Wily From West Hollywood


  • hi all,
    so happy to hear about this! got the word from veronica and lori so thanks guys =) we'll be seeing you at laurel cyn for sure.

    the story of our WILY-
    on a vacation, my husband, andrew, and i were walking thru central park in NY on a winter morning when we both at the same time suddenly stopped. in front of us were two gorgeous red and white dogs that we had never seen before. we asked what they were, and as soon as we got home to WeHo we began our research. after a long search, we found our boy in tennessee and we knew instantly he was ours. he was 12 wks old and totally stellar. score!

    wily will be 3yrs old in december. how time flies! and we're now looking to move from our lovely condo to a home with a yard so that we can add another basenji for him. wily is known about the dog park, there usually 4 times a week, and can be heard leading the choir.

    we started by crate-training him which totally worked, but really in the end, he just sleeps with us. he doesnt chew on anything anymore because we used bitter apple (especially on those electrical cords), loves to sunbathe on the balcony, tease our 2 cats, and always wants to be wherever the action is.

    glad to be here! and cant wait to meet others..
    rita, andrew and wily…

    @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.
