Such a good night to be tucked in…. 😴 Sweet dreams, all.

It’s a good day for a foot warmer! New girl, Marley is up to the task! 😎

Hannah rarely has stomach issues, but I think some new cookies I’ve given her are giving her squishy poops. Luckily, she loves watermelon, which can be very helpful with the situation!

Happy Friday! Hope nobody is suffering from Thanksgiving hangovers, food or otherwise ! We slept great - Beanie loves her new tent bed, for winter, and now if she wakes up in the middle of the night, I don’t worry that she’s not covered up! 🥰 Basenji like to be toasty!

From “our flock” to yours, (and a day early!) Sean and I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Playgroup is on for tomorrow, Wednesday, and then we return to the regular schedule next Monday.
We want to thank everybody who donated their pumpkins to us - the critters are enjoying them! 😍🍁🐿️🦌

Any clients throwing your Autumn pumpkins out to the trash? Give them to us instead! We throw ours way out in the back of the yard, where all of our critters can enjoy them - from the squirrels, possums, raccoons, and turkeys, all the way up the food chain. I’ve seen foxes enjoying them on the trail camera and even “Tony” here, our resident coyote. Thanks! 🐾 🎃

I’m not sure how keen Betty is on this encroachment! 🙃

Happy Saturday! Enjoy the latest bunch of dog pics. 😋

Hannah’s first trip to the Old North Bridge in Concord. 🙂 Had fun exploring the meadows, helping Beanie hunt for little critters in the tall grass, and learning to pose for pics and refrain from exuberantly greeting every single person who was out walking, lol!

What good pups! Practicing “who wants to sit for a cookie?” 😋

Sweet Rosie has been attending playgroup for a couple of months, and is very shy and timid. She’s been making slow but steady progress - she will sniff around the yard now, (rather than just shadowing me for safety!) and although she does not play with the other dogs, she will now at least allow them to come up and sniff her to say “hello,” whereas it used to make her extremely uncomfortable.
Almost every time Rosie sits behind me in the van, Beans paws at her and makes little playful noises - I swear, my crazy girl is trying to help pull shy Rosie out of her shell! (Whether or not it is working, remains to be seen, lol!) 😆

We are not working today, playgroup resumes tomorrow, all!

Well, it turns out that Beanie the Basenji isn’t the only wild dog in the family! Hannah’s DNA results came, and while we definitely thought there was some husky or something in her, the other breeds surprised me. Now it makes sense that I’ve been calling her my “little wolf.” I had to look up Calupoh (a Mexican dog/wolf mix!) and of course Polynesian Street Dog would be naturally wild! 🐺🐾🏝️🗾🥰 So fun to see the results.

Posting this pic early, so nobody thinks it’s a “half in the bag” post! 🤣 Beans and Hannah were playing tug-of-war with both of these little lamb toys just a while ago, and when I finally got the dogs settled in their beds, these little things look like they were slaughtered where they lay, lol! Or at least they did to me… I guess you had to be there, maybe. 😋

I always get a kick out of the waiting for the pictures !

01/11/2024

Good girls, patiently waiting for dinner! 😆

So far, not much hope for any worthwhile Halloween posts on “the socials” on this end… who knows, maybe the cats will cooperate!? 🎃🐈‍⬛🌕

Another good night photo, from The Bean (and Minnie) 🥰🌙 😴

Hannah has TWO crazy Basenjis to play with for the next week or so!! Zuri is staying with us, and our girls Beanie and Hannah are very happy! (And I’ve got a wine rack that is full, so I’m OK!) 🤣 #basenjisofinstagram #germanshepherd #idgsrescuer #dogsatplay #suespetcare

Training begins! 😍

We were very lucky that for almost 3 weeks our baby girl was actually staying in the home of the founder of the rescue where she came from down in Tennessee, whereas our poor Bruno had gone straight from an animal shelter into a vet for boarding, and never had this wonderful experience. And now we continue her training, and we know she’s going to be the best dog! (Keeping in mind that any dog compared to a Basenji is a really good dog ha ha ha!)

Our baby girl has been put on the transport truck coming up from Tennessee, I’ll be picking her up very early tomorrow morning in Rhode Island. Cannot wait to meet her, and cannot thank Imminent Danger German Shepherd Rescue for another sibling for little Beans, who really needs another dog family member in her life, since Bruno passed away over the summer .

It’s officially “hide your hat from Beanie” season! 🙃😈🐶

It’s dinner time and Betty is hangry! 😂 #catsanddogs #tortitude #badkitty #basenji #gooddog

It’s always fun when we get to playgroup and the dogs from each van see their buddies from the other ! 🥰🐶🎉

Cat testing little Lulu couldn’t have gone better!! 🥰 #beaglesofinstagram #catsanddogs #goodkitty #dogtraining #gooddogs #catanddogfriends

Beanie and Cricket, making the most of afternoon traffic…. #bernerstyle #bernesemountaindog #basenji #massachusettstrafficjam #summerchillin

For today, a much happier post - this was a few minutes ago. 🙂

Hi all - I will text all of the clients in the morning at a reasonable hour. I want to let everybody know that around 12:30 last night, our Bruno passed away in his bed in our bedroom. Bruno had been on antibiotics for what we thought was an inner ear infection , for about five days , and had been doing really well. He was fine all day today and had not been showing any odd behavior- put himself to bed after the last pee break around midnight, as he always did. About 20 minutes later, I went back up into the bedroom to put some laundry away, and he had passed. I have NO idea what happened, I don’t know if it was the antibiotics combined with pain meds, which I had heard could cause side effects with kidneys - or as the vet had suggested a few weeks ago - he might’ve had some sort of tumor growing causing pain in his ear and throat… We really don’t know right now. I am obviously beyond devastated and I’m going to take the rest of the week off from playgroup. I will be in touch with everyone personally as far as picking up weekend dogs and in advance, we appreciate everyone’s love and support, because we know it is coming.
