• Oh! I meant to mention that when they are walking, Batman's tail double curls. It always looped over but now it's got an extra kink to it. I think he is modeling Nayru's donut. πŸ™‚

  • First Basenji's

    So nice to have someone to cuddle with as the months get colder… even if one has to put up with stinky post-nap breath. πŸ™‚


  • They look so cute and happy together!! And Batman has a very shiny coat! Lovely pics πŸ™‚


  • Batman is excessively shiny, isn't he? πŸ™‚ They both get Missing Link every night. Batty adores Nayru. She will play with him which makes him happy. I got a picture of his tail all coiled up.

    He's always made weird noises when playing but does it more now with Nayru. He does bark (working on curbing that) but prefers vocalizations. I keep calling him Nayru's shadow.


  • Sigh… Arwen not only had I seen this thread but commented. At least I remember the post so my mind isn't completely gone...

    But it is obviously partially gone. Really. Last week I called my gf to confess I had bought my husband a bd gift, I remember thinking "I'll put it here, he won't notice it." Sadly not ONLY could I not recall where "HERE" was, but not what I bought. I actually looked in the fridge, freezers, all over. I finally found it when looking for something else, but it's really disturbing. Anyway, lovely pics πŸ™‚


  • LOL. Debra, I thought I was losing MY mind because I thought you'd said something here. Grin. She's my beauty alright.


  • Just a quick update on Miss Nayru. Finally did the monthly strip test (kept forgetting to grab a strip). She's negative at this point. I'll be doing a DNA on her as soon as I get $65 ahead. It's important to me. My neighbors are probably going to video and YouTube me trying to get her to pee while I chase her moving butt with a test strip though. LOL

    She's settling in beautifully. I can't remember not having her warm butt crowding me over the edge of the bed. πŸ™‚ It's like I've always had to hang off the edge.

    She and Batman do very well as well. They have their moments where Batman is a 6 month old obnoxious brat and Nayru had to pull out her impression of a snarking 5th grade math teacher. She takes Batty to school and he subsides–for that fifteen minutes. She will play with him when she's ready though. He just has to learn to respect her down times.


  • It's good to hear how Miss Nayru and Batman are doing.
    If you think about it you spend life hanging off the edge when you have a Basenji πŸ˜ƒ

    Good point! πŸ™‚


  • Good to have moer news of Miss Nayru and Batman. They obviously have the measure of each other now.


  • Short tale of a tortured B.

    I was in the shower. N and B were running the apartment and playing. All of a sudden I hear N screaming. I mean in only the way a Basenji can scream. I nearly kill myself getting out of the shower. Wrapped in a towel with cream rinse dripping in my eye, I race to my bedroom.

    Nayru is on my bed with one back leg in the air. I think she's broken her toe, her leg, her entire body. Panicked, I hugged her to me.

    Then I saw it.

    It was awful.

    It was hideous.

    It was a horrific nightmare.

    Seems some little Basenji had been trying to mess with the blinds and the blind cord had gotten caught around her back foot. Not tied. Not tight even. Just looped right above the ankle where it wouldn't slide off easily.

    :|

    I removed the offending Basenji-eating cord. She nearly climbed my head she was so happy to be free. Batman then bit her on the butt and they ran off down the hall.

    I love dogs. I really really do. I didn't laugh until I was back in the shower. Do I get a gold star?


  • What a funny story! Yes, you get two shiny stars! πŸ™‚


  • :D:D:D I can just imagine it


  • She keeps me entertained. Between Batman and Nayru and FlynnKitty, I almost always have a smile on my face…

    Right after that "NO" or "DROP IT" or "DON'T CLAW THAT". πŸ˜ƒ


  • ha! love it!


  • Just a silly video of Nayru and Batman. Make sure your sound is down. I think I’m a bit loud in this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Zx0cPSt5U


  • LOL, my sound is way down always and I could hear you and your southern accent just fine πŸ™‚

    I love the wagging donuts!


  • Yep, I had the camera right at my face and was doing my DOGGIE voice. I sound like a dork. LOL


  • Not "a boring video" at all - they are the cutest pair!


  • Just an update to let you know that Nayru and Batman are still as silly as ever. We've added a kitten to the mix. Boy howdy, was that ever challenging. Miss Nayru, who never showed ANY prey drive towards my rock-solid dog-proof 14 yr old Maine Coon, was HIGHLY interested in the fast moving, tiny orange thing. We had about 6 weeks of separation then 2 weeks of highly supervised visitation and then a month of 'okay you two play nice now'. But Vinegar now knows not to run and Nayru now knows that the small fuzzy orange thing has incredibly sharp pointy things on her feet. I have caught them sleeping together. Currently I'm fostering a B.R.A.T boy named Toby. He's reminding me why I like adopting older dogs. πŸ˜ƒ
