Kizmet, our first basenji

    Here is a picture of our girl! It is an adventure so far! She is such a fun dog and the cat is going to be her friend! The cat hissed and Kizmet ran up and pushed kittys nose with her nose and ran away! Wish I had the camera for that! So far, so good and I am sure they will get along fine with time and supervision of course! Crate is a good thing although it is a bit challenging at bedtime. I have been bad and letting little Kizmet sleep on my lap while I watch Nascar and should probably be playing with her instead. Tired dogs sleep better! Our shepherd mix has never been crated and sits next to crate and whimpers with Kizmet! Tonight shepherd mix- Gypsy is sleeping in the bed with us and hopefully things will quiet down quicker! Kizmet gets the living room which is warmer than our bedroom and the cat sleeps in her tree next to the crate. Hopefully kitty doesn't get the crazies at midnight and wake Kizmet! New routine with puppy addition is going smoothly so far! I think puppies are a great alternative to gym memberships! I am whooped! Pee pads are great but I like my dogs to potty outside so today is a new record for potty trips to the outdoors! Gypsy likes it! Kizmet is pretty well leash trained already and it has only been a day and a half! Looking forward to lots of new adventures! :D

    Thank you Debra. Sayblee is a very good looking dog and I love the way adult Basenjis bodies fill out as adults. I like how the brown goes down her legs too giving the appearance of white socks. I will definitely keep your words in mind should I see any signs of aggression forming as he matures. I can only pray I luck out and he continues to get along well.

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    Rafismom, we started him out in a crate, but he hated it. Cried something fierce. We then started leaving him in my son's room, and he was absolutely fine….well, until he started crying again. Then we gave him roam of the house while we were gone, and have had no problems at all. Yes, I know. I'm lucky! He absolutely hates for us to leave, but he's good while we are gone. No complaints here, for sure. Maybe it's the possible black lab that mixed in that makes him so calm? He has his moments, especially outside when he sees a squirrel, etc., but overall he's a very calm pooch. Just last week, I was walking the dog at a local park when I hear a woman saying something about the dog. She was a good distance away. I then realize she was talking to me and asked if my dog was friendly. I said, "yes" and she came over to pet him. She told me that the dog reminded her of her first dog. She said her first dog was a basenji. After more chatting, she said that it was actually a basenji mix, but that my dog looked a lot like hers. She told me how much she loved that dog and told me all sorts of stories about her. Such a nice lady. Gave me a few bits of advice and about a half hour later we parted ways. This is my first dog, and I've been amazed at how friendly other dog people are when I'm walking him. This has been a great experience.
