    So today I think hell froze over: dh surprised me . . . STUNNED me, really. . . .and got me a puppy!!
    Another Jumoke baby; this time it's a little boy and he is sooooooooooooooo cute!!! He is actually Jazzy's nephew. . . as if that matters to them, LOL.

    Good ol' Gypsy has been great about it. Jazzy is doing far better than we'd expected – just a little grumbling at him here and there, but has also played a bit. The little guy is doing great. He'll be 12 weeks on the 17th, and is so busy and curious about everything. It's so fun to have a puppy in the house again. We didn't tell our kids, just drove up from the show; I had Jazzy in my arms and I asked them to please get the crate out of the van for me. Oh the screams when they realized there was a puppy in there! It was so fun.

    The little guy doesn't have a name yet. Bryan and Laurie have a South Pacific theme for this litter, and we're working on it. The kids all want to name him South Pacific Island Kahuna, but I'm not convinced. BUT, I did tell them they could name him, so I may very well be stuck. :p

    I'll post photos ASAP.

    Congratulations for getting your new baby! (finally!) I saw a couple pics in your gallery. He is sooo cute! I kind of like the name Kahuna - maybe he'll grow up to be a li'l "big Kahuna!"

    That was quite a surprise I know and such a nice thing to do for you, I know you have said in your post that you wanted another puppy. Yea, you can't beat the joy of owning a new puppy, and by the way, Kahuna is rather cute.

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    @eeeefarm said in Wet weather exercise: @elbrant said in Wet weather exercise: I wish I could take the credit for Doodle. But she was trained and taught before I brought her home. If she is still reliable you can take credit for that. So many times a well trained animal goes to a new home and within months the good manners and training evaporates. Seen it many, many times with horses, not quite so often with dogs but they don't tend to change hands so often. Unfortunately people often reinforce bad behaviour without being aware of what they are doing, and then complain because the "stupid" animal has developed bad habits! I concur. If it isn't maintained, then behaviors erode.

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    Thanks for the responses, glad I wasn't the only one feeling 'paranoid' about it.
