    @kjdonkers Thanks for answering so quickly! I'm glad & happy to hear the boys are doing well! It's great to hear that they got hired by a Company & you said it perfectly, ... "their special skills and talents". :)

    I plan on putting some money into a savings account monthly, about $75. All the fine print scares me, and I don't want the hassles if something I thought was covered is not.

    The fanconi test needs to be ordered from the OFA website, https://secure.offa.org/cart.html Have you talked to Nilo's breeder about health testing. Without pedigree information his tests alone don't provide a very complete picture since disorders like PRA are late onset.

    When in doubt see the vet. Animals can be good at seeming not in pain when they are.

    Don't worry Ivoss, I wear the pants ;) I do most of the care taking & 99% of socializing the dogs either myself or with Andrew in tow. That may be Andrew's opinion, but fortunately he isn't allowed alone with the dogs… j/k of course. Sort of. ;)

    You really shouldn't treat them both equally - first dog first is always a good rule of thumb. My daughter bought a house and moved in this week and her basenji is having a difficult time of it as well - too much too different - but she's getting it. Kristen had put vinyl down in a small office in the lower level and made it a 'dog room' Thumper has a big pen with warm cozy things, lots of toys and her varikennel should she need to be alone in her cave. IN the previous house she had the run of the house but until Kris is sure that she knows the rules on where to stand if you want to potty, etc - she'll be confined there when no one is home. She is not amused with Pergo floor - too slippery!
