    Hi All! My heart surgery went well and I came home this morning. Abbey gave me a huge BAROO but her first order of business when she got out of her crate was to gobble up last night's supper which she had been saving till I came home. Then she cried because Heather (my DIL) left. Then she had to check out my overnight bag and my ouches. She was most interested in the bandaid in the bend of my arm where the IV was! Mostly she hangs on me in case I might disappear again. She did allow me one short nap, then she woke me up so we could have lots of fun playing green bunny, hedgehog, soccer ball and squeaky chicken, which everybody knows is good therapy after heart surgery. I do appreciate all your kind words and prayers for me and for Abbey. She is recovering nicely from being chewed up by that monster last week but she still doesn't want to go the park.

    OOHH soo good to hear everything went well!!! Lots of happy (((HUGS))) for you & Abbey. Once you get better I'm sure Abbey will get to tackling that fear of the park. Make sure u give her lots of treats along the way…maybe some HIGH value treats like turkey hotdogs :D :D

    Lots of prayers for a speedy recovery!!

    Lenora, Glad you're back home with Abbey. She seems to be doing her best as good therapy for you. You must have told the doc about Abbey so he would let you out, right? Now that you're home, recovery will be so much quicker and sweeter. Healing thoughts and best wishes that you and Abbey get back to the park soon. :)

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    When Cory and Jayden get into something special (in their eyes) that they suspect they aren't supposed to have, they go and hide in a chair so they can examine it and chew it in private. There is no "Let's go show Mom!". Often Cory will rat Jayden out. She will make such a fuss that I've learned to recognize her "tattling" ruckus. If I want to get on the computer, I have to secure them in the room with me or put them outside. If not, Jayden WILL find something for them to get into. He is tall for a basenji and I swear he can use his front paws like hands! Pat

    Yes, the tape works great, but I think I know what rubber brush you mean. My sister has a broom like that - she got it at an Equine Affair in MA one year. It works great. Gets all the hair up when she sweeps. She's got a black Aussie/Golden mix - can you say HAIR??!!! I don't think I could handle it…LOL!
