Late to the party…as always. But my boy does that just about every other night. He is quite vocal...in his sleep, and even while awake. He is far more vocal than my previous fella. He sometimes wakes me up with his noises. Yes, he wil growl, whine, and howl/yodel in his sleep. Welcome to my world!

@sharronhurlbut:

Oh, honey, you can't fix stupid!

SO well said, Sharron.

None of mine care for young puppies of any breed, they try and avoid them. Once the pup is 8 or 9 months old, mine seem to like the same pup they have been growling and snapping at for 6 months!

I agree with the yard as a more neutral area. Good luck, he's a cute puppy, hopefully will get neutered then your dogs may like him better.

I love hearing these stories about Basenjis - and you do tell them well. I look forward to hearing more!

Great pic. I wonder what a basenji Captain Kirk looks like?

My dog trainer laughed when I told him I got a Basenji, he said " you went from a lab who is easy to train and wants to please, to a Basenji who wants to do their own thing." He was right, Sophie my lab is very obedient and Kahirah… not so much! I will add that after 8 weeks of training my trainer said that Kahirah was a great dog even if she didnt listen very well.
As others have posted my vet was also surprised how friendly she is because according to her lots of Basenjis are nippy

Can you post an update of what happened with the cats and basenjis got together?

Thanks,
Merry

Very cute - I'm sure putting that stuff on him helped a lot with the look in his eyes, slightly peeved!

@khanis:

Very bizarre… I heard a story like this years ago but had forgotten all about it. Story was VERY similar.
Thanks for the jog down memory lane.

Wish you could remember. The story behind the story for me. I must have been in 4th or 5th grade (so would have been 1971 or 72) and had to write a story along the lines of Paul Bunyan, a tall tale. My mother was helping me and told me this story as an example and being the rotten kid I was I wrote it down and turned it in :rolleyes:. Since its almost 40 years later it's not exactly as told given the years and memory loss I filled in what I couldnt remember. I do recall my teacher telling me that my story was not a tall tale not sure what grade I got on it more than likely it was what I deserved:(

I dont know in terms of distance but mine usually go at least an hour and have gone 2 or more if its cool. I think they would walk all day if I had the time because they never want to go back home though once we get home they will plop down and go to sleep like they are exhausted. Gee mom is just so mean for dragging them all over the neighborhood and keeping them away from their sleep. As was mentioned chief being tri (9 months) feels the heat more than my r/w zoe but now that the days are cooler he keeps up with her fine.

My Maggii hated to have her feet touched…. At one show, the judge ran her hands down Maggii's leg to her foot.... Maggii picked up her foot and held it in the air, ****ed her head and gave the judge a very "evil" eye..... Judges response with a great big grin was "WELL.... excuse me!!!".... it was very cute and Maggii still got Best of Breed that day!

Paco used to dig on the bed, but we started just taking him off the bed each time he did it. We also had to "teach" him how to dig in the sand at the beach…strange!

He still digs at his dog bed, which he thoroughly de-fluffed his second week with us. I let him dig at that all he wants: I don't plan to replace it until it's literally in tatters.

Lovely b…the brindling is beautiful!

Even this summer, my boy has wanted to sleep under his 'bankie'. 90 degrees or more. still wants to be under the blanket. I'm tellin' you , It's an addiction and needs an intervention of some sort 😃

Our Tri only peed on one person's leg in almost 10 years, my sister in law!

"Good boy!"

Praise, praise, pat pat. "What a good boy!"

Is it the tri who's doing this?

If it is, another feather in the tri devil's hat!

Fibula, I should imagine that the two breeds combined would be a bug!!!!

I am literally tearing up right now with that last one. These things certainly make you remember the sayings about two sides to every story.

I just watched that movie (for the umpteenth time) yesterday!! Always makes me laugh…."she's got birds!!!"

Thanks Jenny,

What an interesting walk down memory lane! Now I know I was really there and I did not dream it!

Steve.
