Basenji Talk

What I tell my puppy owners is that if the puppy will be crated during the day, then it SHOULD sleep with them at night. What is the sense of having a companion that is in a crate during the day, and in the crate at night? I had Caesar crated during the day while I was at work and at night because I had Beta who was the same age, but completely an out of control basenji due to her rescue background. They were crated together. Neither ever complained. Caesar complained as a puppy. Each situation is different and unique I suppose.

They had a sighting yesterday, and they believe that the dog has moved away from the interstate, and into the residential area of Vicksburg. She was seen with a pack last week, but was alone yesterday. They're hoping that since she's in the city now animal control will be more involved.

ha ha, those are cute. if i put a basenji sculpture on the floor Caesar thinks it is alive. I wonder how he would react to something like this! Cute!!

You can buy martingales at Petsmart in the collar section near the choke chains.

Congrats, welcome and we can't wait to see her and hear how she's doing. I'm sure she'll thrive in her new home!

Oh, I think the cat will realize her limitations as Chance's growth progresses. Right now, the banter is tolerable for both, otherwise this play wouldn't be possible. Atleast cat realizes she can escape over the baby gate. She'll only get better at it. Think of it as good practice for both. Hopefully! :D

OMG! Those matching sweaters are adorable!! They look like quite the handsome pair! Do you have one too, Betsey?? That would make it complete!!

i love it when jack does that psycho thing where he jumps in a mini circle with his head stright up, lol,. like a bolt of electricity schocked him, hehe

@elena86: She mentioned that basenjis don't bark or shed, but they don't behave either. LOL! 10 points for honesty! :D :p :D

my dog loves Bully Sticks. I usually buy the ones made by Red Barn. Here's a link: http://www.redbarninc.com/c-11-bully-sticks.aspx I only buy the 12" or larger variety. As soon as the stick is chewed down to about 3", I throw it out. another long lasting one is a filled hoof, by the same company. http://www.redbarninc.com/c-23-filled-hooves.aspx warning - these stink!!!

Curiosity didn't get the cat, it got the Basenji! LOL! Too cute!

Is this a remote for a cordless behavior collar, my cell phone got the treatment last week. Sahara ate the antenna off, my hubby made me a new one as I would have to buy a new phone otherwise, no replacement parts for my cell available. It's nice to have a hubby that can fix about anything, he is rather smart, married me, haha!!!!!

at the dog park occasionally you will see a dog fight in the larger breeds, they typically play rougher…..more chomping action vs. basenji boxing.... the typical dog park protocol is pulling them apart, or the safe route is the bucket of water....total distraction! can you imagine doing that with basenjis.....screams like little girls!! LOL

ROFL ROFL LOL LOL LOL LOL…this is the FUNNIEST story I've ever heard in my life!!! LOL LOL :) Hahaha! I must say that Storm was quite disappointed to see that my "treasure" was a twig - I think he was hoping for a squirrel or a bunny or something a little more animated! ;) :) :D And my neighbors are NOT dog people, sooooo you know darn well they think I ought to be in a straight jacket! :)

I always had to keep an eye on Max on our walks because we had a lot of stray cats around. OMG!! :eek: :eek: NOW I know why they're always sniffing & CHEWING stuff out of the grass. There's a bunch of strays in our nabe EEEEWWWW!!!!!!!!
