    bboy, i think he had previously been sleeping on his face!

    when people talk about basenjis not being good with kids i just can never agree. some arent
    but this is how i grew up and no matter where my kiddo crashes for the night he and fender insist on laying all over eachother :)

    That pic of the three of them…....so cute.

    If kids are taught how to live with and respect any dog, there shouldn't be a problem.

    I know I can't sit or lay down anywhere without having them all wanting to be on me, or at least touching me.:)

    It's one of the most appealing aspects of the Basenji for me.....that they love to be with you.:cool:

    I agree Bboy, our Sahara is the same way, she has to touch you in some way. We love this about her, sometimes she will just reach out and touch your hand with her paw, just to make contact. I love this breed, I have never seen any other dogs do the same.

    That 1st pic, with Fenders leg pushing himself into childs back? That is how Duke does it. If he's in between me & hubby, one of us gets the pokey paw in our back. Feels good if he pokes the right spot, like a mini-massage. These are real cute pics.

    That is PLS ….or Pokey Leg Syndrome....it appears to be stronger in puppies, and the symptoms ease with age ;)

    When I got Maggii and OJ (my first two Basenjis) we had a cat… he never swiped at the Basenjis with his claws, had he I think that the male (OJ) would have been better. While my Maggii was the really the least bit interested in the cat, OJ was a mess... he was for sure that it was there for his plucking pleasure... They did finally figure out that he was part of the household, however if he ran, the chase was on... always... so much so that he lived on one side of the house and them on the other.... He (the cat) didn't really mind as he had his own kitty door to the deck in the master bedroom that was on 2nd floor and could come and go via the property fence. Maggii did play a game with the cat... she would lay in the back of the yard and wait for him to come walking along the fence, she would wait till he was on the gate, run as fast as she could and hurl herself against the gate, which would rock back and forth and see if the cat fell in the yard... Needless to say, we nailed that gate shut (there are more than one)

    This is the doghouse we used for years for our outdoor Border Collie. I realize Alberta can be colder (although we have seen -30C at this location), but you are talking about daytime use, not overnight. We used straw for bedding, and when my dog emerged in the morning after a cold night, he was quite warm and the interior of the house was also (I checked). Sized and insulated correctly, this design will keep a dog warm. (you could obviously change the dimensions to allow for more insulation if necessary). The only caveat is, will he use it? My BC was happy to retire to his house for the night, but during the day tended to lie in the "porch" so he could see what was going on. Of course, much of the day he spent his time with me, so it was a non issue. (one addition…...we put a couple of cement blocks on the roof after it blew off one day in a windstorm!) http://www.kwhumane.com/uploads/Documents/Ideal_Doghouse.pdf

    Tucker just hops on the bed and lies down beside us. We've gotten used to it and just ignore him… ;)

    My dogs were very "clingy" when I was pregnant & the same with Tayda when she stayed with us one weekend. :)

    And don't forget, now you have a second B in the house… and he will and can begin to think he needs to "guard" her... Aussie's are very intense... totally... just look at the picture you posted and the look in that dogs eyes... I also agree, you do not want to find out and yes, they can and would hurt other dogs....

    The fast solution is simple and not pleasing… but papermatching WORKS. http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/tplo-normal.html Take a paper match and wet the head of the match in your mouth for a few seconds. Then take the match and insert the head end first into the dog's rectum. Make sure part of the match is hanging out. Within a few seconds the dog should start to get into the position to poop and be successful at doing so. (I had to do this for Darby for about 2-3 weeks)<< So you papermatch and praise like crazy. As for tying him out, most can chew through MOST lines so I would be careful. Better to papermatch til he will go on command in your own yard. Also, how secure is your yard? Can you put him out while you are getting son ready for school alone? However, getting up a bit early to MAKE him potty, THEN secure him (get clips on cage so he cannot escape!) in crate while you take child to school, is better. Btw, 2 wks is a short time, it will all come together! :) Debra
