Glad to know "my" soup did its part to support our troops! LOL
I don't know how I homeschool, do daycare, and have a B. I guess I wake up in the morning and there they all are! So, I roll up my sleeves and get busy with the day.
Yes,you are a pet lover, I have 2 cats, one 17 years, and one 10yrs. and only 1 Basenji. My sister has 5 cats, 2 dogs, a rabbit, and a lizard, one of her cats she rescued from Pet smart. She lookes alot like your gray cat, and it also looked just like a gray one she had to put down. Please show more animal pictures.
I tend to be very sarcastic and it doesn't always show through in an email format. I actually see nothing wrong with talking about our Bs everywhere! I am hooked already and Joey has been with us only 2 weeks!!!
Very humorous response, Jill!!!
I like the name "Fashion Parade", maybe it should be a topic here on Basenji Forums under "Show Off Your Dog". For members who like to dress up their Basenji(s).
IM so sorry for your loss … it almost sounds like feline leukemia or feline aids... we had 2 litter mates die from it... And the symtoms you describe sound all to familar ... You might contact your vet and ask questions... If you have other cats, this is a highly contagious desease.
My best friend use to own an African Gray. They are one of the best speaking birds in the world. I'm sure Little Mama's vocabulary will continue to increase over years to come. My friend's bird would shreek "Hello" if the phone rang, and "come in" if the doorbell rang. Sidney could even speak in whole sentences, which sometimes were hard to understand.
@ChaseandZahrasmom:
Robyn,
Do you have an update on the kitten? I loved the photos and was curious how she was doing.
The kitten has been here about a week and a half. I have to admit that raising this orphan kitten is totally different than I expected. I have raised a few litters of puppies (none orphans though) and by this age, puppies are nearly weaned and are quite playful. This kitten doesn't know how to play yet and I'm puzzled by the difficulty of weaning him. His teeth are mostly in but he has stubbornly refused all of my attempts at switching him to solid food. (Gerber meat baby food, canned kitten food, and moistened dry kitten food are all met with distaste.) He is very healthy and vigorous but he is awfully "runty" looking. Once he gets on a good solid food his growth rate should improve.
I moved him to a bigger crate today and put a large, flat metal food dish with a 1" lip in the crate to use as a litter box. Its heavy enough to not flip over and short enough for him to get into easily. Though he has shown no interest, I put a flat bowl of dry kitten food and a heavy crock "hamster" dish in his crate with water. I put a soft fake sheepskin pad in for him to lay on and a couple of toys for him to explore.
I let him run around the kitchen and living room a few times a day for exercise. He can run pretty good now and he follows my feet around the house. Oddly though he shows no curiousity towards exploring or playing with anything. Perhaps he is just too young yet? He has a mighty set of lungs on him! He is quite the talkative chap. No need to put a bell on him as I can hear him with every move he makes LOL! Since he has no siblings, I am allowing him to interact with my 3 adult cats. This is a slight risk but I figured that if he was diseased he would be showing signs or be dead by now and he appears to be quite healthy.
The kitten is very cute but I still plan to turn him over to a cat rescue group when he's old enough. Unless I find him a home before then that is. :)
My black cat is named Spot. He did have spots for a short while when as a kitten he stood under my brother while he was bleaching his hair and ended up with his own bleach blond spots.
Hey my Basenji boy Gibby is startled everytime he sees a mirror. I really think sometimes he has no idea what he looks like as he sees more humans than other dogs! Lord knows somedays I am sure I will look over and see him walking across the room on the 2 hind legs as he so curious about things above him…I do know that is one handsome Grandson and CONGRATS!
Hi Robyn,
I added the video inside your post instead of a link. I think its easier to see it right here instead of going off to another site.
We also added a new bbcode called [yt], in case anyone wants to add youtube.com videos inside their posts.
Thank you,
