    **BRAT is asking us all to take a few seconds each day to help them out.

    By voting in the "Spring Shelter Challenge" they could be in line for some very serious financial aid. The Spring Shelter Challange started today and in order to put BRAT on top, we all need to stay the course and vote every single day. This challenge ends midnight Aug. 22, 2010.

    It only takes about 40 seconds to vote and in that little bit of time you can insure that hundreds of our beloved Basenji's get the care, love and happiness they so deserve.

    Please give 40 seconds a day for our breed.

    You won't believe how great ya feel the other 23 hours 59 minutes and 20 seconds….:D

    A great big 'Baroooo Thank You' goes out to all who vote...;)**

    I thought I'd bump this to remind everyone to vote…. BRAT is #7!

  • **8th place..??

    :eek::o:eek::(:eek::confused::eek::mad::eek:**

  • 8th not so good! I see though, that BRAT Tx is still at the top of the USA rescues!

    Keep voting, friends!

  • Well, I've voted. my question is, Who is this 'Col. Potter Cairn Rescue'? They seem to be far and away in 1st place. Yes, I could 'Google' but I'm lazy about that kinda stuff.:D

    I don't know, but if we all keep voting everyday we can ask em as we pass on our way too 1****st. :rolleyes:

  • **Just a reminder to please take the time to vote each and every day.

    We're almost halfway thru and still barely holdin on to 7th..:rolleyes:

    **

  • I hate to say it, but do you think some people have found a way to vote more than once a day? Not that I would do this (I am soooo ethical), but it does make you wonder how one group can be so far ahead of others.

  • **We are about to be passed by some 'Blind Cats'. :eek:

    Now we moved up to 6th., but passed by 'Blind Cats'. :o

    I don't know of any Basenji that would want us to allow that to happen.

    So step up folks…..BRAT is counting on all of us.....every day..:rolleyes:**

  • **Not only did the 'Blind Cats' get around us, but we never got past the 'Cat House' either…..:eek:

    How will I ever explain this to my boys..:o :confused:

    We need to right this wrong..:D**

  • 9th place–-:confused:

  • **BRAT's in 10th place and there's only two weeks left.

    This should NOT be happeneing…....:(**

  • I am still voting, twice when I am at work, come on everybody vote for Brat!

  • I appreciate the intent, but it is cheating to vote repeat times. And if from same IP address can result in your votes being disqualified, not just day of vote but all. Don't risk it. Play fair, vote once, and nag all your friends to help ! :)

  • I vote from home and from work which is two addresses. I only work p/t so it isn't everyday, in addition I couldn't vote for three weeks because I was away, I will be away for a further two weeks so wont be able to vote again.

    My daughter also has basenjis and can't vote because we share ip address so my work one is on her behalf, it isn't cheating. We both want brat to do well.

  • They slipped a notch! :( I am sending this to everyone in my address book… I rarely ask or send mass mailings... maybe once a year, so hopefully it will help. Just one big effort by all of us here may be a great one!

    PLEASE help, we have slipped and need your help. It's down to the wire... unless your fave is in top, why not throw your vote to a group that can win... say... the one that got me Cara?
    search under Garland, TX and Basenji Rescue and Transport will come right up

  • I have been offline for 3 days so haven't been able to vote - hopefully i'll be ok for the next few days. It's such a pity as BRAT Tx held a good place at first. Come ob folks!!

  • **We're barely hanging on to 10th. and this Sunday is the end.

    Ya probably already know what needs to be done…...:rolleyes:

    Thanks for all your votes....but don't stop yet....;)**

  • We hung on to 10, and I sent it to everyone I knew, posted on facebook. I tried!

    Does anyone know what 10th overall gives BRAT? Gosh knows after the FL rescue they are very much needing money. :(

  • I vote every day. I guess other groups have more people helping them.
    Sigh.

    My dog had an adverse reaction to the Heartworm edible I gave her, do you possibly give one? if so is it maybe related to that? I had to switch brands and she still doesnt feel well for 1 to 2 days after I give it, but it is not as bad as the other brand. Her symptoms were changes in consistency and color and frequency of bowel movements, she didnt eat, and didnt want to be bothered. And she ate grass.
  • I have ''issues'' with my basenji, can you help ?

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    This is the main problem right now, I suppose. The civil war's in the Republik of Kongo. I have been talking to a owner of Avongara Basenjis, who's daughter has been in Afrika with the last big expedition. And she had the same thoughts than I have: we thought, that if there are some Basenjis left (the ones which have not landed in the cooking pans), they are spread all over the forrest regions. Most of the human inhabitants of this region have left their houses for the next bigger city to find a little security and help there…. it is absolutely horrible, what mus go on there. But similar actions in other parts of Africa (Mali and Burkina Faso are always at the border of war like actions) plus in lots of these areas there are now many refugees from other areas which make the problems not easier for the habitants....http://www.azawakh.com/azawakhfriends/english/index.html Regards, Esther

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
