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 ! 🥰🐶🎉

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.
We had a visit from the injured! Happy pups. 😍
And one more… our wedding song. SO wonderful to see Jimmy and Joe! Fun night. Felt like old times. ❤️
Fun without dogs! 😋
