    I went to visit Mrs. Reeds new puppies and my are they adorable!! I will post the pictures when i get back to my apartment. So I am pretty sure on an apartment and will probably live there till I graduate from Sam Houston. My mom is being very wise about this whole situation and is very helpful. I filled out an adoption form with BRAT and they are so nice and flexible. I am going to have someone come to the house one weekend before the summer. My mom said I could get a Basenji then. I am ok with this decision so i can think of what would be best for me and the dog.
    Oh as far as the apartment. There is a dog park a short walk down the street. The barn is maybe a quarter mile and campus is probably a 20minute walk. I plan to get a bike so I can ride to class but I can also walk with the Basenji

    I have also tried looking at another breed that might be right for me. I think the only dog I would consider is a Golden Retriever. But even then I worry about the grooming and ear infections they get. They are mighty pretty but after really visiting Basenjis (we were there for 3 hours and the time flew by!) I think I'm in love. I got to visit with all of Mrs. Terrys dogs and they had all types of personalities. I love their mischievious personalities but they do it with the most innocent look. Oh and the basenji that comes to our clinic to board finally came back! Was it fate that I got to see her? She is a beautiful tri and her name is George. She can be very cautious and wasn't as friendly as Mrs. Reeds dogs but thats probably because she doesnt like the vet. As far as any other breeds i can't find a breed i like that doesn't need an actual job, such as an aussie, a blue heeler, or cattle dog. And i'm not too interested in toy breeds.

    These upcoming months are definately reserved for thinking. Thank you so much for everyones input and help

    Thanks, Petra and Sarah!!
    The pups had so much fun playing with you! They slept very peacefully afterwards :-)

    And Sarah, I'm impressed that you could post the pictures - I still can't!

    Zee and Luna have had a busy 2 days - yesterday to the vet for shots and microchips, today they went to the veterinary opthamologist for their eye exams. They were SO good, even on lead for the first times!!

    @eeeefarm said in Wet weather exercise: @elbrant said in Wet weather exercise: I wish I could take the credit for Doodle. But she was trained and taught before I brought her home. If she is still reliable you can take credit for that. So many times a well trained animal goes to a new home and within months the good manners and training evaporates. Seen it many, many times with horses, not quite so often with dogs but they don't tend to change hands so often. Unfortunately people often reinforce bad behaviour without being aware of what they are doing, and then complain because the "stupid" animal has developed bad habits! I concur. If it isn't maintained, then behaviors erode.

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    @zande - You bet! We must be showing our ages! Or Been There/Done That! Very few times we disagree, but when we do we respect the others point of view!

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.
