Update on Jack and Aiden

Basenji Talk
  • That's great news! :D Looks like Jack is starting to adjust to the new little guy…I love your first pic...I hope they all weren't passed out from devouring those yummy treats on the bed :D :D :D

  • The treats Jack and Aiden a gnawing on are their Christmas Stocking goodies!!! Jack took a few weeks to eat his treats but Aiden ate his chewy right away!!! LOL. He loves it (I think he's teething…yeay...not) BUT he IS sleeping thru the night now...SO NOW I have to get back into that pattern (though im sure it wont last long when his "teethers" start coming in…poor guy) Jack has been going to the park the past few days because the weather has been SO great!!! He is still getting into things, BUT I think thats in the basenji BLOOD so, I can deal with that. (He LOVES dryer sheets...WEIRD) His Lyme is under control as well, for those of you who are wondering, I know the cold weather isnt going to help with joint pain but he sure doesnt show it so im glad! as for his allergic reaction, it hasnt happened again thank goodness, and he's still eating purina one and loving it all as well. And of course he is still doing ALL his Basenji coo-coo "ness"!! (suddenly bolting around the room, jumping and spinning in circles and of course SLEEPING all the time!!!) And Aiden is a VERY good baby, not fussy at all, talks and coos alot and is reaching for things, laughing, singing, and all that GREAT stuff...infact he just started some baby food today (his doctor suggested I try it and see if he likes it in SMALL amounts) and OF COURSE JACK was ALLLL ready to share...I have a Video and ill attach it for you all!! Thanks for all the responses!!!

  • How sweet! Keep upthe good work. I have 3 boy's and 2 B.. they all stole my heart!

  • Ok here is the Video, BEFORE YOU WATCH… I'm sorry but im kinda goofy in this with the baby talk lol! And before I could get out the camera, Jack had gotten a few licks SMACK DAB on Aidens mouth and licked a GLOB of baby food off him so...ok, dont make fun of me, LOL!!!

  • very cute! so happy it's working out!

  • How wonderful! I'm so relieved that it is all working out. The pictures and the video are adorable!
    I'm sure I shared it with you already, but I thought it worth mentioning again: We were very worried with Nala when our first child was born, but she was great with everything while she was an infant. But our only issue was when she was a toddler - she wanted to get into Nala's "bed". Nala made what we call "ugly noises" at her. It was very unsettling and we were very cautious after the first time. Becasue of this, we started teaching the kids at a very young age about respecting the dog's private space (and in general) and also making sure that they weren't cornering her, etc.
    You've got time before he starts toddling around though, so don't worry! It will all be fine! Keep posting those pictures and videos!

  • she wanted to get into Nala's "bed". Nala made what we call "ugly noises" at her.

    We got our dogs a little bed for the family room for christmas and I snapped a couple of pics of our Tri. The other dog came over and..

    She heeded the warning and went away while I kept playing with him, no scuffle. A child is going to have know theses signs as well.

  • Very cute video. I did notice you snapped at Jack when he came close to the baby. I would be afraid he may associate the baby with negative reactions from you. Maybe while you are feeding the baby you could have a separate snack for jack so he will look forward to baby time. Of course eventually Aiden will throw his food on the floor for Jack and then it may nto be an issue. I am sure there are more knowledgeable people who could respond. That was just my first thought.

  • He did have a biscut, lol…and he ate it beofre Aiden finished his first bite, lol. I allow Jack to be close to us while we are eating he just needs "reminders" that its not ok to lick the food out of Aidens mouth, eww. LOL!!

    This is how Tyler looks when he has settled in to sleep and Zoey wants to come in an "nest" before she settles. Zoey has learned to heed the warning also and doesn't disturb Ty when he's already settled.

    @tanza: Right now the top winning dogs are Tris… Klassy and Blade (think that is his call name...) good point Pat…it wasn't really a few years ago! Tris have been doing great ever since Tootsie's career really took off. I was thinking back to Toots instead of thinking of who is out there right now.
