Hi SallyO! What part of NJ are you in? How long did you need a sitter for? Let me know. My cell is 6094892823

sounds like allergies to me. if it turns green it could be a sign of something worse. is it in one or both eyes?

heck no, congo would probably just cry and run in circles. however, i don't ever worry because he looks like he could probably do some damage. now if they almost stepped on congo, he would scream and scare them lol

oh my. she is adorable and so thin. :( i wish i lived in france

I would take her in a heartbeat if I had room.. unfortunately I'm pushing my limits with my father already, as I've saved a few cats while living with him again. She sounds like a wonderful dog. I have no doubt that the bites were provoked. Dogs, especially Basenjis, can be very sensitive. If you don't understand that you're dealing with an animal that has feelings too, you're in trouble. I will keep her in my prayers. May she find the best fur-ever home!

isn't it just wonderful?! :)

went to the vet today. he said i caught it early. he didnt hear anything in his lungs, but his glands were enlarged. he gave him a cough supressant and antibiotics. after putting a humidifier in my room, its really helped his nighttime coughing fits. so he has another apt in a couple weeks. just going to give him lots of rest and his meds. he will be good as new. doc said he's in great shape for his age. could use a teeth cleaning tho! haha

I work at a doggy daycare/boarding place. I brought Congo in a week and a half ago, and he's now getting very sick. There is some sort of "virus" going around at work, however it's not kennel cough. They supposeably did the test and it came back negative. We run a very clean facility and this has really taken us all by surprise. Whatever it is, it's very contagious. Anyway, the next available apt is on Tuesday night so I'm going to take him to the vet then. I feel so horrible. I hate seeing him in pain. Has anyone ever experienced any upper respiritory infections/kennel cough before? He started sneezing/coughing the other night, now he's gagging and hacking. Anytime there's pressure on his throat, he has a massive coughing fit. He just seems not like himself. Ugh!! Any advice before I can get him to the vet?? Anything to make him more comfortable? I put a humidifief in my room so hopefully that will help. :(

he's very handsome!!

i may actually be moving there!!

like most basenjis, he is probably very misunderstood.. like i said, i would take him in a heartbeat if i lived closer :/

It doesn't matter whatever the circumstances are/where. Here's the issue, Nikita needs a new home! Stop bickering and help her find one! People make mistakes, information gets misinterupted. We're only human. She obviously cares about her otherwise she would have just put her up on craigslist for free. I would say if you can't find her a home soon, you should surrender her to BRAT as I know she would be in good hands and SAFE. Good luck with getting yourself back on your feet. Last year I lost my job and had to move back home where my parents didn't want Congo. Thankfully he was able to stay with a friend until I was able to convince them to let him stay with us. (a month later)

oh no! i would take him in a heartbeat. if i were you i'd get him and then call brat. they will help!!

oh that's so exciting!! i wish another basenji lived near us.

They have a number of different tags and you can even create a custom one. Here is the one we bought Loki months ago. I loved this website because my husband can be really picky about things and we were actually able to find a tag he liked after literally weeks of searching!

that's a great pic of Loki!! love the tag! did you submit it to dogtagart?? they will love it and display it on their facebook and website!

Does anyone have vleash? It's a free (or you can subscribe) service to dog tag art customers. Basically, when you create a tag you can add vleash. The other day Congo slipped out of the house when my dad was at home and I was at work. He followed a woman who was jogging and she looked at his tag. On there it says see profile online vleash.com/congo so she went to his website. On there it had everything she needed to know about him and how to get in touch with me. She called me ASAP and he was returned safely. I was SO thankful that I ordered another tag! This is a great service. Check it out!

Congo started barooing a few months back! His one year adoption anniversary passed last month. He gets so happy when I come home after a long day of work, he can't help but break dance, yodel and wiggle his curly tail. After working with normal DOGS all day, it's wonderful to be able to come home to a dog that's so not… doglike, haha!
