Where did Nala come from? Can she stay there while you're out of town?
I did not have a good experience with Rover.com. Don't do it.
Can you find and make friends with another basenji owner in your area where you can take turns pet sitting? Maybe you can find local basenji owners on Meetup or Facebook?
My heart would break to leave her at a boarding facility or a vet although she'd probably be fine. I like the idea of a pet sitter staying at your home ONLY IF you can really train the pet sitter on several visits before leaving in August (not far away!!!)
The Basenji Sit
-
So I read on the BRAT page of Basenji "quirks" (http://www.basenjirescue.org/Chey_Miller/Quirks/Quirks.htm) that they have a funny way of sitting. I am still absolutely tickled by the way Bowpi sits… it's too cute! I call it her "Humpty Dumpty" pose because it looks kind of silly, and it makes her look egg-shaped.
Would anyone else like to share pictures of their pups modeling "The Basenji Sit?"

Here's one of AJ:

Haha, that's a great one – especially the expression on his face. I did have to look again to make sure I didn't really see an extra limb!

My Gossy did the basenji sit in training class one night – the instructor wanted to know what was wrong with her!
-
Heh, my gal won't do it except on soft surfaces.
Here's another one.

I love the basenji sit! In the beginning, we thought there was something wrong with Mojo- now we're used to it- but we still can't stop laughing everytime sits!!

i call it her meditation position. and i've taught her the difference between the commands 'sit' and 'meditate.' how funny that other basenjis do this.
