    Ive just gotta share!

    The other half uploaded a video of Hope to his Youtube account.. She found herself a rhino beetle. Not to worry we put the beetle back in the tree poor beetle would have been exhausted if the OH was at work and she was by herself lol she makes me laugh and i really enjoyed seeing her and it brightened my morning so i thought i would share:

    Aweee what a cutie. I agree with Tlish about being grateful to live somewhere free of bugs that big. I seriously believe all Australians are superhumans for not shrieking every time they encounter a bug like that. How on earth did you get it back into the tree??

    hahaha this post made me laugh :D we get it back to the tree by picking it up and putting it there lol we used to play with them when we were little kids, make them hiss and stick them on each others shirts cos they have good grip. they are tonnes of fun.

    they are a hard shelled beetle and they hiss. As you can see she knows to be cautious of the front of it due to the pincer (but its not that harmful if it was to get her). they are pretty hardy little beetles.

    Great video! Really funny to see how she moves her head :D
    I've spend a month in Australia a couple of years ago and if I had to go to the bathroom at night I would run around to put on all the lights first.. Pff.. I hate bugs.. And you've got lots of them…. ;)

    Really funny video – we have june bugs here (about half the size of yours) and Gossy does the same thing - except they don't have the sharp points.

    I love the video!

    It's so funny to me to see videos of other Basenjis and how their mannerisms are so similar to Paco's. Crazy to think that that kind of thing can be inborn and not learned from other Basenjis!

    P.S. Did anybody see the movie "Tangled"? Chris and I think the horse acts like a Basenji often. :P

    Kipawa and I enjoyed that - he had his head resting on the edge of my laptop and watched the whole thing. So, that bug must own his own 1800 sq. foot home? :)

    You must be so delighted to get these pictures, Lish.

    @creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)

    Shaye's MomS
    @sharronhurlbut: Very cute, but the b sure did get dog drool in his back. Shaye also loves playing with the big dogs - if they aren't paying attention to her she annoys them until they chase her, and it's all fun and games from that point - and my b definitely has to be sprayed off before we leave the dogpark, because she usually is coated with dog drool on her head, neck and back. Her favorite two friends are an 18 month old female Rhodesian Rideback named Charlie (a girl) and a 2 year old doberman named Ruthie - sometimes they play together and ignore Shaye, then she tries to break them up and they are a very unevenly matched threesome running after each other. Fun to watch.

    I'm originally from California so that is where we got them. I will have to ask my mom if she knows anything about their breeding. They were both over a year old when they came to us. The male was an escaper. My parents had to add an extention on our 6 ft wall because he would jump it. Even then he found a way to get out. We couldnt figure it out for the longest time how he did it. He had found a window upstairs that didn't latch, he would nose it open get on the roof then jump to the wall and from the wall to the ground. The male in pic is prob just sniffing We were working on that bedroom so there were alot of new scents. I cant recall him ever barooing. The female though was very vocal. After talking to my mom, I don't have any more info. Both dogs were given up by their owners because they became to much for them to handle. Alphy the male was a handful being an escaper, Lady was a great counter surfer. Alphy liked all dogs and people. Lady only liked people. But other than that they were sweet and loving dogs.

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
