She is a cutie.Enjoy this wonderful breed!
Basenji-less in Austin, Texas
-
I measured him with a piece of typing paper, lol. He's about 8" tall and maybe 12 long? Like a long-bodied chihuahua.
-
Batman is very cute, thanks for posting the pic
-
Batman is cute! Love the ears!
-
I have the cutest picture of him playing with a 150# Saint Bernard mix. I didn't get the shot of him trying to BURROW under the big dog's chest, but it was some kind of sweet. And Foolish, the big guy, didn't care a bit.
-
Great - I should think he could easily disappear in the St Bernard's mouth!!
-
Patty, Batman has no fear and seems to have a preference to larger dogs as playmates. There was a Boston Terrier puppy (we think they are about the same age) who does not know how to back down. Batman got very cranky and moved from play to STOP IT really fast. Dugan doesn't get dog messages at all. Batman decided Einstein, the Catahoula (100#) mix and Foolish, the Saint mix (150#) were his faves.

Okay. I'm about to BURST. I just got word that my home visit is approved. Now to wait for the vet okay and then to set up when to go get my girl! If I were a Basenji, I'd be doing a B-500 around my work. Think they'd notice?
-
I am so happy for you Arwen.
-
Wow, Arwen..I am so happy for you..can't wait to hear that you finally have her home with you
-
I have the contract signed. Will be sending it in when I get home from work. I'll be calling the foster tonight as well. WHOOO HOOOO!
-
No longer Basenji-less in Austin. Nayru is at my apartment now. She and Batman fell in love at first sniff. Literally "sniff?" RUN PLAY RUN PLAY Collapse on couch together for nap. I couldn't have asked for a better interaction. I'll post pictures soon.
-
Oh I am so excited and happy for all of you..jippea..it finally happened..
-
Oh yay!!! Now you need a new thread

Thanks y'all! I uploaded one picture but the others are on Facebook. Forgot to send them to myself to upload for sharing here.

Hooray!! I'm so glad the two get on well - obviously this was meant to be. I look forward to the pictures. hope you have many many happy years together.
-
Congratulations!!
Awaiting pictures with bated breath. -
Psst, go to "Show Off Your Dog" and breathe. LOL

OMG I don't know HOW as this is a subscribed thread, but I missed this. Then got notice of an Arwen adopting Nayru in TX and knew it must be you. Senility is a sad thing but CONGRATS big time! Now have to go find your new thread and pics.
Debra, I do hope you can find your Chow. As an ex-groomer, that is a breed that I was never very fond of. The good ones were amazing but the bad ones really ruined that breed for me.
Chows… I adore them. But stupid owners and bad owners can result in nightmare dogs. Chows not raised right do have a lower bite threshold than most dogs I have been around. Chow breeders deny it, but we have had chows in my family ... well since my mother was a child so all my life and 20 of hers. Someday join our FB chow group and meet what they should be like... almost all of us pet owners too, mostly rescues, so not the cream of the crop and still great dogs because in great homes.

One of my chow customers was named Tedioso Great. Teddy was an amazing dog. We called him a lab in a chow coat. Then a fellow groomer clipper burned his groin area. He never even flinchec, much less bit. They brought him into the office to show the burn (it was a fairly bad one) and Teddy jumped in my lap. LOL I think he thought I could save him. I adored that fuzzy lump.
Others? Oh wow. Most of my stories about them involve stitches and plastic surgery. Not on me but on my fellow groomers. I charged a premium and made the owner stay with the dog.
