@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.
Erby-de crabre mate!

Thanx for the link Tanza I will have Baloo tested when we get him here in Michigan.
Great… and I am sure that he will have a most "wonderful" forever home... especially coming from a puppy mill!!! Great for him, great for you!
-
We are exited about Baloo,He looks great and we have waited 2 years to bring another pet into our home. I have my home visit this Saturday a gal by the name of Carrol is visiting on behalf of BRAT.The gal that is fostering Baloo said she woud help us get him close to our house using the rail-road system.Baloo is gonna a be a lucky pup, He will have his forever home and we will have the coolest pup on the block!
-
I am not sure but I believe in a coupl of weeks tops.
-
I was so glad to see this - I had thought about you a few times when I was browsing the BRAT site or Petfinder. (Yes, I am hooked on rescue basenjis, though we don't have room for any more than our two.) Baloo looks like a lovely boy and it's wonderful that you found each other.
Even though you're basenji savvy, I would highly recommend the stickies here on the forum about bringing a new rescue home. Sharron's tips were invaluable to us with our second B, and came in helpful even
months after our first girl found us.Enjoy Baloo, and be sure to post pix and stories!:D

Thanx for the tip. I am shure gonna read everything I can. It has been a while since I had a B and a refresher is a great ideal.The Gals came for a visit this last saturday and all went well just waiting to here from Balouski's foster moma. The gal that visited me is not a Basenji owner she has Borizi's she brought her huge male with her.He was a cool looking dog and was real friendly,she done this service at no charge.I am meeting some good people on top of getting Baloo.Cant wait to here when Baloo is coming home to me and my family!I am buying the chew toys and everything else he needs this week.
-
Mitt, you've been screened, then? Want a brother for Baloo? If we could figure out transport. Either of these sounds like a bit of a handful at first, but you sound like you're up for a challenge…

I would love to have a pack o pups but I only have room for Baloo.I sure hope the people that broke the pups leg gets punnished.I dont understand that type of behavior!
-
I hear you - probably not a great idea to try to transport either of these guys that far anyway, in case a placement doesn't work. I'm just grasping at homes for them.
Can't wait to hear that Baloo made it home, and see pix!
-
Just a quick note to let everyone know that Balloo is starting the proccess to come to his forever home! We are all excited and cant wait.I will be putting out the monster basted cow leg bones, kong and knylabones. He will have his own spot for feedings and WILL have a run of the house and WILL sleep on my bed by my wife and I.Thanx to all the folks here and at BRAT for this success story.Tim and Rebecca Prodan.P.S. will post pics here to show off!!!!!!

Another Baloo update,Baloo is being flown in from D.C this friday .We are stoked! So we will be posting pics shortly.This is a Shinning example of people comming together to make a "B" happy and wanted.B.R.A.T has to be commended for thier efforts .Volenteers to board members have put in lots of hours to make sure Baloo was headed to his "FOREVER HOME". Barb McShea gets a special thanks for her diligence and persurverance over Baloo's placement.Thanx also goes to Sharron Hurlbut for getting me invoved with BRAT.I am going to be the Basenji guy here in northern Michigan.When a familiy needs a home visit for a Basenji adoption thru BRAT My wife and I will do the visit on behalf of BRAT. We are exited and are headed out to get all the comforts Baloo needs to make a smooth transistion. Thank you Everyone.TIM and Rebecca Prodan
-
Yay! Can't wait for pics. I'm glad you had a good experience with BRAT.
-
Great! Can't wait to see pix of Baloo, and thank you for getting involved to help other B's as well. Sharron is an inspiration, isn't she?
-
Blush, laugh, thanks guys.
I love doing rescue and it wouldn't work without folks like yourselves.
Hugs and hugs.
Photos..we want photos!!! -
It took awhile and they are very thurough in their placements. But they have to be to make sure that Baloo got his Forever home.I feel that it is a good process,they take the time to let you in on all the particulars of the specific "B" that you may want.They also want to make sure you know what you are doing to.I feel less scurtiny would not be a good ideal.They truly want their placements to be solid .I respect that.
-
Hey, Thanx Gal!!! sorry I misspelled your name Sharron
-
No problem Mitt!
With the last name like Hurlbut, you have a strong sense of humor.
My husband when through the Marine corp, as "throw ass"!
Yes, you say it hurlbut!
lol
Sorry, this is WAY off topic. -
I was a paratrooper in the 82nd. Abn.Div.. Being a paratrooper I always got "RODAN" the mythical creature that fought Godzilla.
-
Congratulations mitt!! (and thank you for becoming a volunteer). Are you in the UP, MI?
-
No I am a troll!!!!
-
I just asked because my daughter is at college just over the border from the UP in WI and she often calls to say she needs a 'senji "fix". She volunteers at the local shelter but that doesn't seem to quench her thirst for the 'naughtiest of naughty' breeds. Thought I could hook you up with an experienced B. sitter.
