understand that you're the boss & these are the rules...My rules I don't allow the dogs to hoover while I make their meals. They have to be sitting calmly until I'm done. They eat in separate crates & before I put their dish down they must sit & give me eye contact. I do the same for treats and toys...everything is given only if they sit calmly & give eye contact. There's no jumping on me EVER...if they do this they get my back which they hate because they love mom's attention :) Good luck to you :)
