    Hello! So a few weeks ago I posted that I was moving to Connecticut. Now plans have changed and I'm moving to New York. Most likely the Westchester area. I'm excited about the work opportunity I have there, but sadly, Connecticut would have been much better for me housing wise, I could have afforded a house with a fenced in yard for the B's! But now, I am looking for an apartment that is dog friendly in White Plains or somewhere close by. I'm finding most apartments don't even allow dogs! So I'm getting pretty frusterated by the whole thing.

    Is anyone from the White Plains area? Any insight on how to find pet-friendly accomodation? I would ideally like to find a place that is a house divided into apartments, with access to a fenced in yard. So far, it's proving to be highly unlikely that I'll find it. :(

    Well actually having a besnji can wok in your favor. Most apartments have a weight limit of a max of 25lbs.

    Here are some links that may help you

    Oh man..Westchester is pricey :( I work in Manhattan & live in NJ. Could you possibly find something in NJ??

    Or perhaps a place over the Tappan Zee Bridge which is Rockland County or Orange County which both are still in NY except on the other side of the Hudson River. Prices are usually better in this area.

    You can send me a PM if you'd like to chat more!

    Would you marry your basenji?

    MacPack: Yes, I know bestiality isn't illegal here - how stupid, and they did mention that on the radio. Also, the whole gang probably would platonically marry Topper, he is such a dear. My Shaye would REALLY like to marry Topper.

    @Andrew: Thanks for the well wishes!! And Nicki & Robyn; y'all won't even notice I'm gone, especially when we're sitting on the beach drinking mai tais :) We're in Savannah now. I needed to come down to look at properties in person for renting. I brought Callie & Lola with me because I thought it would be easier just to have them than to arrange getting them to the breeder to keep them while I was out of town for only 1 night. Not many Savannah hotels allow dogs, so we ended up in a really posh hotel called The Mansion on Forsyth. The entire staff is very sweet to the girls, greets them and pets them. My heart broke open & fell on the floor when we met a 3 year old in a stroller in the lobby. She obviously has a dog at home, and was very happy to meet Callie & Lola. She grabbed Callie's face and smooshed it around, and although it wasn't painful to Callie, I'm sure it was annoying. She just sat there and let the girl love all over her, very patiently and sweetly. Lola even let the little girl pet her a little, which is a HUGE deal for Lola!! She is so scared of kids & usually growls & gets a little defensive & hides behind me. I've been working with her by making sure every little kid we meet gives her treats & she gets praise, so I was so happy to see Lola have a positive reaction to a child. We got into the room & Callie & Lola instantly jumped on the fluffy king size bed (Callie is currently building a nest in the pillows; always where she goes when we get in a hotel). Then they ran to investigate the window. We're on the ground floor looking onto a fairly busy sidewalk & road, with lots to see. The window is only 2 feet off the ground, with a ledge big enough for them to sit on. I jumped in the shower & when I got out 20 minutes later, they were both staring out the window, mesmerized with all the activity outdoors. We got in a good walk in the square across the street from our hotel, and they have been so patient with all the crate time they've logged today (5 hours in the car, plus several hours while I was looking at apartments and then again when i went out for dinner & drinks). Its supposed to rain tomorrow, but if it doesn't we may meet up with some Ibizan friends, or maybe go to dog friendly Fort Pulaski & a dog friendly restaurant (apparently Savannah is VERY dog friendly!!! Yay!) I'm so glad I brought them with me. They really make the trip that much better, rather than more stressful. I have stayed at the Mansion before it is really a funky boutique hotel for being in an old southern city like Savannah. So if your there, I guess we won't see you at lure coursing practice tomorrow.

    There is a commonly used dog in TV and commercials that is either a Rat Terrier, or a corgi/terrier/basenji/chi mix….I have seen in on law and order, and some other more recent commercials...might be that one. Or it could be a real B...I haven't seen either of the ones mentioned.
