Freya will baroo and wag her tail like crazy whenever somebody she loves comes to our house. It can be one of us, or one of my friends that she associate with going for walks. Whenever the kids come home with one of their friends, the reaction is always: what the heck was that? We laugh and explain that she is just happy.

Loki does not baroo, but he will sometimes bark/yelp when a stranger comes to the door. He will also cry/scream if he thinks that he is going to be left by himself. When they were in puppy school I had them in separate classes to minimize the mischief and one time I left him in the car during Freya's class. My godness! It was virtually impossible to get the other dogs (and humans) to concentrate on the lesson with Loki sounding like a human baby having its fingernails pulled out!!!

That's ok who wants life to be easy and nothing ever happening?????? Yes we now have three gates and tons more fun and laughing. Out ten year old shiba has even got up and is now playing more and running around like she is a pup she don't run as long but that is a good thing for us.
The phones and cell phones we have to really really watch or they are gone. The tv remote was gone once but Jaycee got a treat for that beacuse my husband watch's to much tv anyway and this away it was a whole lot harded but we found it the next day.
We have learned whats Jaycee's is Jaycee's whats ours is Jaycee's and anything else is Jaycee's.

Mowgli looks great, very pleased for you and looking foward to hearing all about him and Shango. Lets hope his sister finds a great home to.

:D:D:D Your description of Otis meeting the other Basenjis had me in stiches Basenjimomma:D

Hi there, Im from Australia too….you have such a beautiful puppy there how old is he now and what breeder did you get him from? my boy is 11 weeks and your right they grow so fast that they do look older than they are

would love to see some more pics of him 🙂

yes, vets…go and see another one! I lost one dog because the vet took too long to find out that my previous dog had be poisonned by rat poison (an italian greyhound). vets do what they can of course but...some are definitely better than others, so...when in doubt, change!

@Rita:

I have noticed when I get a text the phone makes a little like click sound. I only knew because I have been holding it ready to text when I got one maybe this what they hear. It really is funny I would love to see several Basenjis jumping up and down playing when on phone. Maybe you could record that and have poeple watch to see what is in store for them when they own a B.

Well that was many years ago… and they have passed over the rainbow bridge now.... too bad that technology back then was not what it is now with all the easy of doing videos... and it was more the noise that they would make.. you would have thought someone was getting killed... OH WAIT... that was me "ready" to kill them...ggggg

Our mail man had Basenji as boy growing up. He never really say much drop mail but a short time after we got Jaycee he seen her at door. Jeff is his name knocked at door and ask if he could see her. That may have been best thing that ever happen. Jaycee waits on Jeff everday and always happy to see her.
He told us here week or two ago he and his wife never had kids at least not yet he said he would claim Jaycee.

I won't be able to make the dinner (and most likely won't attend the National at all due to home issues). So take plenty of pics and regale us with all sorts of stories…and have fun! Oh, and please post results as they are available.

More than likely if can make it at all, I'd arrive on Friday and fly out late Sunday. Liyah isn't entered in Sweeps, so I don't need to kill myself to get there on Thursday.

He certainly doesn't look underweight but I'm sure he shouldn't lose any more.

What a handsome boy!

That is great wish there was a way to understand just what they smell and what it is. Very smart little babies.

Rita Jean

Quite welcome and deserved!:D

We should get all our babies together at a park some time.

I just weighed Otis, and this is after he ate breakfast..he now weighs 23.8lbs, and is looking trimmer for sure. His ribs are definitely right under the surface now, as supposed to a little squishy..the no-bacon, no-butter, no-cinnamon roll diet worked..He did however, with some help from our dachshund, Gus, get a hold of one of our roosters, Elmer, and hurt him bad..we had to put poor Elmer down. Now we have reinforced the fence, on the chicken side, so they can't get over and be a treat for the dogs..Boy was he remorseful after that ordeal..or at least that is how he came across.
Thanks all for helping me with your inputs, much appreciated..

just want to be smart mouths, and I think they are just jealous. Everyone that I have told that my dog doesn't bark replies,"Now that is what I need, it must be nice".

Shouldn't it read durable enough for basenjis, ha ha

I stayed in a neighbourhood with plenty of dogs. My Bs are anti dogs. They are prone to aggressive behaviour because they want to be the Queen Bitches. I thought they were just anti JRT and Big dogs. Now it seems they are anti everybody….sigh......

Me too. We had a Siberian Husky mix growing up in NJ and she always sang with the noon or the fire whistle.
I hope you hear the sweet sounds of Cooper singing soon…

Ah - Tissues !

What joy, what Basenji Heaven !
