  • a cute one, though!

  • Just wait till he gets bigger, then the "terror" will really begin! A darling one though.

  • Sweet face… for now! :)

  • So cute. Welcome!

  • Very good looking B, will be striking as an adult.

  • He is beautiful Please post more photos!

  • Way too cute to be a terrorist!:)

  • So cute..I love his precious face.

  • Very cute… Who did you get him from? Many of us are related by our Basenjis

  • Welcome and what a sweet little baby. Well as they say you have not seen anything yet. Enjoy and have fun.

  • They are all terrorists in their own sweet way - you ain't seen nuthin' yet! Have patience, you'll need it! The love will just come naturally - can't help yourself. He's darling, by the way.

  • Yes, and these basenji terrorists also 'work' at night.

    Last night my husband woke me up because Kipawa had been working at a small hole in our bedsheets. Well, he made it a big hole, stuck his head through it, and then decided he didn't like his head in there. He was making a real ruckus until I got him out of the hole, which he could have actually done himself. I guess he wanted to wake up the entire place and get a little attention. :)

    Now that's a funny story, but somehow we can all relate to it. Exactly why Kananga has his own "bed sheet" to sleep in at night, which he has done a nice job at altering to his likings. :D

  • Night before last hubby and I were watching TV and noticed we had not seen Shaye, who generally makes herself well known at all times. I went into the bedroom and found she had chewed a small hole in our comforter, and had white stuffing all over the bedroom and sticking up out of the hole. Standing there with a fluff of stuffing hanging off her bottom lip, her glance clearly said "What? I didn't do anything!!" Then she sat across from me on the bed while I sewed up her hole, probably figuring out if she was going to have much trouble picking it apart again! Grrrrrrrrr.

  • Gambit got some time out last night when she decided to try to chew the drywall in our hallway, no idea why, other than it was there.

  • Dexter has been chewing on a "very nice Asian blanket" that was given to me as a gift, and needless to say I was upset to see that he had made two holes in it despite me fussing him when I notice him chewing on it. However, upon examining the holes more closely, I have seen that the inner layer of the blanket appears to just be a child's quilt…that someone sewed an Asian themed layer of materiel over. It seems Dex was just trying to show me that it was a fake- an impostor! I still love the blanket though haha.

    Time to start hiring Basenjis to be part of Quality Control for manufacturers!

    "See, this couch isn't strong enough, he managed to dig right through the fabric!" :D

    I need to buy a new couch soon. :o

    Goodness, ditto on everything you have said! :) Thankfully, our comforter is dark blue paisley, so the sewing I have done blends in really well. How funny, basenjis seem to love that white stuffing. It must be a texture thing. Or just the fact that they can be such little rapscallions!

    Haha! Have you ever been to an Ikea store? They have a display of a chair that is one they have been selling for over 20 years. In the display, they are pommeling the chair with some sort of heavy metal block. Maybe they can have a second display of a basenji chewing at the chair? :)

    You had me confused and then I realized you meant the write up on the other rescue (Okapi)… I like less white also. So I had to go look... wow, coloring reminds me of minpins. :) Cute dog though.
  • Not a basenji, but…

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    @ChaseandZahrasmom: [image: 47b7d831b3127cce855c33e60e9400000026108CYs2jZmzbg] This may be the first and last pictures of Zahra kayaking - she hated it AGAIN and kept trying to jump out of the kayak and swim to the shore. Looks like she will be spending time at the Doggie resort or with friends while we go out with Chase (our Puggle who loves the water) [image: 47b7d831b3127cce855c4a01cfe700000026108CYs2jZmzbg] What I love about this photo is that she has this look on her face that makes me think that she is begging DH to save her and take her home. Poor Zahra. :( This trip today confirmed it for me - B's are not water dogs. :rolleyes: ChaseandZarhrasmom, we are taking Dash Canoeing in a couple weeks, where did you get the lifepreserver? Do they just have them at PetSmart?

    Thanks Mark, welcome to the forum. Put your snow shoes on and trek on down to PA.:D Sadly it's not as nice and colorful at Basenji Park this time of year.:( It's a labor of love and I can't wait for the warm weather to return so I can plant more stuff!:eek:
