@dagodingo I am also in communication with the rescue. I’m trying every angle.

@debradownsouth Thank you for the positive support. I’ll stay on here and hopefully someday in the future will post a picture of my new pup! ❤️🐕

@debradownsouth Agreed. We’re trying Vaseline, Benadryl and trying to keep her from licking first and crossing fingers it heals. Fecal test next if no progress. She did seem to not lick as much yesterday with Benadryl so trying that again today. I’m keeping a close eye on her!

Great news! Curled up next to me right now is my little Basenji girl! I had a very pleasant experience with BRAT and they met me for the transfer this weekend. Once I saw the dog I wanted on their website, the process went very smoothly. On the other hand...still not a peep from the local Basenji rescue.

@debradownsouth The 12 yo is no longer available. She’s curled up next to me right now! 😀

@dagodingo I am being consistent. I posted in case there was something obvious I hadn’t thought of. How could I get angry at that cute face?! Thanks!

@yodelma Your “vibe” is way off! Just because I’m excited to get a basenji doesn’t make me self-absorbed or arrogant, but it does make you sound judgmental and rude!

@debradownsouth Clarification - Rescue ran fecal test 2/14/2018: NO OVA OR PARASITES SEEN. No new fecal test since this issue appeared is what I meant.

@tanza Thank you. I have contacted BRAT and already heard back from them.

@zande

@pepper Thank you Pepper. As a previous Basenji parent for over 20 years (2 basenjis), I’m ready, willing and able to add another to my home. To clarify, the rescue I contacted previously was independent, not BRAT. I did contact BRAT today to see if I have better luck with them. I did not intend to insinuate that after a week I should have a dog, just that some communication would be expected. After all, isn’t the idea to place rescues with appropriate rescuers?

To some of the others... I also didn’t expect to get attacked on here and I personally don’t tolerate bullying in any environment, expect me to defend myself when I need to. If you don’t have anything nice to say, well, then don’t.
