Pee pee and more pee

Behavioral Issues
  • I am very sorry for your loss, Rocky was a great friend and you did everything humanly possible for him. I hope you find some comfort knowing that his last day was a good one, and you were together. You did the hard thing, but the right thing, for him.

  • Oh my, my heart goes out to you. Reading your posts as you've gone through the last few weeks makes me want to cry. Sweet thoughts and prayers to you and your little one who will miss Rocky so much. Wishing you the strength to come through this, grieve, heal, and move on to the day when perhaps you can bravely love another basenji.

  • It has been 24 hours now and I still wait to hear his nails click across the floor, with a grand run and jump! onto the bed.

    Thank you all for your kind thoughts and well wishes. I will always miss my Rock. What a wonderful introduction into the world of basenji's he was. He may have been my first, but he will not be my last.

    My girls and I sorely miss him… as does his buddy, Torgun (Papillion).

    Even knowing this was coming doesn't make it any easier. But I thank you for all your advice and comments the past year. You truly helped me to live with a very sick dog... we all know life with a basenji is never easy. But it's a wonderful ride while it lasts.

  • My heart goes out to you in Rocky's memory. It is so sad, losing our loved ones. You did the everything right for Rocky - he is no longer in pain. I wish you many happy thoughts of Rocky to get you through this very difficult time.

    I am so sorry to read about Rocky. My thoughts are with you, and your girls :(

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. You were an amazing mom to Rocky & as much as it hurt, you did the right thing for him. My heart goes out to your & your family during this time of loss ((hugs))

  • My thoughts are with you and Rocky. You were lucky to have each other.

    I know what you mean about listening for his nails - all your routines. When Pasco died it was making broccoli for dinner that got me - he used to wait next to me while I cut it up, knowing I would give him some. The first time I made it after he died, I just cried. But it made me smile about him, too. Here's to all your good memories about Rocky.

  • My dear friend sent this to me when my beloved b had to be put to sleep.
    I am sharing it with you.

    "I have sent you on a journey to a land free of pain, not because I did not
    love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to stay"

    That really was the way it was for me, I think for you as well.
    Hugs, hugs, hugs.

  • I'm so sorry his time was short. And I'm sure you will meet again.

  • This whole story is so sad and so sweet. This thread really needs a new, more respectful and descriptive title. Even though I understand the desperate frustration in why it was named this at the start.

    {{{hugs}}} to you, Rocky's forever mom.

    I have noticed my female besingi mix (18months) of age becoming more and more agressively towards me, children, and other dogs. She is very well socialized however she is becoming more dominant, wanting to nip at faces agressively when playing with dogs who too want to attack playfully at the face. However, she has become very aggressively to mommy when trying to keep her outside while I vacuum and she absolutely hates the vaccum and having the door shut closing her off from me. SHe tried to bite my arm (very agressive face with fangs out and fur up) last week and I had to use a broom in order to shut the door. Additionally, she snarls at children. Khloe and I are the only 2 in my household, so no kids and no one else. Only few friends and neighbors stop by but lately she is getting even more aggressive towards them, even if she knows them. I do not know what to do. We were kicked out of puppy training when she was 4 months old b/c she has severe leash aggression. She does work well with a clicker, but I dont always have the clicker on me. My vet today told me to come on here to see if you guys could potentially help or lead me to the right direction of contacting an animal behavioralist. He stated Khloe will only get worse if nothing is done. Additionally, I do not spank Khloe, I only use a clicker, but obviously does not show her that I am the dominant one. SHe also demands all of my time to the light up laser for hours on end and will not give up. Please help! Vonda

    @Lesco: We got her from Debbie Hauri in New Hampshire Welcome and congrats on your new pup…how exciting! Is this one of the pups from the Tango & Dora breeding? One thing that I did when I brought my pup home last winter was set up a crate, a litter box (with wood shaving pellets - equine pine) and put an xpen around it (also had a top on the xpen). That way when Liyah was crated for an extended time when I wasn't home, if she had to potty she could use the litter box. It was a great setup and consequently she never went to the bathroom in her crate...sometimes she partially missed the litterbox, but she was just a baby so I was happy she did as well as she did. I left the crate door open with treats, toys and soft bedding so she would choose on her own to go in the crate to sleep. I clipped the xpen closed. If you have space, I highly recommend this sort of setup so that your pup can keep her crate clean. The only other thing I would add is don't hesitate to contact Debbi with questions. She is a wonderful person, super helpful and a good breeder. Not to mention she is a good trainer so I'm sure she'd have plenty of tips. Please post pics when you get a chance...we love pics!

    Had a Corgi at the bark park come up to me, look at me with the cute face Corgis have, then lift his leg and pee all over my shoe. I gave him the same line I give She-Ra: "You're lucky you're so damn cute!" :)

    @dcmclcm4: Sorry, I did not know the dog came from Carol Ann and is a full af. My second response is automatically the Fanconi health issue and testing. I hope she gets better soon and no longer has a temperature. For Bs with an unknown background, I recommend urine strip testing starting at two since there have been affecteds showing symptoms at three. I do this for all of my rescues but I also do the DNA test. That would have been mine also….. about testing for Fanconi..but I remembered that she came from Carol Ann............

    @-Clar|Emm|Kai-: …Uhh, is it bad to admit that I don't correct my B when it comes to the coffee tree people?... =D That'll teach em to stand around! :D The thing I see most at the dog park is humping.
