What funny ways have your Bs woken you up?

Basenji Talk

  • Figured Id have a lil fun on here :) And im kinda curious some of the funny or annoying ways your B's have ever woken you up in the morning lol.

    This morning I was nice and sound asleep in my bed. Anubis has a bad habit of hitting you with his paw when he wants attention. So here I am asleep and I feel a paw go SMACK right on my face lol. I sat up and go "Anubis what the hell?" and he goes "Barooooooo!" And runs outta my room and started playing with my lab puppy Casey lol. Gotta love our Basenji babies! :p


  • Wheat sticks her cold nose in my ear.


  • Lol Anubis has done that before too. He likes ears for some reason lol


  • Gbala always bashes me in the face but the others sit patiently staring at me and willing me to wake and it works!!


  • Lol yeah Anubis has smashed my face with his foot more than once…and he seems to think its fun cuz he'll baroo or make some kinda happy noise and take off and start the B500 lol

  • First Basenji's

    I have been woken up by… Basenji gas before.

    Yeah. That wasn't pleasant.

    But typically, Bowpi sleeps like a rock. You can shift the entire blanket underneath her and she won't move, she'll just roll around, grunt a little, and go back to sleep.


  • :( Sayblee would lay gently on top of me (she learned young that WALKING on me got her flipped to the floor) and put her nose on my nose. I'd open my eyes to find her staring intently into my eyes.

    Arwen is a poker… poke poke poke poke poke. It isn't a pawing motion, it's a distinct jab. If I ignore, she runs up and down the bed on me, over me, to the door, up my body, down my body. By the time I get up to kill her, might as well get up, lol.

    Cara has done many awful things, like lick my eyelids (ewww), put her foot in my mouth and once flee-bit my freaking chin.


  • @curlytails:

    Hilarious!

    Kipawa is quite good with letting us wake naturally, but on occasion I get a strong, stretched out paw on my chest or neck. I don't see him doing this to Darrel - does he know that Darrel has no feeling from the upper chest down? I wouldn't be surprised - basenjs are so smart!!


  • Scarlett for the most part will not bother me or Sarah in the morning…I get up at 5:30am and Scarlett will barely move until I am ready to take her out. But sometimes she will snuggle up to the side of my face, lay on my chest or stand on me in someway. These are all strategies she uses to keep me from leaving her.


  • On work days I have to wake up Gossy but on weekends she wakes me up by sticking her face right next to mine and giving me that old basenji mind-meld "I will you to wake up".

    Very cute - I'm sure putting that stuff on him helped a lot with the look in his eyes, slightly peeved!

    REI Makes a nice pack for dogs. Indy has one but don't clip your leash to it. If you want one you can clip the leash to try a ruffwear. Additionally…watch the weight, remember that water weighs 4lbs per litre so you want to be careful giving them water. We usually have Indy carry his food, treats, a sweater or jacket, and a toy. And then we carry it when he gets tired. We also always make sure that he SEES the treats come out of the pack so he knows he is working for a reason.

    I've had two different people mistake Piper for a boston terrier. Both were walking bostons and came running over to play with my boston puppy then didn't want to believe me when I told them she was a basenji. But I can't blame them because Piper thought their dogs were basenjis. She got so excited when she saw them coming just like she does whenever she meets another basenji. Unfortunately she found out that while they were nice dogs they just were not as fun as basenjis.:)

    @tasha: I'm fairly new to the world of basenjis. My boy is 3. So this may not mean a thing but I've never heard of 'wild basenjis'. Everything I've read and heard says that they have never been wild and have always been domestic/family/village dogs. My sister-in-law and her parents lived in Africa for quite a few years when she was growing up.(Tanzania and Kenya) They said that there were many wild, mongrel-type dogs that had basenji features in their vicinity.
