    Lol- your dogs have more clothes than I do! Those are all great! I've only bought one outfit for Kitiara. It was a cute little red sundress. I put it on her, turned around for about 5 seconds and the dress was torn to shreds.

    Lexi LOVES to be dressed up. She'll even hold her paw up to put it in the sleeves for you. She's very good. I think she just likes the attention. She doesn't like things on her head, but she'll do just about anything if I ask her. She's just really good like that. Miles.. well, he'll tolerate a few things. I ought to find that lion costume I bought him last year for Halloween. His ears stick thru the top and he's got a furry mane… but he's too fat to velcro is shut, so he can't wear it this year. ha! He's gotta go on a diet. Ok, ok... and I need to exercise more!

    How do you get them to wear boots, I tried some on Indi last night to gaurd his paws from the hot pavement and he acted like I was torturing him. After about 5 mins i had to take them off because I couldn't get him to quit throwing a fit

    Thank you for the wonderful pictures. I wish my B's tolerated costumes. The closest time I came to actually dressing up one of our dogs was with a Batman costume. The mask was a no go, but when the B 500 started with the intent to try and dislodge the body of the costume, that cape flying in the wind was as impressive as all the special effects in any Hollywood movie!!

    The christmas picture is pretty funny - the bottle should have been between his paws (or maybe it was and that's why the funny face :D).

    I've had Lexi since she was a puppy. Most of the pics are of her. She lets me do whatever. I raised her to allow me to touch her feet and to be tolerant of being handled. And she really just likes the attention. Putting little outfits on demands that you get on the floor with her and talk to her and stuff. She just really likes it. And she loves taking pictures. You turn on your camera and she comes running!! You can pose her and ask her to "stay" and she'll hold the pose. And then of course you just point in the air where you want her to look and she'll hold the pose AND put her head in the right place. LOL… She is special.

    We don't have the running shoes any more... mainly because we didn't NEED them. She hates the snow and it doesn't get THAT hot here. I just thought they were cute and matched her running harness. ha! :)

    As for the Christmas picture- it was caught mid-yawn. I got lucky! ha

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Travelling with a dog?

    If you ship him underneath in cargo, don't forget there are temperature restrictions. Where would you transfer planes at? This summer has been hot in many cities! Please check the requirements for the airline you will be traveling on. There is usually a limit to the number of dogs allowed on board and in cargo. You will need to make a reservation for him at the time you make your own. There may be additional requirements since you are coming from Canada, you will need to check with the USDA, the CDC and the State of Massachusetts. You can find the requirements on the USDA website and it has links to each state. http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/pet_travel/pet_travel.shtml You need to make sure the carrier will fit under the seat so if the carrier you are considering is much larger than the large size Sherpa brand bag I doubt it will fit under the seat. I used to travel with Arnie onboard about 10 years ago before 9/11. I trained him to get in and out of the Sherpa bag and to stay in for short periods of time. He almost always laid down in it. He never made noise even when we were in first class and they served food! Most people did not even know I had a dog. I also made sure I was comfortable carrying him in the bag. I figured if the airline employees thought I was struggling with him then he was too heavy and he would not be let on the plane. He was an older pup but weighed about 18-20 lbs. Jennifer

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    @Vegas: We're all committed to the basenji, because the little tools have a way of capturing our hearts… I think basenji owners are a pretty tight-knit group. The ways basenjis affect our lives are so similar, it's hard to not find something in common with other basenji owners. I think this may be the "same page" Andrea was speaking of!
