    Thank God it is Saturday!

    I am sitting here 8:15am watching my Teevo'd American Idol and the house is quiet. Caesar (my red b boy- 6yrs) and Cairo (brindle b boy - 11 weeks) are both curled up in their basenji balls and are sleeping. My cat is slinking around it the quiet waiting to be pounced by the boys.

    Cairo, my puppy, is curled up in my arms sleeping after giving me my daily dose of kisses.

    Caesar over on the couch is probably like me (notice i am awake super early on sat), trying to catch up on zzz's while the young termite is asleep. Caesar is my dual parent. When I am worn out he takes over. It's amazing, he comes out in the morning,sleepy like me, but there to help occupy the little man during his morning basenji 500s.

    It is so funny, the moment he wakes he becomes a crazed oral fiend. Touching everything with his chompers! He is like a little termite the entire time he is awake. Caesar has little scabs on his neck! Found them yesterday. Cairo is chewing on him during play and his teeth are like little knives!! LOL….

    Oh wowez me! It is so tough having a cute cuddly puppy! LOL....

    He has plenty of chew towys and teething items, it is just way right now! I would say the best chewing item for him right now is an old leather belt.

    I forgot that the puppy stage was all teeth!

    I will post some today from work.

    Cairo has definately hit a growth spurt. He no longer looks like a roley poley puppy. His rib cage is larger than his belly and his nose isnt so rounded.

    He is working on his 12th week this week I think?

    Yeah, those are wrinkles that say," mom i am tired of Cairo chewing on me".

    Caesar has little scabs on his neck from Cairo chew playing on him, and Caesar is so patient with him!!

    Good luck on getting a picture when she is still, if she is anything like our 2 she won't be still very muvh. Our Bitty does this thing, when she comes up on the bed at bedtime she will flop down facing directly away from us and then bend her head back mover her shoulder to look at us.

    Nemo's on to something. A good B&W could pull that off without an accomplice though.

    I would have to agree with the others. Surgery is pretty tricky especially if the dog is on meds. Some medication is mood altering. If you could possibly wait at least a week to bring in the new dog that would be ideal. Males usually recover pretty quickly and are back to normal within a week. This will give your pooch some much needed rest & healing time. To introduce the dog I would have them meet in neutral territory some sniffing & such & afterwards I would take a nice long long long walk around your neighborhood…like 2hours at least. Let them get used to being together with you on your walks. I would even make it a routine for a while until they get used to the pack order. I would also suggest RULES from Day #1. Establish the rules of the house so both dogs understand that you're the boss & these are the rules...My rules I don't allow the dogs to hoover while I make their meals. They have to be sitting calmly until I'm done. They eat in separate crates & before I put their dish down they must sit & give me eye contact. I do the same for treats and toys...everything is given only if they sit calmly & give eye contact. There's no jumping on me EVER...if they do this they get my back which they hate because they love mom's attention :) Good luck to you :)

    Yes,,,,I know I need to change my name,,,,,,,thank goodness the "kids" havent seen it yet or they may think I only love two of the three of them,,,,,ha ha. Also, we have thought about fostering a BRAT dog. I am a teacher so I have the summers free. We decided to wait until after the spring though to sign up because my son is a senior and I am afraid the spring will be to crazy to try to help a BRAT dog that may have some issues. However, we would be open to the transporting. BTW , Senji, we are going to the Northwest part of IL (about 25 miles from Iowa) soooooooooooooo if you want us to make Czar our first transport that can be arranged!!! :)
