Walking Kell

Show Off Your Dog
  • Hi, well Kell has taken to pulling on our pants from the rear when we do not move fast enough to play with him or get outside for walks. The energy this pup has is amazing! On our walk the day before yesterday, we came upon some barking dogs, which he does not care for, but I made him sit and just listen to them instead of trying to bolt away. Second yard with barking dog, went right by no attempts to bolt past. Felt really good about my smart boy. Then we come to one of the many, many decorated for Halloween yards in our neighborhood. In this yard, was a 10 ft black inflated cat, that had motion sensors apparently. Because as we approached, it was still, but as we passed by, the head started turning and following our movement. Kell became unglued, he was sure that giant cat was coming after us. Have you ever seen a Basenji try to walk backwards? He wanted to get away fast, but did not want to take his eyes off the monster cat. It was hilarious. We finished our walk lots faster than normal. Dawn

  • My brave dogs get spooked by a blowing leaf, or rustling garbage bag. I'll bet Kell was funny to watch!

  • My girls would have totally freaked out about that cat! Poor Kell - must have been a funny scene.

  • Haha, we are doing the scarecrow gauntlet here. When you throw in the odd bulldog statue across the street, it can be quite a stroll.

    Simon thinks stuff like that is BIZARRE, and bizarre means scary :)

  • It would have been great to have a camera or video camera. I wish I could have seen that - it must have been hilarious. I hope you didn't laugh too loud though - you don't want to embarrass your little man. I can just imagine what Kell was thinking when he encountered that cat. Maybe you have found a way for all basenjis to learn to respect cats! :)

  • Our neighbors put out a herd of those twinkly mechanical deer at Christmas. They bend down to take a "bite" then raise up, turn their heads and look right at you. Abbey freaks!! We have to change our route from Thanksgiving to the middle of January!!!

  • I managed not to laugh while it was happening but broke up when I told Duane about it.

    @tsjoe007: What you can try in these conditions is to rev up the sensitivity of the camera (you remember, the ASA thing ;) ) for instance from 200 or 400 ASA to 1600 or even 3200. But beware ! The "noise" will rise too so if you want to print the photos on a format greater than A4 the noise will be very prominent so you have to compare the pro's and con's. Again, practice, practise, practise. Better take 50 pictures than to wait for the right moment to shoot. That's the benefit of shooting digital !;) I don't like to high ISO's, because of the noice.. especially not if you can put another lens on your cam. Professional photographers not only have more experience.. they also have more money to spend on lenses…. that's another BIG advantage.. Better filters.. better feeling for composition.. better photoshop programmes.. etc ;)
