    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.

    wow! Uzie speaks volumes about how good are you with him :-) Vito has a sweet temper, amazing thing considering that a masting bite and broke his jaw when he was a puppy, now he is healed from that but get a little bend on the jaw but eats and has a good bite. I had a question about him, i brush well my brother brush him and get a ton of fur i brush my girls and get nothing.. seems like he has double or strong fur.. and is not like hers. im wondering what kind of fur basenjis has? double coated is possible?

    Laika sounds like a lucky girl! A suggestion: Check at your vet's office and see if any of the vet techs will do house/dog sitting. We've found that our fur-kids are much more comfortable in their own home and with their own routine if we have to be away. Lots less stress for them. The other advantage is that they are usually familiar with the techs and you know that if anything should go wrong you have a direct connection with your vet. Yodels to Laika! Terry
