Oh that pup looks like so much fun! wish i had a spot for her here.
Keoki the Basenji

Keoki has been an only dog so it may take him a while to decide to play…or he may never be as playful. At this stage, just tolerating each other is pretty good! Sometimes it's "love at first sight", other times a pair may just be "roommates" who keep each other company and play occasionally. Like Pat said, it's usually best if they work it out (as long as they are not fighting!). It can take six months for a new relationship to settle.
Great advise….

Hi everyone! It is official! Keoki is a permanent part of our family. We are so excited to have him with us. The funny part was after we made our decision last night it was like a switch flipped between him and Kona. The slept curled up to each other last night, and shared the bed in the sunny spot this morning. Before that they slept on opposite ends of the bed and would not share the sunny spot with each other. As soon as I can figure out how, I will post some pictures and change my avatar.

Awesome news. I am so happy for Kona and y'all, and of course for Keoki. Very good news.
-
I always thought they were telepathic!
Seriously, he may have picked up on your feelings of uncertainty, then felt the switch to "he's ours" last night.

I am doing a genuine happy dance for you and Keoki and Kona too! If I could baroo with joy like my pup does, I would. You will have to settle for the dancing, though, lol.
It is so great to hear these happy endings. Thanks so much to you for opening your hearts and home.

This is such happy news. Good for you! -
Yay! That is adorable that they snuggled together…great news!
-
I swear they can read our minds - wonderful that Keoki and Kona are forever friends - even the names sound like they were meant to be together. So glad you took him in.
-
I agree with Shaye'sMom, they sound like they were meant for each other…even their names.
-
I love happy endings. Bless your heart for giving Keoki a home.

Lisa brought Kona and Keoki to the dog park today to meet the gang! He is a sweetheart, Lisa and her husband just adore him and you can tell Keoki is a very happy boy. He is so mellow, it was like he had known everyone forever, not a single ridgeback or grumble from anyone, just nose-sniff-hellos. He and Kona are cute together, he is tolerant of her puppy-antics. Beckaboo, you can relax in the knowledge that Keoki is in a wonderful and very loving forever-home now. It was really a thrill to meet him.

Macpack, Thanks for the update. It is nice to know that Kona and Keoki are so happy together and that Lisa and her husband must feel so good knowing they did a great thing..
