Lexi's goes down for a number of reasons- she's scared, SUPER relaxed, or not feeling well. It's not always a bad thing though. And theirs always flattens out when they run! So funny! Miles's tail has a kink in it; I'll have to hold him down and take a pic of it… maybe tonight.

Ah the famous Budda pose. Sometimes I wonder how they can be comfortable sitting like that?

Love the hamster paws picture of Jack- Cute little bunny rabbit!

They just do it to hear all the silly human sounds we make, just like they do when they eat something disgusting.

…Here we go lol

I love the pictures on the new patio too - I like the morning sunlight. Very nice indeed.

Is this THE tail?? Or kanelbulle in swedish 😉

I'm just an owner, but I really like basenji's when they are larger. Males are really impressive.

The compound- Your place is so cool it seems like it would be cool to market or design backyard dog habitats for a living.

I guess the problem with any landscaping business is highing people to work for you and sometimes having to do all the work yourself.

The guy at Aquascapes ponds built a multi million dollar empire from his garage. It all started from him building turtle ponds in his back yard.

Yes, my husband suggested I find homes for the cats instead, but one cat I've had for 13 years and I love him dearly and the other is young but so shy, I'm not sure she'd find a good home. I think it will be easier to find Rowdy a good home, at least I hope so. Today he's been a good boy. This is hard.

can you link your pictures to this thread as well?

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm learning a lot from the discussions on his looks!

Too precious!!!

Yes, I know what you mean. Cairo now has a full set of big teeth and is learning bite sensitivity.

What a great time you and your basenjis had. A much needed and much deserved break!! Thanks for sharing your photos.

A B for your first dog? Wow, you are brave!

ha, how does she do with a bath?

they look like they would play all day…..

They rip through our garden & yard everytime they go out hoping to surprise/catch animals.

I had to go around certain areas of the fence where the female (tiny tank) hits the fence, when the squirrels runs up it and screw the boards in. The contant inpact knocks the boards loose. One time she blew right through the fence into our neihbors yard! She just stood there confused like "where am I?"

I want to come back in my next life as a B living at the Basenji Park! 😃

@Mantis:

Is the one on the right the girl? Do they get along great? They look like quite the pair! Congrats! And you are so thoughtful to take a pair and keep them together!

I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your questions–I missed your post somehow.....Yes--Zoey is the little girl on the right. She is actually quite a bit smaller than Tyler, but it's hard to tell from this photo. Tyler is a big, handsome boy, and Zoey is a sweet faced little girl. They have always been together--Zoey was one of the girls from I believe the last litter that Tyler sired--and they get along really well--however, Tyler does do some resource guarding of me. He seems to get jealous when I pay attention to Zoey. But other than that--they get along just great. Zoey always looks to Tyler to take the lead. But Tyler is the one who goes more bananas if left alone at home. The reason I wanted to get two is because I work all day. Zoey has gotten a little more assertive with Tyler since I've had them--I think maybe because she now has me to look to for support and protection in addition to him.

Nala ate her first bed like that! We got an outdoor one and she would lay on it and not chew it, but then my brilliant husband put it inside a wicker basket - she ate the basket. Now we have an enormous bed from Costco for inside during the winter and out on the porch during the summer.
We buy the beds like that at Wal-Mart for $10 so we can just toss them if she digs or chews them. So far, so good!
She's awfully cute!!

That is so sweet! What pals they will certainly be!
