Basenji Talk
  • It's the 1st September and as usual Cooper thinks Winter is upon us !!!!

    Ok it's a little colder, not much mind you, the sun is still shining, but not in the world of Coop !!!! I will not give in to emotional blackmail….............I will not put the heating on...............I won't................don't care what faces you pull............................I won't...............don't start putting the shakes on either.......................Oh for pities sake.......................only for a minute then...................................

    Gold Star for Cooper, the Basenji strikes again !!!!!!!:D:D:D

  • Ha know the feeling:rolleyes: Belle has been giving me that look for the past few days as the temp has dropped a bit but not enough for me to put the heating on yet. She just gets her blanket put over her on the sofa:D

  • Yesterday in Vancouver, BC we had what amounted to a monsoon. I walked a half block at one point and looked like I had been in a long shower - just dripping wet. Our animals at home were most upset with the weather too. Barney (angel child cat) had the saddest look on his face. I opened the door for him and he just stood there, looked outside and then turned to look at me - a look of sadness and utter disgust. But today is better and he is out in the yard, protecting his property. Oh why don't I live in Hawaii?

  • @Kipawa:

    Yesterday in Vancouver, BC we had what amounted to a monsoon.

    It spent most of yesterday raining down here in Washington also. My wife had to chase my two down the steps first thing in the morning for them to go outside.

    They gave me the "Yeah… not going to happen" look when I opened the door for them to go outside for our walk.

    @YodelDogs: If Chance continues his interest in mounting and sniffing Kiya's "female parts", there could be something else going on. It is not unusual for female pups to get puppy vaginitis. This ailment produces aromas that male dogs mistake for being in season. (People can't smell it.) Left untreated, the male dog will aggravate the female so much that fights can occur. I use an ecchinasea/goldenseal capsule daily, opened and mixed with something "smelly" to hide the bitter taste. The problem is always resolved within one week. I am not a veterinarian though so you should discuss this ailment when you take Kiya to your vet. And Robyn is right, this could be the problem also, however in knowing Chance and seeing his behavior with other dogs, I think much of this is that he is just very inmature for his age and never really learn "proper" play with other dogs… he is not aggressive to other dogs, he is just inappropriate with some of his antics.... Kiya, given the chance will put him in his place... but I would think this house is going to get really loud with Basenji sounds...

    It's funny how Lillie refuses to go outside in the rain to do her business. Surprise yesterday when it was raining, she spotted the rottweiler who lives down the block. She ran outside on my deck to get a good view of him. Hmm, what's that all about?:) Thankfully, it has stopped raining (at least for awhile) so my husband and son just took Lillie out for a long, long walk. She is so funny! Jodie:)

    What I tell my puppy owners is that if the puppy will be crated during the day, then it SHOULD sleep with them at night. What is the sense of having a companion that is in a crate during the day, and in the crate at night? I had Caesar crated during the day while I was at work and at night because I had Beta who was the same age, but completely an out of control basenji due to her rescue background. They were crated together. Neither ever complained. Caesar complained as a puppy. Each situation is different and unique I suppose.

    @felakuti: our felakuti goes barooooooo when he is very very happy. :) we decided to get that little female basenji at Debbie's Petland, the one with the 5 toes..We have named her Queen Nyahbinghi after a warrior queen of the 19th century in Uganda…her call name is Nyah. :) so now we have two lovedoveys. :) Good luck with your pup….. hopefully you got her for a reasonable price... I would be interested to know if AKC papers came with her... and what the breeding is, if available.... also would hope that with the time she spent in the Pet Store, this will show them that a Basenji is not a good business decision.....
