Introducing…


  • Our newest addition, a tri boy named Riley. I know you all love pictures but I have to post them later tonight, no time this morning. He's four months old and from Susan Howard of Sulou Basenjis in Arizona. He's out of Susan's first Basenji Su-Ron's Miss Fancy Pants, by Jumanji's Prince Imhoteppy, both R/W. It was an "oops" litter. Riley is either clear or carrier of Fanconi. Out of three tri male puppies she had he won us over with his outgoing, friendly temperament. He was the first to climb into my lap when I got in the x-pen. He's been alot of fun. And we finally got sleep last night. And it was very sorely needed. Pictures tonight, promise!


  • YAY…congrats. I guess we can let you get away with no pictures untill later tonight....but better not make us wait too long. :P


  • Congrats…. Nicki.....


  • thank you thank you!! Riley has been great, minus the screaming. After that first post this morning I looked at them in their new mansion of a crate we got last night and they were laying right next to each other. Love it. He's learning leash manners from her. And where to "go". And she's snarked some, to set some boundaries.
    Last night he did much better in a wire crate with Zip, he's accustomed to those kind as opposed to the plastic. The crate is huuuuuge. Liz and I would fit in it together at the same time. I told her sheesh maybe we have to look for a 2 bedroom apt in Atlanta!
    I did kind of miss having Zip in bed with us, our little furnace. But she likes the crate, I think. She knew it was theirs from the start and stayed in even with the doors open. And didn't whine or cry when it clear that was where she'd be sleeping. The first 2 nights with Riley he SCREAMED all night in the plastic crate. I was really expecting to get a noise complaint letter on our door. I think having Zip in there with him and being able to see more settled him down. He did much better in the plastic crate in the car. Good thing, cuz that's where he'll be on our road trip. I might be able to get Liz to post some pictures today…


  • How wonderful you have a new addition.
    Can't wait to see the photos.


  • Congrats on the new boy! I can't wait to see pics!! I want a puppy so bad!!


  • so somehow we misplaced the cord to get pics off the camera onto the computer. Liz is cleaning today so hopefully she'll find it and we 'll have pics up soon.


  • Here's Riley!!!

    @Patty: I have had hernias disappear with manipulation but I wonder if they might have closed any way. I'd never know. As I posted before, there's no real problem as its unusual for these hernias to cause troubles. I'm sure Elaine willl confirm this. Yes, I too have had a bitch operated on as the opening had started to close when she was 12 years old. It was a very simple op and once the stitches had gone you wouldn't know there had been anything there!! The UK KC frowns on these ops now. Helena, i am aware the KC frown on these ops and isn't it wrong. It could encourage people to not have things fixed . Why on earth should an op like this prevent a Dog from being shown, it's madness. For me the Dogs health would always come first , but i still think they're wrong. Whoops sorry to rant:o

    Well I can confirm that the lab and basenji duo are a playful combination. Caesar is always trying to play with the labs in particular. It seems like a likely union. You can look on the Basenji Rescue and Transport site. They have a section for mixed basenji breeds and it might give you a clue what yours is mixed with. A super cutie!!
