In the words of Oscar Wilde - - It is better to be beautiful than to be good.

  • First, not sure if you saw my post that I wanted her (then was told it was your pick!). Then my suggestion you could share her. OMG, she should be looking in mirrors!

    However, only Cara is interested in the mirror but she fights, growls and interacts with her image. She used to do it almost daily, now maybe once a week when bored. Perhaps it is because I haven't told her she is "beautiful"… I actually tell her she is houndy with defective ears, lazy eye and slight overbite and that i adore every molecule of her.

    Unfortunately she isn't good, she is a wild child so she is neither beautiful nor good...just utterly beloved.

  • She's gorgeous and has every right to be staring at herself in the mirror. Just remind her that a dose of humble pie is good for one's character. :)

  • Our girl Sidhe gets in my make up chair in front of my makeup mirror, which turns on & off with touch. She taps it for the light to come on and then admires herself. Often she will then jump on the dresser to help herself to the kleenx I keep there. And if feeling in a sharing mood she will drop kleenx down to Kell & Rogue. Who aren't quite up to getting on the dresser.

    That should be the motto of every basenji;):D

    She's a beauty alright!

  • She's rightfully admiring her beautiful self. My Gbala is a mirror gazer but also looks behind to make sure it's not somebody else there!!!

    What's a good Basenji? - I don't know those!

  • suki likes to stand on the bed and look at herself in the mirror, too.

  • @Patty:

    that would be Digital. if you're ever in colorado, i'll introduce you :)

  • My old Isis would gaze at herself in the hall mirror as she walked past, and I caught her more than once lying on the corner of the bed where she could see herself in 2 mirrors…looking back and forth, trying to decide on her 'best side'. She was a funny girl.

  • Our little princess at just barely 3 weeks old was already giving a good, solid B-A-R-O-O ! And letting the world know that she was ready for anything.:)

    Ah well, I doubt he'll be making the trip to England anytime soon. At 14, he doesn't do much travelling. But even when I got him at 10 months, he's never done anything naughty. Well, there was that off course tunnel on an agility trial. I called his name, saw his ear twitch in my direction and ran straight into that tunnel with a big grin on his face. But he's never been distructive with non-dog items. Perhaps I'll hop over the pond one day and bring pics. :)

  • The tunnel used to be a favourite of my Basenjis. One even stopped in the middle and curled round and stayed!!

    I'd love to see pictures. The old ones are rather special aren't they? My oldie, Jewel, never chews non-dog items either and I often call her 'Angel' but actually she's far from that - unless she's sleeping, like now!

    well it's 50/50…there are good moments when they are playing outside with toys and everything in hunky dory, and then like you said Pat WHAM, Mia or Nike (he might only be 8lbs but geez can he lunge lol) will just loos it. I hope it's getting to know you kind of loose it and it will get better, like tomorrow lol...Actually they are doing better than I expected. Just the sleep thing I doubt will ever get better because Mia gets Tazmaniany around us when we try to move her in her sleep.

    The light is mid-morning light from a south window into an otherwise lowly lit room and it just made the indoor background noise disappear into darkness. She is wearing a nice wool sweater my wife made for her, and a purple collar. Jenny has several nice sweaters made by Bridget or myself. She also chewed up even more before we got got the fit snug enough and became habitual about taking it off before crate time. renaultf1, I couldn't be more vaklempt to here that you found my advice useful and easy! It truly saved us during Jenny's early time with us. The 867-5309 is part of her name because we already named our first dog "Black Betty Bam-a-lam" (which is from a early 70's song by the one hit wonder Ramjam) and liked the song title 'theme'. :)
