  • Yea!!! I am so happy for these basenjis. And bless the souls for the ones who took them in… Thank them for us. :)

  • Yea - happy days!

  • Thank goodness. Please thank the good-hearted soul that adopted a pair of older dogs. Though I consider my 13 year old "middle aged"!

  • That's great news!

  • Hi everyone, it's been a while and I hope this post finds everyone doing great!! I recently got an email from Niles' and Lulu's new owner and wanted to share the great news!
    They now live in peace and harmony with their new basenji sister, who is the same age as them. They have a 3 mile walk to the mailbox and back everyday (I think they live in the mountains in one of the Carolinas), and when they aren't walking, they are relaxing and enjoying life.
    Lulu went to the vet and it turns out that she had a pretty bad thyroid disorder. They are getting that under control quickly and she is gaining energy and losing weight.
    All in all, the dogs are in a great home with a wonderful man who understands the breed. I couldn't have asked for a better situation for them!
    Thank you to all of you for your help and guidance through this sad situation. A sad situation with a very happy ending!

    Sincerely,

    Some things cannot be fixed. I urge you to get a qualified behaviorist (veterinary) to evaluate him. If he is truly unstable, rehoming him is not fair to him or the new home.

    My dogs are secured in crates or the bedroom (Rotties were okay behind a gate, I'd never trust my basenjis with one) if the door is open. Every time, every single time, for my entire adult life. So yeah, dog bolts, the person failed to secure the dog. Unless some person enters if you don't know it, tree falls on house, burglar comes in, police raid your house by mistake etc… if YOU open a door, YOU are responsible, not the dog.

    Ms. Vicki, you are the greatest! I've been thinking about this boy since you posted him. It's really cool you're giving your time and experience to rehome him properly. With your patience and the assistance of your wagging-tailed brood, you should have him turned around in no time!:) Hey, tomorrow's Thursday…any word on this boy?

    That's what I was guessing, Jannie, but I didn't remember your name, just Gracie and Roxie's. Must be all those years of being known as "Gena's (or one of the other kids') Mom" and knowing other mothers the same way. :p I'll let you know as soon as I talk to Laura today what's up. Thanks again, Alex. I know we've had issued with bots and trolls, so I understand not recommending posting email addresses.

    I know, Jennifer, but I was just saying "Yikes" because our name is also Reed. No need to apologize! Terry
