Basenji Sitter Available :)

Basenji Talk
  • I am in Oklahoma and have recently gotten into a new home with a LARGE fenced yard :) (Anubis loves it). Im more than happy to Basenji Sit for anyone who needs a sitter that lives in OK. I have lotsa room to run and plenty of nice walking places. (I live next to Lake Ellsworth). Feel free to PM me or reply to this post if you need a Basenji Sitter :) Im sure Anubis would love another B to play with for a few days. I am also Self Employed so I am here all day so there's PLENTY of play time and PLENTY of outside time as well :)

  • What a nice offer. I wish I had someone closer to my place to take Wheat a few days a week so she could run.

  • Yeah if you lived closer Id totally watch Wheat while you were at work or something. My yard is very large and totally secure so they are safe and can play and run.

  • How close are you to Edmonds?

  • Im maybe an hr and a half away from Edmond. I live just outside of Lawton. Call me if you're interested. Five Eight Oh - Nine One Seven - Five Three Eight Eight it is my cell.

  • If it was me Distance wouldnt matter if it was a responsible sitter :-) My Anubis is very spoiled and well cared for. I have a lab mix puppy he has fun with too. She's 6mo. Im work at home so I am here all the time. My babies come in when it's too warm out…when they are out there's shade and lotsa cold clean water to drink.

  • I will send my bro your number… not sure what they have planned for the summer, but they have a 10yo retired dual champion that spends her days lounging the house and may need a sitter if they travel in the summer.

  • That works! Feel free to send them my number. She'd be very well cared for here :-)

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    I doubt it would work but we are about 4 hours away in Snowmass and would consider it if there is any way you could make the trip here. We are from Michigan and are planning a trip to Detroit in October and are working on figuring out a dog sitter for that trip. We have a one-year female. It would be great to trade-out but I think are we are probably too far away from each other.

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
