it seems to me we should be getting regular basil updates, but instead we are not getting any.
― estela, Thursday, 27 December 2012 10:45 (eleven years ago) link
sorry! we have been very busy going back and forth to my sister's house (45 min each way ugh). finally having a quiet day.
she wasn't really into running around sister's yard on christmas and instead sat nicely for me to take this picture!http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/25023_10151222919866589_2096325533_n.jpg

― tehresa, Thursday, 27 December 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
she really loves her monkey (but she already killed the squeaker in his head)http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/68917_10151225626996589_46857643_n.jpg

― tehresa, Thursday, 27 December 2012 21:11 (eleven years ago) link
thank you t<3, early impressions are that she is top notch with a desirable element of disgraceful.
― estela, Thursday, 27 December 2012 23:21 (eleven years ago) link
i love the black/white color combination, it's just like my disgraceful cat
― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 28 December 2012 00:25 (eleven years ago) link
Basil is cuter than the other dogs you posted so I'm glad you ended up with her!
― smoove operator, Friday, 28 December 2012 02:46 (eleven years ago) link
^^^
i wanna play with her ears, which is probably rude
― mookieproof, Friday, 28 December 2012 04:18 (eleven years ago) link
her ears are awesome and she doesn't mind them being petted but I dunno how much ridiculousness she would tolerate.
― tehresa, Friday, 28 December 2012 14:07 (eleven years ago) link
This is one lovely pup - is she part exuberant monster and part drowsy lovelorn beggar?
― jaq, Friday, 28 December 2012 21:52 (eleven years ago) link
yes! she lovvves to run and would chase after every squirrel she saw if i would let her. she had a blast playing with my sister's dog today, and was definitely displaying some alpha traits. but she also has a habit of whimpering and looking at you really manipulatively when she wants something. sometimes she just follows me around the house, she lovvvves belly rubs and is currently on the couch next to me snoring away <3
― tehresa, Saturday, 29 December 2012 01:01 (eleven years ago) link
<3next we have to find a puppy for smoove and a cat for mookie.
― estela, Saturday, 29 December 2012 06:54 (eleven years ago) link
Yes!!!
― tehresa, Saturday, 29 December 2012 13:50 (eleven years ago) link
i have now been told by about 6 people that basil looks like a dog named finn, yet we have never encountered finn himself! He seems to be quite popular. Where is this infamous dog?
― tehresa, Saturday, 29 December 2012 13:53 (eleven years ago) link
basil went to the vet today and she was very good and she loved the doctor! stitches out! but she does seem to be allergic to something (she's been sneezing and her paws show signs of licking). vet suggests trying new food as it could be chicken :(
― tehresa, Saturday, 29 December 2012 22:03 (eleven years ago) link
wellness food has been great for harry's skin and paws, he gets a mix of wet and dry food and he loves it better than anything else ever.

it's time for an update.

i don't wanna jinx it but.................
it's maybe gonna happen?!?! LL is def swaying towards saying yes. she called ytth at work and talked his ear off for over an hour - her main concern is that we won't be able to spend enough time with a dog (lol!!!), i thought she was gonna be freaked about the garden and the hardwood floors, and her crazy allergies, but she is an animal lover and just wants to make sure we are fully prepared for the commitment. but she LOVES ytth so much, and of course he had great responses to all her concerns. she is also worried that if she says yes to us, she'll have to see yes to our neighbours, who she doesn't really like and who asked for a dog when they moved in 8 years ago.
she is gonna "sleep on it for a few days" but she said that talking to ytth had def swayed her towards our side.
KEEP ALL YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good luck!
― t. silaviver, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 07:26 (eleven years ago) link
i really really hope she says yes!

Everything crossed!!
Pupdate: Basil is awesome and I love her so much! She started puppy class last week and she is the prettiest, most popular, best behaved girl in class. The other pup moms fawn over her. She learned shake and lay down really fast, but we are struggling a bit with the leash manners (she is easily distracted by squirrels, dogs, birds, buses, cars, people, etc. and pulllls a lot). She is also showing some weird behavior around s! She loves him but then sometimes she gets too excited and pees a tiny bit, usually when he first comes home. It is an excitement/submissive thing rather than a housebreaking thing...he needs to work on his approach to her maybe? I didn't even know this was a thing!
The other day we went for a meet and greet at the doggy daycare recommended by our new upstairs neighbor, who has a dog that basil gets along with like gangbusters. They only let her meet the other dogs for a few min and then they said she exhibited like every type of doggy behavior possible. Weird. Anyway, she is going on Thursday to see how it goes, and they have a webcam so I can check in on her. She loves the dog park and plays well with all the dogs there, from Rottweilers to pugs, so I don't know what was up with the amy are people. I think she just takes a few min to adjust to new environments and they didn't give her enough time? We'll see. I don't want them to reject her!
I have to go on a work trip next week and it's going to be so hard!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 01:17 (eleven years ago) link
Also I think she is growing! It's hard to say bc I don't have a scale or measurements but she looks a little taller, and I think her face is starting to look a tiny bit re grown up? I could also be making it up.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 01:23 (eleven years ago) link
*more grown up
:)

how much does day care cost?
we figure that we won't need it, bc atm i am only working 3 days p/wk, jordan can take pup at least 1 day a week to work, and poss my boss might let me bring a dog?? idk, she's weird and pass-agg so who knows. but the problem will be when ytth is out of town for work - i will have no way of getting pup to work with me since i don't drive (and it's 6 miles each way, which might be too long a walk for most dogs). even working the shortest day possible, pup would be home alone at least 7.5 hours. i guess we could hire a walker, but i'm uncomfortable giving my house key to a stranger.
