Malaika and Kwame update


  • Malaika is now 16 months old and Kwame 16 weeks, here's a little update.
    Malaika is now working for her Gold award and is a very beautiful Princess Basenji :D
    Kwame has just started Puppy foundation classes and has got off to a promising start.
    We are finding it very interesting to compare the two and watch their interactions with each other. Not sure at this point whose going to be boss.
    In class, Kwame is a bit calmer to handle than Malaika was at the same age and seems as if he'l be easier to train on the lead.
    Malaika is more laid back about food, Kwame is obsessive about it and we will need to work on his resourse guarding food around Malaika.
    They both get on realy well together, getting into mischief around the house etc. Malaika can be a terrible torment, especialy when Kwame is tired and won't play. She waits untill he's going to sleep and then comes over and gives him a good hard jab with her paw :eek: . Needless to say it's not well recieved.
    They do love each other, realy

    ;) The Cat in the first picture is an ornament, it's a winstanley cat with specialy made glass eyes, they appear to look at you wherever you are in the room.


  • Thanks for the update Shelley. Kwame is getting quite the young man. It's so nice to see them sharing!

    I've already replaced one set of bedsheets due to the digging. I swear he does it as soon as I leave the room, I'll hear him start digging, then he gets demoted to the couch (I guess this isn't really punishment…).

    @Mantis: How old is she? Tell us more about her. She is so cute! When we got her (late Oct 2006) the vet thought she was 9-12 mos based on teeth. Over the months she has been getting more spots on her belly. Dont know if that gives any sign of age or not. She seems smaller than some of the Basenjis on this site. She is very thin and muscular. Is there a difference between sizes Male vs females? Could she have been a runt?
