    Yes, she eats in the crate and we put treats in there randomly throughout the day, as well as meat-stuffed bones chained to the inside (so she can't run off with the bone outside the crate.) She has the run of the downstairs while we are home and sleeps in her dog bed in our bedroom at night. On a side note, when we give her a really tasty stuffed bone or bullystick outside the crate she acts crazy! She runs around aimlessly with it in her mouth while howling. What is with that? It is comical, yet slightly annoying! :) I wonder what she'd do with a bullystick IN the crate?!

    Do you have elder care down there? We have a sort of day care up here for seniors, depending on where you live, you have can supported care.

    WOW!!!..Words to live by!! I commend you for all the effort it sounds like you've put into your dogs. I wish people were more like you…and your mantra should be placed on every B owner's refrigerator door :D :D It's all about knowing your dog & KNOWING their limitations. Respect is key and so is a no tolerance policy. At least that's how it is at our house! :) BTW-I went to a Basenji Fun Match...and A LOT of B's are bitchy snarky little fur balls. Rest assured yours are not the exception. Mine are exactly the same way but we work with them every day on this!

    Since Beta's passing Caesar has stopped being active at home and just lays around in his little ball. He was always the playful one of the two. I have been taking him to work with me every day to spend more time together. He hangs out in the office with me and occasionally has play time with the shop dog. I have been taking him to the dog park on my hour lunch everyday and noticed a strange new behavior. He was attaching himself to every dog in the big dog section and was acting out of place standing by himself. I am sure he was reacting to the absense of Beta. They typically would hang together and inspect everything.I think he always guarded Beta because she was so timid at the park. Today when I took him, he was better about sniffing around on his own. It was just a sad moment yesterday and today a slight improvement to being on his own. I cant wait for him to be distracted by the puppy. I am sure he will show him all of his naughty tricks like opening the stainless trash can lid by stepping on the button…..
