Nala


  • Hello everyone!
    I am brand new to the forum and wanted to introduce Nala our one year old basenji/ carolina dog mix. My husband and I are newlyweds and wanted to expand our family by getting a four legged fur baby. We first found Nala on a local humane society website. When we went to adopt her she had been put in isolation due to a case of kennel cough, we fostered her while sick and adopted her once she was back healthy. We know little about her background story other than the fact she had litter of puppies before she was one year old. Nala now lives with us in our 360 square foot tiny house, she had no problems adjusting to such a small area of living space. She loves bones, cuddles, her fenced in yard, laying on the couch and of course rough housing with my husband and I as much as she can. She has most definitely stolen our hearts and is such a joy to have around.

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    @julia87 How much do you know about Basenjis? Have you met any? It's highly recommended to learn as much as possible about them before making a decision to acquire one. This would be a good place to start.

    @nyoung15 - Thanks, is she registered with AKC? Would love to see her pedigree if you care to share?

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
