This person has still not responded to me yet and I sent them a revised email explaining the mistake and advice on what kind of "den" would be best. I asked if they were willing to meet up so I could meet this lil fella. I agree with the whole bed thing my little girl is like my sleeping partner, it just doesn't happen that we are not snuggling, My bf get so jealous because her and I have a routine and shes always on my side. He wishes he has a Basenji teddy bear to sleep with heheh!
28+ basenjis need rescued

Thanks so much for the post.
I am so proud to be a member of the BRAT family. -
Thanks so much for the post.
I am so proud to be a member of the BRAT family.Aren't you!? Me too.
I just love being a part of such a great group, even if I am only a very small part. Makes me feel like I am part of something "bigger".
I cant do alot, but I do what I can. I cant really foster, but I like to drive and enjoy "my dogs" for the few hours I have them.
To any one wanting to get envolved–-do. Even if you dont think you can do a whole lot, do what you can. It really makes a huge difference in the lives of these dogs (both from the PMs and regular ones) and in the lives of the very excited people that are waiting to adopt a special BRAT. -
I am fostering Zena and Zora. Christie helped me get them from Liz to MI on Thursday. They are doing well. They are scared, but eating well and seem to understand that the papers are for going potty. They've even begun chewing on a few toys and enjoying a couple of treats. We had to get them new collars as the metal was causing a rash to Zena's neck. They both have pretty new pink collars and new Fido Fleece coats. They have VERY thing fur and dry skin. They are so precious. We managed to get a few pix too today. I'll make them a dogster page too. We are going to the vet on the 5th to see how they are and to do a pre-op for getting them both spayed. Maybe Zora will have put on some weight by then!
Thanks for all the support. Christie, you're wonderful! Thanks for your help in the transport.

We have Susie the r/w 7 mo old female. She is an absolute doll. Eating great and full of energy. She has been going potty outside very well. She slept with my son last night and he adores her. He is not going to want to let her go. Her spay is scheduled for the 10th so we will get that taken care of. I have a question for those of you who have intact females. She is spotting a little blood. Do I need to do anything? Is she going into a heat cycle? Is it ok to spay her now?
She is soft as silk and eating up all the attention. She will adapt to spoiled life very well. She loves playing with toys and has started to gut all the ones that are still ungutted from Dash. We are trying to get her used to the doggie door so she can go in and out at her will while we are at work. Our neighbors beagle pup spends most of her day here as well so she will have plenty of playmates. Liz did a perfect job matching this girl to us for a foster.

If she is spotting blood, then yes she is probably coming into season. Some vets will do a spay when the dog is in season and some won't. It is a more complicated procedure when they are in season because everything is engorged with blood.

here is a pic of our foster.

What a cutie…how is she doing? Sounds like she is in heat...
-
here is a pic of our foster.
What a doll… and I would agree, she most likely is coming in season... and most of the Vets I know will not spay until it is over.... as Lisa points out, it is a much tougher surgery for both the Vet and the bitch....
-
OMG! too cute!
-
What an adorable face!!!!!
I would definitely wait to spay her unless you must because of having an intact dog. It is certainly a more dangerous surgery when they are pregnant or in heat because of how much more blood is in and flowing to the uterus.

Zora is the brindle girl and yes, she is very scared, but is beginning to come up an smell hands, legs, hair. She enjoys milk bones and treats. She also enjoys fish oil. Zena is the one that recently had pups (8 weeks ago or so). She is coming around, but slowly. They are both great about going potty on the papers. They HATE the leash, but we'll work on that later. It seems that it'll be a long road, but they'll get there in time. We're patient and willing. They are so adorable. I'll post pix soon.

Susie is soo soo cute! I'm so happy she is doing so well.

Oh it is great to hear from you. Those girls were just precious. I cant wait to see their dogstar page and see how they blossom.
You are wonderful for taking them in and loving them. -

Ooh, Im sorry, I thought it was the other way around with the names. I thought Zena was the skinny one and Zora was the bigger gal. Sorry, still give them good pet for me

Well…our dogs are not intact but my neighbors American Eskimo is. They assured me he would only be out to go potty and then back inside unless they are watching him. Susie hasn't quite figured out the doggie door so I am hopeful she will stay inside. I will call the vets office.

The breeders on the forum can help you with any/all the issues that you have questions on, re your girl coming into season.
Hugs dear.
I sure don't envy you. -
Have any of the breeders on this list used Lasers re spay surgery?
I understand that cuts down on blood loss a great deal..but have never had it used on one of my dogs. -
Zena and Zora both have their dogster pages up. You can check them out through the following links.
