hey guys….sorry i have not updated....still no word! we have heard that he may have been being walked by an older man in the park near where he was lost. but we still dont have him back. it'll be almost 2 months! i'm still praying and i know he'll be home safe (hopefully sooner not later!!)!!

we have posters and flyers up everywhere, mom went to all the local vets that are close by with flyers and to notify them of whats happend, all the spca's and shelters in our area have been notified and have pics etc, the microchip company has been notified as well….a reward has been offered on the posters, we check the shelters daily, and we check the body identification list daily as well just in case the worst of the worst happens (thank God it hasnt!!!!). there is an ad in the local paper (havent thought about the radio...i will prolly do that today...thanks for the idea).

my mom has a coworker with two girls that go to the nearby school...both are old enough to understand whats going on and that if someone has him its not there dog....both girls said they would start talking to classmates and see if someone mentions a new dog...etc etc

i just pray that someone got him and thought oh a puppy for an xmas present and is keeping him...and he is safe and warm and being loved!!!

thanks for everything!!! i just have faith that he will be back!!!!

hey guys…i dunno how many of yall are in northern cali but i thought this wouldnt hurt....

i am living in alabama, but i shipped my basenji back to cali (where i am from) to live with my grandmother who is battling leukemia and for my mother to keep an eye on him in august. unfortunately almost two weeks ago, he got out of the backyard where my mom had put him while she took my grandmother to the grocery store for a quick trip. my mother has put signs up etc everywhere and the only news we have is that two seperate people saw him same day he got out very close to my grandmothers house....

he got out monday, december 3rd in fairfield, california. anyone familiar with the area he got out near the kmart and amy blank school. he is microchipped btw. my mom had a lost dog tracking dog out and it tracked his scent from the house to a nearby park, around the park but never leaving the park. we have a feeling that someone has picked him up and they are keeping him. my mother has gone door to door with flyers and to local vet offices. she has contacted the animal control and local spca offices as well. between the family we have listed it on every website imaginable (dog detective, fido finder, craigslist, myspace, etc). i figure it would not hurt to spread the word here as well. please please please if you are from the northern california area please pass the word around.

unfortunately i have no pictures to attach as my computer was stolen the day after thanksgiving with all of my pictures of him on it!! i have posted some pics in previous posts if you take the time to go see them.

thanks for any and all help!!!!

God Bless!!!

i put a lil cream cheese on jiggy's nose….here are the results!!!

my basenji, jig, chatters his teeth sometimes….he does this alot when sniffing and sometimes when he is real excited! any others do this???

try an organic degreaser, trade stores like world market will have them, just gotta ask! sorry bout that…jiggy got in a mess the other day, took a good two times scrubbing to tell that he was really white haha!! glad they are ok and not burned as well!

if you want to try a clarifying shampoo a cheap one is suave its in a clear bottle and the shampoo is pink....suave is generally high in detergents and a bit harsher than normal shampoos.....i had paint everywhere and used it and it worked great!!!

good luck....pictures would be awesome lol!!!

yes i would contact auburn too!! its a very good vet school and they may have the newest information available to help out. i hope your lil girl gets feeling better and through all this is experiencing as little pain as possible! i'll keep yall in my prayers!

@Lenora:

He's a doll all right. Don't you just love it when a basenji's asleep?

of course i love with a basenji is asleep…that means they aren't getting into mishchief!!! of course, sleep could be the time where they dream up these wonderful plans to get into things hahaha!

a crappy a**hole like that doesnt deserve two great basenjis!! sorry to hear you had to part with your pups! GOOD LUCK finding a new one and starting another better chapter!!

Here is a handful of pics of my Jiggy…he is a character! Of course I have tons more, I am a proud momma!
