    Am planning on going to my "no dog in the house" sister's home for Xmas but not sure what to do with Thabo and Daisy (new rescue). Both are rate trained, but Thabo gets grumpy if confined all day. Daisy will cry if left alone so have some issues. May just have to make this a day trip.

    I have several basenji friends in that area that may know of some, but most are not on this list. Terry Reed is on this list, maybe she will respond. I will see if I can get recommendations from them on facebook. I had an excellend home pet sitter for my basenjis when we lived in Harker Hts Tx. You should check with your vet to see if they have someone to recommend. There tended to be quite a few home type sitters in TX.

    OK, have one friend in Houston who said she does some boarding, contact Edna Johnson in Houston-713-467-6739. She also has dog grooming there, not that basenjis need much:) Dog Boys Dog Ranch in Pflugerville is also recommended by another friend.

    Thanks! I checked out the Dog Boys Dog Ranch, and it looked okay, but at $73/night, +$20/dog "analysis", and required turnout with strange playmates bas convinced me just to shell out for a hotel room. Sigh…. One grumpy Gus + relatives who ban dogs from the house (and not for health reasons) makes holiday travel annoying.

    :( Sorry they have a no-dog policy. You might post on the brat board.. could be experienced folks in the area happy to board.

    So I've not given up on this. I went back to rainshinefoundation.org.au and researched it a bit. It looks legitimate to me, and I'm really skeptical. This isn't an endorsement. They claim they are funneling the majority of donations back to the people they are providing assistance to. I could get behind this. Is a Basenji Hunting Bell worth $300 USD? In my best Texas accent, "Hell Yeah!" If they really are sinking the percentage of money they receive back into direct support as they claim on their website... it's hard NOT to get behind that. I'm still trying to verify that. Feel free to chime in. Coconut is too big. Western Buckeye is too thin. If the above is legit... I don't want to compete. I don't want to make something that mimics those from Africa. If it's legit... I'd rather support the cause and spend the $300 USD. So mine have to look different. They have to resonate sound. Which wood? CNC engraving? Laser engraving? Slots? Collar? Clasp? How do I support Basenjis? Tooling is going to cost a bit. I think I have have the bell figured out. I may also have the clappers figured out too, but I need to test all of this. The part that concerns me is the collar. Weaving, macramé, braiding, sewing... Anyway... these are thoughts in motion...

    She's gorgeous - Probably Basenji in there somewhere, yes, Beagle though ? only the colouring might suggest it. Try a DNA test if it really matters !

    I would defintely recommend martingale collars, specifically the Lupine brand ones..they are fairly inexpensive and have a 100% guarantee, meaning if your dogs eats/chews or in any way breaks it they will replace, no questions asked..we have used that policy once, when Otis decided to eat his….. As far as food..I have used Blue Buffalo, and like it lots, especially since it is easier to find. I also like EVO, Canidae and The Honest Kitchen..My dogs are on RAW so we use the Honest Kitchen or Sojos for mix ins, even when they were puppies. Good luck and how exciting..did you mention where you got her? A lot of our dogs are related so it is always fun to know.

    take him in to the kennel for a weekend. It will cost you some $$ but you will be able to see if he can "handle it" or you will have to get someone to move in and keep company with him.

    I just boarded Tiggy and Reggie for one night, Reggie has been boarded before and Tiggy and him were in the same suite. They both did great and they had no problems and had no issues noted on their cards.
