@debradownsouth Thank you for the kind words but I have to admit... I take young adults for my own convenience. I simply don't have time, stamina or energy to deal with the pups as adorable as they are. Having a puppy is like having a baby or too! Did I mention I was not into children and babies or can you guess?lol. I love the retirees. they are already used to crates (although Ollie is now somewhat recalcitrant about getting into hers because she would rather hang out with her now "Mom", lol!! They travel well. They are usually somewhat used to people. Ollie is not used to playing by herself and is just getting used to "big" breeds. She doesn't get the commands "sit, down or stay" yet but we are working on it. She is the champ of the "heel" command however!!

Congrats. I too rescued an older (3) basenji and love him so much! He and the 2 cats are finally getting along. It took about a year on one of the cats. He likes to lick and "flea" the other one.
Good Luck! -
My B does not lick. I like to think it is because he is leaving all of the licking to our other dog Angel. She licks everything and the cat's behind is one of her favorite recepients of a good lick. The cat just looooves that! lol. Giz just sniffs, sniffs and sniffs some more.
