Basenji Sitter needed - College Station, TX

An apartment would not be a problem if you give your B plenty of exercise and nose time. Also, the office would be great, but do realise that dogs need a lot of sleep, not only puppies. Our 2 sisters (7 and 6) sleep all night and most of the day. So your B would need a quiet space in the office to retreat and sleep. Agree with eeeefarm: puppy time is extra intensive, but so much fun. Try to be with your B as much as possible. Enjoy!

Thankfully I am close to those who live above and below me because Oakley was horrible when his separation anxiety was bad..while he is super quiet its the whining, crying and howling from me leaving that others could clearly hear.
I was always worried about it. Luckily, his anxiety is much much better and while sometimes he will have his moments, it's few and far in between.

You know, I'm surprised that I didn't get in on this thread from the very start, I know that picture very well, I may well be one of the people responsible for it being "out there". It's funny, the blog mentions that the picture is from the '70's… nope sorry, 1993 I'd say. The little tri female running in right wheel position (with her head down) was from my first (and only) Basenji litter. She was born June 22,1992. The names of all the dogs are written on the back of the picture but I don't know where it is. I've got 3 views of that Basenji sled team but the one you usually see is the best.

Sad news about Annie though, she was quite the person. First time I saw her was at the Canadian National in '91, she was gaiting (storming) around the ring and I remember thinking, "this woman is serious, don't get in her way". She used to do competitive weight pulling with her Basenjis too.

@DebraDownSouth:

By original, do you mean the breeders or are they the ones who turned her over to rescue?

Glad she is in a loving home!

Debra, it is Lolly's original owner who was concerned for her, for some reason she had to give her up, the second owner put her with the dogs trust instead of giving her back.
Lolly came originaly from a petshop :eek:
I have now on request from Lolly's new owner been able to put them in touch with each other so that information can be shared.
Lolly seems as if she's got a super new home.

@Gabriel:

Wow, that is so good to know that my Noel is not crazy. She also does the B-500 and it is hilarious. So it is just not for puppy's?? Older B's also do this?

Definitely not just for puppies…
All 3 of mine (2 adults, 1 pup) are free to do the b500 indoors until furniture starts getting moved or knocked over...then they are sent outdoors! It is pretty funny having Liyah (5mo pup) be the chasee because she runs under furniture as well as on top so it keeps the adults guessing where she will come out! :D:D:D

BDawg-that's a GREAT game to play when you come home 😃 😃 Altho I don't think mine would stay in the crate & wait for me to hide LOL LOL LOL 😃 😃
