Pet Information Sheet-In Case of Emergency

    I received this link via an e-mail. It must be on the AKC website since it has the AKC logo on it but I have never seen it. It would be good to complete and have for each dog.

    Here is the link:

    I just want to say first hand how having something like this could be very helpful to someone in an emergency…my brother tragically passed away while on vacation 3 weeks ago. as a family my parents & I will be taking over care for his dog Julio. luckily I knew who his vet was and was able to obtain copies of important info related to Julio's care..but had I not known who Julio's vet was my parents would have had a lot of questions regarding care and what was needed for Julio that they would not have known how to obtain. Taking a second to fill this out can be so helpful to someone left to care for your pet in an emergency.....

    So sorry to hear about your brother's passing Sonnyboy. My thoughts are with you.

    So sorry sonny boy…

    I've thought a lot about this as I'm single, and the one dilemma I have is WHO would actually be able to take Oakley in such an event. Naturally I thought of my father but he has no clue about basenjis or the differences between them and other dogs. He believes dogs are ok off leash and really believes he can train any dog to "follow" him. Also, no one I know takes care of their dog in the way I do for Oakley, he gets great high quality food, care, I'm into the events for his breed and in super proud to have a purebred basenji...but he's also a very complex and tough dog to live with.

    I've thought and thought and the only conclusion I come to is that god forbid somethig happens to me, I'd want him to go back to Eldorado (Pam and Sheila) and have him ONLY placed in a home EXTREMELY basenji savvy. He deserves an owner that can give him what he needs and gets him.

    "I know I've found the breed for me because he totally turns my life upside down and I love it!"

    Having been hospitalized lately, I left an instruction sheet out for each of my Basenjis in case my husband also had an emergency hospital visit. This form would have been very useful and saved me a lot of writing. Thanks for posting. I'm not aware that our own KC has such a leaflet.

    LOL well she probably liked it better when I took her, but if not, oh well… lol. Also, btw, the neighbors said their dog's name was Sarah. I thought, how sweet. Til I found out why... it was short for "Midnight Serenade" ... which she did and you could hear even if she was in the house lol.

    We lived in Davis for many years where there is only the public display but you can hear the mortars they use pretty much everywhere in town. We have been in Ventura for past couple of years for dog shows and they also only have public displays but they also have several shows within a 10 mile or so radius and the mortars are clearly audible. My husband and I strive to expose our puppies to lots of noises when they are here. We get the holiday poppers and watch loud action movies with the surround sound on so the pups learn it is no big deal, just everyday kind of things because you just never know when they may be exposed to loud noises again. Some people say they have good results playing the loud action movies on the 4th so that by the time the fireworks start the dogs just think it part of the show.

    Cute picture! Aren't gerbils just small, caged squirrels to our B's?;) Cute collar, too. Is that a 2" martingale? I've been looking at all the links posted lately (re: daughter's/dogs X-mas surprise) but can't picture in my mind how the hound collars will look on my dogs. (They always show the large hounds as 'models'…..don't they know our Basenjis are much prettier on the runway??:D )

    They just passed one of the strongest animal cruelty bills in the nation here in Utah. I just scanned through really quick and found this: "A person is guilty of cruelty to animals if the person intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence: […] transports or confines an animal in a cruel manner". I'm thinking that with the way that puppy mills treat the mothers would certainly qualify. Hopefully with the whole Michael Vick thing more states will get on the bandwagon and pass laws like Utah has! Make sure your state reps know how you feel about it!
