Such an exciting time for you all. I hope to see wonderful photos soon.
You can do it..be strong Jennie…I can't wait to here of Ochre and see pictures too.
Im one minute excited, the next scared witless ;)…
Mr Saba is off work today, and he has just one to buy all the stuff to make the whelping box, it is now a reality... Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
Whelping box square is now done… Just have to put the pig rails in, put the waterproof base on, cut out the door, and its all done... Yaaaaaaaaay 
It is moving along nicely..so exciting.!!!

LOL and if your bitch is like any of mine, that is the last place she will want to have her babies!…. Favorite choice of mine was under the bed or in a cabinet behind the pots and pans!
Oh Tanza you just bought back some stressful memories for me
Our very first litter of ACD's, we had the whelping box all set up in our bedroom. She was doing everything really well, when suddenly she decided, (at the very last moment I might add :rolleyes:), to jump up on the totally unprotected bed, and out pops number 1… Thank you Dallie, really appreciate that :rolleyes:...
Eventually get Mum and bub all settled in the whelping box, when once again, she decided at the very last minute, to have puppy number 2, on the bed in the spare room :eek:.
This went on like this for all 11 pups, all the beds were completely stripped and washed, and there was an awful lot of cleaning to do, to get the house all spic and span again :)... She was incredible, the way she just found any spot she wanted, then popped them out, cleaned them, I put them back into the whelping box, and then she was fine, UNTIL the next pup was ready to make an appearance :):):)...
OCHRE WILL NOT DO THIS...
Exactly Saba…. that is why all of our beds have water proof fitted mattress covers!...
Ahhhhh but Ochre wont be able to get to ANY beds ;). Our beds are on the 2nd floor, with a baby gate stopping anyone from getting upstairs :D…

You are under estimating the will of a Basenji

the will of a pregnant basenji at that….;);):):):D:D
Can you post a picture of her while pregnant? I'm just wondering "how" pregnant a trim basenji usually gets.

No No NO…
It cant happen, it wont happen, will it ??? Surely she wont be able to scale a baby gate, that she cant get over whilst not pregnant :eek::eek: Please dont tell me she might !!! I already am scared witless, I dont want to have to worry about her trying to get over the gate as well ;););)

I will get Mr Saba to help me put up a pic of her, today… She is generally such a beautiful slim, trim, fine little lady, and now she looks like a blimp ;)...
I had to laugh at her last night... I was taking her outside for one of a number of wee's she's been doing lately, when she spotted a wallaby... Well off she went to chase it, (on a lead I might add...). Absolutely no co-odination, nor speed, and the wallaby was long gone, by the time she got to where it was... I did laugh at her, Im sure even fat me could have gotten to it faster than she does at the moment :p... Bless her...
Ochre at 2 weeks…
Ochre at 3 weeks…
Ochre at 4 weeks…
Ochre at 5 weeks…
Ochre at 6 weeks…

Ochre's belly shot…
Well I really hope they have come though... I still have NO idea what to do, but when we have time I will write down EVERYTHING that Mr Saba says, so hopefully I can put more pics up myself :o
So how many little bubbies are in the 'oven' ??? Guesses anyone ??? 
Very interesting. I have not seen many pregnant dogs (or overweight basenjis, for that matter) before. There's no mistaking what's going on!
I'll take a wild guess and say… FOUR! I have no idea.
What a pretty girl!! She's definitely pregnant I think she'll have four, three girls and a boy
You have to post pics more often!! They are great!
I'm saying 5 (3 boys, 2 girls)…btw, she looks much like my Ruby did when she was pregnant - like a pygmy goat!
She is glowing :), I love her belly bump. Pygmy goat is exactly what she looks like to me as well..
I think 4 as well, but two and two..
Yes for more pictures..:)
