    :D

    I'm doing great!!!

    We just got back from the (I almost said vet.. :confused:) midwife and she told us everything went great with me and the baby!

    She told me I did a great job keeping healthy and happy during the last months and I'm dealing great with the stress. My bloodpressure was as low as it should be with me!!!
    I always had a very low bloodpressure and during my pregnancy it stayed nice and low. Only the last couple of months it raised a bit but this time it was 100 over 60 (I don't know if this means the same in English?)
    The baby is totally ready, so am I :D

    We now just have to wait… :D

    It's too crazy, last days we sleep a lot to catch up but we just don't know what to do with this daily routine... (normally we don't have any routine in our lives)
    We made a "programme" so we don't forget all the things we need to do during the vacation :D
    And today.. this afternoon we have an appointment at the vet for Buana (we have to check his eyes again, the results can be used during one year and then you have to test again)
    But we don't know what to do with the extra time... the dogs all want to sleep... so after our coffee... we go and paint someting outside hahaha

    We are so happy we have a nice place with the ship and we can rest now, but we cannot get used to the fact we live on one place now...
    Every time we go out to walk the dogs, we meet the same people and we're walking at the same place.. That's so weird for us!

    :D Easy!!!

    I'm still pregnant!!! Really great to read all the reactions here :)

    We made a daytrip to my parents today (I can't believe I still can do that :D)
    Hailey needed her shot with the vet and we went to bring the car to the garage… few weeks ago a car hit us at the back and our car has to be repaired (nothing bad happened, only a few scared people inside I'm very happy the dogs weren't in the car that moment)

    So that's why I didn't looked at my computer earlier :D

    I do have to say, I'm feeling a bit weird since the afternoon... :confused:
    The baby is very busy, Buana won't come from my lap and I just feeling weird.. (got no other words)

    Maybe this night? Maybe tomorrow?
    I will keep you updated, I know there are many online computers at the hospital, I just have to learn Kas how he can come to this site to post a little message he's a daddy ;)

    It would be useful to know more about this dog. Has resource guarding been an issue in the past? Has he bitten either you or your wife before? (a real bite, not playful nipping). Or anyone else? A dog that isn't used to children may be fearful of their loudness or quick movements. Perhaps you could do some socialization work with him, e.g. hanging around places where young kids congregate to accustom him to their noise and activity. Obviously not allowing any interaction as you are unsure of his behaviour. Dogs react differently to newborns. In my experience bitches are more likely than dogs to be tolerant, but it is very much the individual dog's reaction that counts. People have been blindsided when their supposedly tolerant and gentle dog turns out to be hostile to a young child. Bottom line, no dog should be left unsupervised around young kids, so in any event you would have to monitor his behaviour carefully once your baby arrives. On a personal note, of the five Basenjis I have owned, two bitches were entirely reliable with kids, the other was tolerant as long as they respected her space. One of the males adored children and was curious about them, the other curious but uncertain and would react to fast movements. I did not trust him and controlled any interaction closely. IMO, he would have bitten had he felt threatened. And kids, especially babies, tend to grab and pinch, ears, tails, whatever. Caution is always the safest route.

    Sparkle Barkle came into heat in April. Logan went nuts! I was traveling so my wife was saddled with the mayhem. Mayhem doesn't begin to describe the situation. Sparkle should be coming in again within days, I hope, and unfortunately, he won't get any love this time either. He's gonna be a massive handful for at least a MONTH. I'm not traveling this time, so it's all on me. Cross your fingers for Tri females. I want three!

    Neutering is not going to help - training is. But a good trainer will train YOU to deal with the dog. If a trainer can get him to behave but you can't - there is little to be gained from paying out money. This is something you should never have allowed to happen, but since it has, I think you should deal with it and @JENGOSMonkey has given you a good idea to start you off. Withdrawing treats is a good idea, but also, get up and walk away. He could be biting to get attention and therefore you withdraw the attention at the first sign of a bite, with a firm NO.

    IMO it is a myth that Basenjis cannot have good manners on a walk. Yes, great if you can do off leash, but when circumstances dictate that a leash is necessary then walking calmly without a lot of drama and pulling should be achievable. Personally I do not like long lines or flex leashes. Or allowing dogs to eat whatever they find on the ground, which can in some cases earn you a trip to the vet or worse. Like most dogs, Basenjis are not overly discriminant about what they will ingest. A short leash and being observant can protect them from unwelcome outcomes. Mental exercise will also go a long way with any dog. But one should have a definite opinion about who is running the show, and it should not be the dog....they are quite willing to take up the position should you abdicate.
