    WOOOOW Thank you all so much for your nice and very sweet comments!!!! :)

    Here I am again :D With a complete update!

    Wednesday, in the evening I got the first signs of going into labor.
    We called the midwife and she came by to check me (she lives almost next door!)
    We had to call her when the contractions were there within 4 minuts.
    She thought that would be in te morning and adviced to go to sleep if that was possible. hahaha Well.. after two hours the contractions were within the 4 minuts and we had to call her again.
    She came by again and she told us to be at the hospital at 05.30 (or earlier when we wanted to)
    At 5 we arrived there and a very sweet nurse took care of us (cup of thea and coffee, a bit talking etc) and at 5.30 the midwife arrived at the hospital.
    She broke my water and after that.. :eek: the contractions became very very painful.
    At 7, I started to push!!! (that's very fast) at 07.33 the little man arrived!!
    The needed to make an incision because I couln't get him out by myselfe. (I was way to narrow)

    At 12.00 We arrived at home! My parents arrived at our home at wednesday night, my mom looked after the pups.
    We put the little cradle on our bed and let it all happen.
    First Buana, he put his head near Ryan's head and smelled him totally..
    He stopped, looked at us and almost told us "yes mommy, daddy.. thats my little brother.. I will take care of him okay!" and he put his head again next to Ryan and gave him a very sweet ear wash :D
    Then Chafuko, he stood there, tail wagging and his ears put down to say "i'm not scary" :) he immediately gave him a very big kiss on his little head.. :p
    Hailey was a bit carefull, she did not want to put her whole head into the cradle but when Kas put his hand in the cradle too, she sniffed the little guy :D
    All three of them are very crazy about him, we did not thought it would be SO great!

    It seems they take care of him, when he is asleep and we are in the living room with the babyphone, and he starts crying the dogs listen.
    When he cryes "false" they don't react but when he really cryes, Buana runs to us and put his paws against us and look at us to tell "hey do you hear my brother?????"

    Really cool is when there are people on a visit (my parents, my grandmother, the midwife or maternity women) and they are busy with the baby, there always is one dog that keeps an eye on them!
    Not on a dominant way but they just be in the area and look after their brother.
    Also when I feed him, they like to lie next to "us" in the bed.
    They just go to sleep or lie their heads that way they can look what I'm doing.

    A few times a day, they just want to have some contact with their brother and like they do with eachother, lick his ears and his little hands…

    It's sooo sweet and I never could imagine the doggies are SO proud on their new brother...
    And we are too

    The pictures of the real first reaction of what I describe will come soon. (they are on my mothers camera and I don't have them yet)

    Here some of our pics: Enjoy!


    The front of his birth card…
    At the back we also put a little tekst:
    (translated in English)
    Dogpeople, with all of our heart,
    what we're always will be
    A little human-puppy is added now
    In the tummy very crazy about "his" dogs
    That will promise something :)


    This is the position he had for the last 9months


    Getting dressed, all of his clothes are a bit too big because he is a bit small :)

    @Saving so nice to hear there's other people with the same problem! We have been giving regular baths to our b, so I don't know if that really helped or not. Anyways, it took a while for me to bring Nova again to the dog park, because I was a bit afraid the same situation would happen again. I was there a couple of days ago, and no one tried to hump her. (I must say all dogs had same age approx.) Thank you for your comment replies! :)

    Neutering is not going to help - training is. But a good trainer will train YOU to deal with the dog. If a trainer can get him to behave but you can't - there is little to be gained from paying out money. This is something you should never have allowed to happen, but since it has, I think you should deal with it and @JENGOSMonkey has given you a good idea to start you off. Withdrawing treats is a good idea, but also, get up and walk away. He could be biting to get attention and therefore you withdraw the attention at the first sign of a bite, with a firm NO.

    IMO it is a myth that Basenjis cannot have good manners on a walk. Yes, great if you can do off leash, but when circumstances dictate that a leash is necessary then walking calmly without a lot of drama and pulling should be achievable. Personally I do not like long lines or flex leashes. Or allowing dogs to eat whatever they find on the ground, which can in some cases earn you a trip to the vet or worse. Like most dogs, Basenjis are not overly discriminant about what they will ingest. A short leash and being observant can protect them from unwelcome outcomes. Mental exercise will also go a long way with any dog. But one should have a definite opinion about who is running the show, and it should not be the dog....they are quite willing to take up the position should you abdicate.

    Just thought I'd share an update on this. I removed the blankets from the crate and replaced them with a mattress. We have been strict about her only staying in the crate at night. When we have had accidents I have cleaned up, with a dog urine killing spray, and placed her back in the crate. Everything is progressing smoothly, not had any accidents for over a week now. So it's been a rather quick turnaround, lovely to have her properly crate trained again. Thank you all for sharing advice on the situation.

    Agree with Debra: apart from any medical issues, it looks like he is protecting the new life. Cute as it may be, it's not his job. Your husband should step up to the plate and take first position in a clear way. All the best!
