Thank you for rescuing him, he looks so sweet!:)

I think he'll fit right in… I just have to figure out a better way to put the bowls down faster and further apart... They keep having spats over the dishes!

Wonderful story to a new beginning. Congrats with Miles. Lexi and Miles look so like bro' & sis'. BBoy is a fantastic person in assisting you and helping to bring Miles home. I love his name - fits with his story - if we could only know exactly what he went thru. He's a survivor alright. From here on, he'll sleep so much better. Thank you for saving him.

Yay for you! I am so glad things are working out!
A couple words of advice. Feed them seperately! Don't even give them the chance to fight over food. He is VERY undernourished, and has every reason to fight over food. Lexi is getting used to having a 'brother'..don't set her up to have to fight over her 'stuff'.
Also, please don't 'correct' him in any way for screaming in his crate. For one thing, if he is frightened of his new situation, you are going to make it worse. If he just wants your attention, correcting him (or paying any attention to him) while screaming is going to reinforce it, instead of making it go away.
Good luck! I am so happy it seems to be working for you

That is wonderful of you! Thank you for sharing the pictures, they tell the story so nicely and I'm sure you'll have a transition period but it seems to have gone well so far.
Keep us posted…I know you will! -

You're a lovely couple and now you have a lovely couple of Basenji's. This whole experience has inspired us to join Brat(we are now members) and help other Basenjis in the future.:D
Kudos to you Mr. & Mrs. BDawg, you've done a great thing, I hope you are rewarded for your kind and humane efforts. I think you will be!;)
Special Dogs, Special People.;)
Greetings From Basenji Park! -
Ah hahahahah… Basenji_Boy, your comment left me grinning ear to ear! How cute!! You guys were so awesome and so very generous with everything! I really can't thank you enough! I really think Miles was meant to be for us. He is very special. Without your evaluation, I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to follow through with adopting such a "wildcard" (no previous experiences known). It was so great to get so many pointers from you all! His little tummy is still upset, but he's eating well now. I still hope his ears improve, but the two of them are actually curled up and TOUCHING right now!! WOO HOOO! What a little gem!! YEAH!! I am SO THRILLED!!!!

Oh! I just had to reread it… that little Priceless commercial was so cute!! Makes me smile!!
What a great experience!!PS- Thanks for the discounted winter rates to Basenji Park! hahahahh!

What a great story!! So glad B-BOY and his clan were able to assist you with such a big decision. I can understand your apprehension. I think it's great that we can call on each other for assistance & guidance. I would completely trust B-BOY's opinion on this too! He's got great B experience
running Basenji Park and all.Congrats to you & Lexi on your new furbaby. I'm sure Miles will settle in with some time. They say it takes about 3 months for them to get acquainted with their new environment. Perhaps in time this is all he will need to adjust to his crate. GOOD LUCK & Many blessings to you for doing such a good deed!

I'll tell ya what, Sat. night as I worked on the pictures from the day, the one with Miles looking all content and happy sitting on the floor…...like whew.....I'm glad it's over. In thinking about the whole thing, I got a little misty eyed.........I'm not ashamed to say it either.
It was one of those feel good days!

We had issues with this at first. We found that if we set one bowl down and hold the other dog's bowl RIGHT under his nose, he will follow you and his bowl and leave the first dog and bowl alone.
Congratulations to you and your family! He looks like a sweetie.That Basenji Boy rocks!

That Basenji Boy rocks!
My better half had a great time helping out as well, she deserves a lot of the credit at the Basenj Park end.;)
Miles was amazing too! We let him run around loose in the house and we just sat and watched. Miles never got on the furniture or even looked like he wanted to. He sat, came, stay, like he knew he needed to impress his new family. After he had a bath and settled down, he found a sun spot in the kitchen and he laid down, I could see he wanted to dose off finally relaxing. As I took his picture I couldn't help but think of the relief this poor boy was feeling. That's what made this all worth it, along with meeting some new friends and being able to share the experience.:)
I thank you all for the kind words, trust me it was all good.;)

Hey guys! Wow, Miles is like the ultimate superstar rescue. I swear he's like a dream! I was a little worried that the crating situation would be horrendous. Hubby left at 11am today and he said that when he left, Miles was screaming like a banshee. And that when he drove by, he could hear him from the parking lot. I was worried what I'd be coming home to– poo, a tasmanian devil, the fire department? I just didn't know.I came up the stairs with baited breath... And I heard... nothing! So then it's poo, I thought as I opened the door. But low and behold the two were just sitting in their clean crates waiting for me! WOO HOO!!
We went for a long walk. Miles showed no interest in the cat that was following us (what was HE thinking?!) but of course Lexi wanted to chase after it really badly. We came back and hubby called to remind me that he had taken video surveillance. I got our camera and began to watch what happened. I only got about 20 minutes into it, but the howling was REALLY loud! WOAH! But he started to calm down... So hopefully we more time and trust, that will subside.

Give him something before you leave to keep him busy to forget you left, only give him that treat in his crate…...long lasting chew, toy filled with treats peanut butter.;)
