    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

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    Too much walking?

    @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' !

    Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji

    @seattlebasenji said in Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji: *** Any ideas about how I can effectively potty train him? *** You mention that you take your dog to the same area when you take him out to 'toilet', I suppose thinking that he'll associate that spot as his bathroom(?). But I think you would be more successful if you took your dog out for long walks. Your dog needs exercise anyway, and movement begets movement (if you know what I mean). Besides, walking is a very social activity for dogs. They walk in packs and when you walk with your dog, you become part of their pack. Some people like two half hour walks each day. Personally, I try to get one really long walk in every day (weather permitting), typically 3 miles or 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. (I got bored walking the same route. Now we go different places (local dog parks, woods, and such) and explore new routes. Mix it up a little. The walk provides time for the two of you to bond. It's an opportunity for you to reinforce training, provide encouragement (and praise). And it allows your dog to eliminate (or toilet), naturally, without pressure.

    @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.
