  • Nice job! that blue looks very pretty on him.

  • Handsome Lenny in his new duds….great job!

  • Very nice! And a perfect fit!

  • Here is what the coat looks like! Pretty simple design

  • Michelle,

    Thanks for posting a picture of it for us not so brilliant seamstresses..I will definitely try to make on of these for my cold boys and one girl..

  • Hey if you want I can trace it onto a piece of newspaper or something and mail it to you… would just need to have the admins pass along your address....

  • Would be awesome..I will email admin and have them give it to you..

  • I really like your/Lenny's sweatshirt! I am too lazy to attempt it without a sewing machine :)

    For knitters out there, here is a link to a VERY simple sweater that anyone who can knit a scarf with a simple knit stitch can master. It allows for variation/customization with more advanced stitches/techniques as well. My first one turned out OK, I made a few minor adjustments on my second attempt and from then on they have turned out better and better with each one I make.

    I use size 9.5 knitting needles and 2 strands of the cheap red heart brand acrylic yarn.

    WARNING: dogs who chew can quickly unravel a hand knitted sweater simply by chomping through a single thread! ;)

    Here are a few examples…

  • He looks adorable, thanks for sharing the up close pic of the coat. I may be able to make this one, it looks fairly easy! By the way, how is Tayda doing on the protocol?

  • Knitting is something that is completely beyond me! Love those sweaters though! Thanks for the compliments on the coats though - Lenny thanked me today by stealing my eggplant off the counter and eating the entire thing!

    Tayda is doing pretty well on the protocol - her blood gas levels are "too good to be true" according to Dr. Gonto. So all is well in that department. She appears to be in the stages of renal insufficiency - I have to take her back in a couple weeks for follow up bloodwork to see how her kidneys are doing… fingers crossed her BUN and Creatinine are normal....thanks for asking!

  • Ohhhh, I can't knit… I'm talking about the other one (I CAN Sew)! I'm glad Tayda is doing well! I hope the kidneys check out good, I know that UTI is common in fanconi dogs...

    That's fantastic! You really are talented :) Seriously though, it's very hard to find good coats for basenjis..I'd be interested too!

    @hdolbow: he wasnt too happy with me, or her, at first… now they play... he can jump on the bed or couch to get away if he wants time to himself...he wont lay next to her yet shes starting to mimic him.. if hes laying in the sun on the couch, she'll lay on the floor with the sun shining in the window.. :) i think he would like her more if she wasnt into biting everything lol And until she looses those teeth… there will be lots of times he is not happy with her... but the one nice thing about having an adult B in the house is that he will teach her "biting" manners much better then we humans ever can...
