We finally got out dogs a cozi cave which has been a life saver. The now sleep in that at night and my husband and i are our alone space. I love my dogs but not enough to give up my time at night with my husband. When they get up at 6am to go outside they can come in the bed then but genrally it's just penny that does. Charlie will go right back to the cozy cave like a good puppah. I know they wish they could sleep in the bed with us cause at night I have to lay by the cozy cave untill they fall asleep (doesnt take long) so they dont get out and try and get on the bed. I feel bad soemtimes but it's just too much. It's like letting your children sleep in your bed every night … its just not doable for me. I miss snuggle time with thme so now we watch movies in our game room instead of inbed and stay out in the living room longer at night to watch tv so they can snuggle with us. But once we say "bed time" they know where to go. It's made the world of difference for us.

@Patty:

Let us know after you've been to the vet. I assume it's not irritating him? Poor boy - it looks nasty.

he keeps licking it so it makes me think it does bother him and Penny licks it too but she licks him like crazy anyways, she's like the annoying motherly type who can't stop fussing haha

its not raised or in a ring shape so im pretty confident it's not ring worm but its looks a lot like demodetic mange. I know it can be common for puppies to get it cause their immune system isn't as strong. I guess I was just hoping it might just be a rash cause he literally just got over kennel cough he cought at the park.

The picture is at the top of the message, can you not see it?

I just noticed my male has this patch of missing hair on his right front leg last night. I took a picture of it cause I wanted to see if people thought this is mange or ringworm. He keeps licking it of course and i tied to wrap it in gauz but he just torn it off. What are your oppionions. I have an appointment at the vet tomorrow but I take him to the dog park a lot so i dont want to go tonight if it could be ring worm.

Penny LOVES to sleep with us. She is very impatient so us to get settled and quickly tries to get her spot right in between Patrick and I which is adorable but i usuallu move her to either one side of Patrick or me so we aren;t separated. She will look at us and digg at the covers saying "lift them up so i can get in now" lol I just love when she sleeps and her sweet face. And when she is out she is OUT lol i can lift her up, mover her around and nothing! But man does she snore lol seriously for such a little thing, i sometimes have to adjust he head so she doesn't. I have never had a dog quite to cuddly and i love it and so doe my finace. Nothing better than the love of a basenji

@Ellusionz:

I've just swapped my dog to Wellness Core. It's high in protein which I was told is really good for the basenji breed with how active they are. Also grain-free. But they say it shouldn't be fed to dogs younger than a year. They sell it at Petco. There's also the regular Wellness that Petsmart carries thats been rated just below the Core. I researched the ingredients in the brands on dogfoodchat.com

I thought about going with a high protien …. i'll deff look into that for next time after this huge bag is done

Thanks everyone!
I actually got her Blue Buffalo lol which no one suggested but i had look into a couple weeks ago and then finally decided to try it. I read tons of good reviews on it and from people at my local dog park. So far she likes it (i mixed her old with it) she kept picking out the BB so i guess thats a good sign
Thank you again tho!

Penny is officially 1 and at the end of her puppy food. I was trying to find a really good holistic dog food and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. She tried Halo once and loved it but its $55!!! I know my friends use Eagle Pack Holistic. Any suggestions?
I was feeding her Iams but she has never been to crazy about it.
