My B loves to go for walks

  • hdterryH

    so much that if we are not walking her as much as she thinks we should she will whine, wag her curled up tail, baroo, trot from my husband to either the back door or the fence gate (depending on if my husband is outside or inside) and if none of these work fast enough for her, she starts to jump up on my husband over and over. She is funny to watch…of course she DOES get her way even if we are too tired :rolleyes: then it is a shorter walk. I realize that Bs enjoying walking and they do need the exercise but sometimes it is hard to get up the energy to take her. Jojo is 11 yrs so it is not like she has to be kept under the rule of thumb that "a tired Basenji is a good Basenji". Of course while on the walk she just HAS to smell EVERYTHING sticking above the ground:eek: ...street sings, mail boxes. bushes, trees, fire hydrants, etc...What a wonderful breed!!!:)

    Q
    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(

    See that is what I am dying to hear. we just got home and he made a really worried sound when we got out in the backyard. Come to find out Luna, our Schnorkie and Otis had been "playing" with one of our younger chicks that keeps flying out of the run…needless to say he was bothered by the fact that A) the chicken was traumatized and B) I was mad...Thankfully the chick is not hurt severly and will be Ok with some loving inside for a few days.

    Cory and Jayden have foam inside a pillowcase on the bottom of their crates. On top of that are dog crate beds that are wrapped in old babycrib sheets. They each have two little baby receiving blankets in the beds so they have something to "rough up" for when they make their beds comfortable at night. Sometimes Jayden gets too enthusiastic and gets all the cushions etc all bunched up in a big mound in his crate and he can't lay down. I have to remove him and completely remake the bed before he can go back in to sleep. Sometimes before he goes in his crate to sleep, he'll stand up and remove Cory's baby blankets from her crate (on top of his)….......just to irritate her at bedtime. And it does irritate her! Pat

    Basenjis are affectionate on their own terms… some are, some are not... you need to remember they are an independent, thinking dog, meaning they are always looking for "What's in it for me". Also, since she is new to your home and already a young adult, it will take time for her to warm up to you and show her true feelings. Many Basenjis do not lick and the ones that do are enough to drive you over the edge.ggg... my oldest girl never licks... never has.... except when wet...
