• LOL, really cute - at first I thought, wait, you said you got 1 new pup? :D:D:D Then I realized she was playing with her reflection in the mirror. Super cute!! Does Zelda yodel to her reflection?

    My pup Aaliyah (1yo) used to do the same thing. When my 2 adult basenjis wouldn't play with her, she would grab some toys and bring them to her friend (reflection) in the stereo cabinet. Her tail would flip wildly and she would jump around like Zelda is doing in your video. She would also yodel to her friend in the stereo cabinet. It was so cute. :D:D:D


  • OMG…sooooo cute!


  • Oh, she is precious!! She reminds me so much of my little Maya when she was that age!


  • Yes, you will have plenty of nose art on that mirror. It's a good sign she has been socialized and wants to play with someone.

    Very cute.

    LOL! Very funny.

    No, no yodeling yet. Whines, cries, and a distressed scream that sounds exactly like a seagull. And a little play growl, which I think is the start, maybe, of yodel vocalization.

    Daddy/Mommy….doesn't much matter does it? When it comes to a B. pup you have to be both!!

    Adorable video!!

    She squeezed herself into her toy basket and turned blue!!! :D:D:D:D

    Sorry I couldn't resist - she is adorable and looks like she was just waiting for her pic to be taken. So cute!!! Just wait until she's full grown and still tries to climb into that basket! 🙂


  • What a pretty toy 😉


  • She is pretty..so this is Player bred to Klassy?


  • @Quercus:

    Thanks 🙂 Yes, Player and Klassy. So far we think they make really cool kids! We could be biased…


  • She is perfect!


  • Today we walked around in the bright sunshine and discovered pine cones and yard flags in the neighborhood. They flap but are not scary! Also, we think that squirrels look like they will be fascinating.

    I feel like I'd be a terrible ****tail party conversationalist at the moment. "What do you do?" "Well, TODAY I tied a rope around a stuffed bunny and dragged it around the kitchen floor for the puppy! It was great!"

    For the record, it was quite great.
