Yes congrats! Also, hope Tucker's blemish is gone & he's doing well :)

I know some breeds have raised water/food bowls so the dogs are "level" when they eat. Don't know if this will help here, but its worth a try.

Vet said that he might experience fainting spells. I'm assuming that if blood is unhealthy, it can't do its job properly. Things like carry oxygen, nutrients and toxins to the appropriate organs. I'm hoping the best case is he will go from unconsciouness to death. He got hit by a car about 10 years ago and got his pelvis screwed back together. Other than that he gets around fine. thanx

We decided to take Booger to the vet this evening. The doctor seems to think its just allergies to something in his environment. He recommended antihystamines & possibly antibiotics. He said if those don't improve it, we might want to have a culture taken from his nose. So we got some Benadryl, and hopefully his condition will improve over the next day or two.

Soo sad for the pups and their new families. But what wonderful news for you. :)

Our lab used to shed like crazy if anything stressed her. You'd think it she was like a porcipine throwing out quills. I have noticed that Jayden (who has no reason to be stressed by anything) is currently shedding. But in his case I think it is because the weather has been so weird. I think he started putting on a winter coat when we had an unusually cold spell in November. Now it is unusually warm….I think his body thinks that Spring has sprung and it is shedding some of his winter coat. Pat

Interesting - I'll keep this in mind.

If your dog is prone to filling his/her glands there are foods you can feed them to help out – such as sweet potatoes and pumpkin -- search the threads.

What a great present! Hope he continues to get better.

Topper loves to eat dirt and he gets a good diet and a vitamin/mineral supplement from the vet. I think he likes the taste!

Please strip test her… or do the DNA test... and find out her status.... It is important you both her and you......

I used to have boys that would stop eating and get thin when females in the neighborhood were in heat. Glad he is eating and hopefully he will gain back his weight soon!

Dallas has gotten into chocolate a time or two. He got a hold of a butterfinger just recently & had eaten half of it before I found him! He's never had any problems post-chocolate, thankfully.

Thanks Lisa…when the time comes, I'll be asking for them. Orangevale wouldn't be that far either. While Auburn is our first choice..especially hubbies, we will also be considering some of the other towns in that area in Placer County.

Good job for doing your homework before you bought and fell in love with a basenji companion

OK, so apparently the new user CP with messages cant be used to give out an email, so I will try again another way. Maybe Alex will be able to get my emails, he's had quite a few problems with my emails in the past. and I don't want another infraction. On a side note, what is the point of being able to talk with all sorts of people online if you can't talk to them outside of a forum?

That is such wonderful news, we are so happy for you!!!:D:D:D:D

We checked the OFA site, and spoke with Liz who forwarded us to John Kirby. The test may have failed & they might be re-running it. John said he would call us if we needed to retest, so hurry up & wait some more!

some raw some dry food a mix of vegetarian formula and sevarl other wiht tuna, chicken carrot,beef turkey…. she chews alot so we give her real bones and assorted edibale chews.. her coat is amazingly smooth and soft and glossy so i dont think she is shedding nails becasue of her diet

@Kananga: Feeding him a little food before bedtime seemed to do the trick. He slept throughout the entire night without any issues. :) Great news….
