Arrival Story:
My husband and I were recently married and decided that we would love a dog. I had never owned a dog before. I did my researched and we went to many dog shows to check out breeds. When I saw the basenji I fell in loved with their look; their size; their eyes; their beauty. We talked to a lot of breeders at the shows and did the research; however, nothing prepared me for the Basenji. Talker was 6 months old when we got him from his breeder. It was love at first sight. We brought him home and endured the next few years with him. Although the next few years were "ruff" we loved him so much and loved spending every moment with him. He became so much a part of our life. We wouldn't change a thing.

Back to Being a Bad Boy Basenji

I've been under the weather since last Thursday. You see I had some fatty tissues removed from my neck and chest area AND I also had three teeth removed! UGH! The pain of it all. But I'm better and except for my scars...I look pretty good.

I know I'm feeling better and back to my old self because last night I nabbed my dad's chicken off his plate! You see Mom went to my food bin to feed me and realized that it was covered with ANTS! So while mom and dad were freaking out about my dog food having ants in it, I was in the living room stealing dad's unattended chicken dinner off his plate. They didn't realize what I had done so Mom served me up a new bowl of JUST WET FOOD (I get this delicious Pulled Beef food with gravy and it's yummy) . :c9 After she was done feeding me she went into the living room and found dad's fork on the floor and his plate emptied and that's when she realized that I had swiped his chicken off his plate.

Ooooh it was worth it! I got the double whammy of delight last night.

I hope Dad doesn't hold it against me cuz I'm all out of kibble.

 

Vet Appointment on January 24th

Oh no! I'm going to have surgery on Thursday.

I got my results from Dr. Dodds on my thyroid and I'm slightly elevated. The report asked if I had a mass on my neck. Well..as a matter of fact, I do. Mom and the vets have been watching my bulge on my neck and checking it. The last two checks they have said it was a fatty tumor. Since I'm having my teeth cleaned, the vet lady said she would remove it. We were waiting for the thyroid results from Dr. Dodds. It's odd that she would mention it and now the Vet Lady says, it may be a thyroid mass.

So they are going to take it out and really have it checked. Then I'll have to have my thyroid checked again in four months to see if the levels are normal. The very good thing is that all my other blood work came back "amazing". The vet's words not mine. She said my blood work is AMAZING. That makes mom feel good and me too.

So Thursday I'll be at the vet all day.

 

Banners Brigade Part II

Today was our walk for banners brigade part 2 in Chino Hills. I got home around 3:30 and had to take a nap. Both mom and dad had a nap with me. Oh wait dad is still sleeping!

Mom and dad were very emotional seeing Taj. taj is banners brother and my nephew. He's a Dogster pup too. He looks so much like banners and the tears were flowing. Taj is such a love bug and climbed all over mom and dad. They loved it. It was so hard talking about banners but also good sharing stories with Taj's mom about banners and Taj. Lots of folks came by and commented on banners photos and dad shared some of her life with them.

Our moms made tags, doggie cookies and toys and blankets to sell to donate more money for Bark for life. We raised over $300 with the help of our friends and doggie pals! Thank you!!!!

So how did I do? Well don't tell Santa but I was grumpy wiff Taj. We had a tangle when we first saw each other. I don't know why. Then I wanted to dominate him a few times and he got tired of that and so he snarked at me.

Sorry Taj. Banners wouldn't have like me doing that to you.

Mom took lots of pics of Taj. Oh the best part was the Tri tip! Wow that was sooo good. I was more than willing to share my food wiff Taj but his mom said he gets sick when he eats beef. So oh well more for me. Can you imagine? Getting sick on beef? Is that possible?

It was a good day. There was a lot of stuff going on wiff the pups. Some flying dogs too. Boy those dogs can jump high AND i saw some dogs running and jumping into a huge bath tub just for a toy!!!
I didn't get that at all.

As soon as mom gets more awake she'll post pics but right now I need another nap.
