Ohhhh...... what a sweet cutie pie!! He's going to give you tons & loads of love... along with testing your patience from time to time but... that's what all kids do ~ whether they've got 2 legs or 4 .. right? And yes, pictures all along the growing up stages (even if it's one where he gets all the stuffing out of a couch pillow) Very lucky you are! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Awkward Family Photos

I love the pics of your sheba and basenji together. I get asked quite frequently if my basenjis are shebas, lol.
Oh, and 2 of my basenjis, Ruby and Brando both sleep like that.

thanks for sharing
yes, Zest sleeps like that. -
These b's sleep in all sorts of positions. Glad you were able to share these photos.
Lovely b's. -
Great pictures.. I love the one of them laying so nicely together.
My dogs rarely snuggle with each other as well, unless it is cold outside, then any body heat is better then none.. -
And at shows, Sheba and Basenji people always say to each other…. Look it is a Sheba without hair or Look it is a Basenji with hair!

I love the pics of the two Dogs together and hearing about how they get along .

Great pictures! They are really beautiful dogs, and I'm sure will bond moreso as time goes on. As to the sleeping position - Basenjis have some of the strangest sleeping positions I've ever seen. Mine has been in the same as your picture many times. They especially like to hide their faces to sleep. Quite often if you have throw pillows on a couch they will stick their whole head behind them to sleep, sometimes when they are upside down. Funny little creatures, all in all!

People used to misidentify Bowdu as a basenji all the time. I also got asked if he was a Finnish Spitz once, which makes more sense, since he obviously has way too much fur for a basenji! Now that they're side-by-side on our walks and whatnot, I think there's less confusion. I don't really have a feel for which breed people are able to identify more readily though.
Interesting to hear that many B's sleep in that position. I tried to imagine it for myself, and it just didn't feel comfortable. Then again, I'm a biped with a short neck… what do I know?!

Great pics! Cody and our mix are somewhat the same way, except that Cody loves to cuddle, but Moe will have none of it. I agree, they will probably get closer over the years. While Cody and Moe are close now, they still don't seek each other out while they are inside unless one wants to play or Cody is cold and wants to cuddle (to which Moe almost always gets up and finds a new place to sleep). Even when they are outside, they will play for a while and then go find something else to do by themselves.
Cody sleeps in that position too, as well as many other awkward ones. Sometimes it looks like he has an extra leg!
