We are all here to help you with an new basenji, be it rescue, or pup, but please, make sure you have time to devote to this pup…like you would to a child...
2 legs or 4, they all need to be babied until they are growm....

Have to agree with what Sharon, Andrea & Pat have already said…hold off on getting a pup until you have more time and enjoy the baby time with Aiden. I think the other thing, is that if you introduced a pup even within 6 months, Aiden will still be baby and the puppy will already grow to adult or near adult by the time Aiden is a toddler. An adult might not be as tolerant of a toddler pulling (ears & tails) & poking. Just a thought.

:D So we decided we are going to keep Jack we found a behaviorist with some interesting ideas on how we can train Jack. And he is doing GREAT, in fact I had a few friends over yesterday and we were ALL playing with Jack and Aiden and had NO problems!! (Jack got into the bathroom trash but thats normal @@) I'm VERY excited about not having to let Jack go…Im really hoping this works because so far (knock on wood) thing are going GREAT! I wanted to thank you all for the support and I promise to let you ALL know whats going on and how things are progressing!! IM EXCITED!!!!:D

I am so happy to hear that it looks like it will work out okay. I felt so bad for all of you! Keeping fingers crossed!!!

I am so so glad to hear this. It really did sound like you and your hubby cared enough about Jack to overcome these trying times. And I know it would be so so difficult for you to give Jack up. I really hope things work out–and it sure sounds like you are doing everything possible to make it work.

Please do keep us updated.
We are all so hoping this all works out for the whole family!

I am so glad you are keeping Capt. Jack, I know you both love him. Now he will learn to love Aiden as well. Please keep us posted, I am so happy for you both and the Captain too.

Wow.. that is sure super news…. ....

Excellent! I hope the training does the trick, but you may have a few "2 steps forward and 1 step backward" times, just keep up the work and be patient. New babies are one of the many reasons basenjis get placed in rescue, it is just overwhelming to have the new baby, no sleep, and a dog whose world has changed and may not react well to the changes. Sounds like you have found a good person to work with, and Jack will stay your boy after all!
Good Luck,

I have been away from the forum for a bit of time due to work and well since we have our 2nd B, my hands are really full at home but I decided to come in and check on my old basenji friends. I remember when you frst announced ur pregnancy and have followed you through the whole thing and reading up on Jacks attachment and behavior with you. I came on and was sad to read that you had decided to give him up, though I do agree at that time, it was best and now I'm so happy to read things are working out. I wish you the best and look forward to reading more updates. Best wishes!

ew. :p
Maybe it's a re-establishing of his "ownership" of you, since you went away with "the new guy"?
Just a guess…....
