Call your veterinarian and ask if it's okay if you go there once every other day or so, and just sit in the waiting room. Bring a treat you know he loves. Sit in the waiting room until he calms down and take the treat(s), then leave ONLY when he's calm and relaxed. Don't leave when he's anxious. If the veterinarian and the people who work there are okay with it, make them come and give him treats, praise, then leave. He should soon come to feel like this is a place where he gets treats and attention. At home, work with him on getting his teeth checked, his ears and the rest of his body. Once he's comfortable with this, put him on a table and continue the work there. The floor and a table can make all the difference in whether a dog is comfortable or not. Good luck!
Might be bringing home 2nd B!!

Oh and welcome to the "I can't just have one" Club

Well we first applied for Meeka, but the coordinator wasnt sure if she was the right fit, so she talked to another coordinator in her area and she had a girl that isn't posted. It's looking like we will get the one thats not posted, but Meeka is still a possibility.. They both sound great so I'm super excited!!

again, congrats, hope all goes well

After I got my 2nd B, I swore I would volunutarily ban myself from looking at the BRAT website, but wound up volunteering for BRAT instead:p I think they have some sort of Basenji hypnotic powers on that site.

It's final! We signed the papers for Meeka from BRAT!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! We got a boy from BRAT that sounds very much like Meeka – shy , scared etc.. He has recently been warming up to us and is proving to be a GREAT dog -- just takes a lot of time and patience. Hope you all get along great and again CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congratulations! I truly believe that two are better than one. I think Bs do much better with a companion. Can't wait to hear how things go.
