Dolce update

Show Off Your Dog
  • Just wanted to provide an update on Dolce. She is doing well and seems to be anti-basenji in her mannerisms so far. She is a major lap dog, can't stand to be away from us and loves to give kisses. She started her show training last week and begins her obedience training on Saturday. She already knows sit, lie down, shake & stand. Stay, however, is not in her vocabulary, I find it difficult to catch her sitting still for photographs. Below is a list of her major likes and dislikes.

    Likes:
    Eating-Anything
    Shredding her beds
    Sleeping on the heat vents
    Rawhide
    The neighbors rat terriers
    Being on our laps
    Giving kisses
    Chewing on Denim
    Lying in towels just out of the dryer

    Dislikes:
    Sleeping through the night
    The Crate!!!!!
    Snow
    Going outside when its cold or rainy-Which is everyday in GA this year!
    Cars
    Not being allowed on the furniture

  • Sounds like Dolce is doing realy well

  • When I die I want to be reincarnated as a basenji in your household!! Dolce already owns more clothing & accessories than I do!

    She's sooo stinking cute! Are you bringing her to the lure coursing trial in Cartersville this weekend?

  • Awwww there's my girl. You forgot one of her likes….chewing on people's hair. :D

    Me too! Natalie spends more on the dog in the first 2 weeks than she spends on me in a year. We will try to come on Sunday to the trials.

  • She is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

    I've already replaced one set of bedsheets due to the digging. I swear he does it as soon as I leave the room, I'll hear him start digging, then he gets demoted to the couch (I guess this isn't really punishment…).

    @McCannClan: What an adorable girl! I love those wrinkles and she actually poses for you. I cannot get my new girl to sit still long enough for that… I think Faro is a bad influence on her. Your Athena is beautiful. Hoping you have many fun filled loving days with her. Thank you! It amazes me. She always sits still or stops moving when I'm pointing my camera/phone at her. It's like she knows. Every day since I got her has been fun! @DebraDownSouth: What a cutie! In a couple, it shows the white of one eye and I was going to ask if she has a "lazy eye", but then I looked back at the baby ones… nope, just your camera angle and her looking at you a bit from side. Cara has an absolute lazy eye, btw.. so you know why I was looking! I envy you that cute baby stage. OMG wouldn't it be wonderful if you could keep them like that. Give that wrinkly face a kiss for me. Sigh. Thank you! At times it does look like she has a slight lazy eye but mostly it's the camera angle and the way her head is. Don't worry, I give her many hugs & kisses everyday! this is my favorite picture I've taken thus far. [image: IMG00470-20110329-2131.jpg]

    @Mantis: How old is she? Tell us more about her. She is so cute! When we got her (late Oct 2006) the vet thought she was 9-12 mos based on teeth. Over the months she has been getting more spots on her belly. Dont know if that gives any sign of age or not. She seems smaller than some of the Basenjis on this site. She is very thin and muscular. Is there a difference between sizes Male vs females? Could she have been a runt?
