Meet Chipley

Basenji Talk

  • Nicky is resting here in her dog bed, ate her dinner and drinking OK. Weak, very little energy, but kissing our hands, able to really relax and rest.


  • Here goes, hope this works.

  • @MacPack:

    Here goes, hope this works.

    What a handsome guy Anne! I love black and whites!


  • Glad to hear that Nicky is home and doing well…

    ...and your new boy is lovely :)


  • We are failed foster parents too! Kell moved into our hearts and never left. So glad he has you!

  • First Basenji's

    The best kind of failure. =) Congrats, and good to hear that things are moving along with the pack. I aspire to be as efficient and as cool a multi-tasker as you seem to be!


  • what a cutie! and he goes with your color scheme


  • Chipley is a great dog - for his first visit to the park last week he did very very well - got along with everybody, even Miss Snarky, and you know who I mean! We all knew this would not be a "foster." Glad to hear Nicky is improving - and that she is accepting of the new boy in the house as well.


  • Good to meet Chipley. I hope Nicky is continuing to improve.


  • Thanks to everyone for the 'welcome' for Chip. Nicky is much improved, almost back to normal.:D


  • I think Chipley is very handsome! It's always hard to get a good photo of a black dog, and he looks so beautiful in yours. Congratulations! And I am very happy to hear that Nicky is improving. Best of luck to you.


  • There is a problem with Chipley: He loves to play/swim in the water at the beach.

    Now I have a wet, sandy dog to wash every night; all our 'water-dog-friends' are laughing at me now, I have been a lazy dog owner with my clean dry basenjis

    Seriously, if I could have designed the perfect adult dog to join our household, it would be Chip.

    Anne..I am so happy to "meet" chipley..he is adorable, sounds like the perfect match with your pack and household..can't wait to see more of him.
    I am also so happy to hear that Nicky is doing better and better every day..jippea.

    Handsome indeed! any idea how old? are those lighter whiskers down his muzzle?? Just curious; and Uzie said he wanted to meet him too! Give Nicky a big kiss for us! Deb PS: is Nicky eating up to par? if she is not on a restricted diet, those Silk Balls should be good. I made a rendition of them (and not as many as the original recipe) for Uzie, just oatmeal and ground chuck though. He mended well and gained his weight back. The only repercussion from the meatballs was that he thought they tasted just as good the 'second time around…' Now I am testing pineapple bits just like an episode from Victoria Stillwell. Supposedly the pineapple acts as a deterrent for the taste. I think it is working....


  • Very handsome boy your a great mom. Great and loving foster care I like your style.

  • Chipley is such a great addition for us! Thanks to everyone for kind welcoming words.

    As for Nicky, she is eating Hills I/D in 4 small feedings a day, I add a little plain rice, or small bits of chicken to add variety and so far she is eating it. (She is allowed plain rice, plain pasta or chicken as treats), hopefully we can resume fairly normal food in a few weeks. She is back to normal, outwardly anyway.

    Helena, yes we are going to keep in touch, i have sent them a link to Sally's site. They couldn't find the paperwork for the dogs but one of the dogs came from a wing commander ? and they remember the name Horsley, another dog came from Liverpool. They belonged to the nbs in the 70's.

    I will admit that catching the basenji does get easier. My boyz (now 14 and 15 years) are much, much easier to catch. ;-) Actually Jet the trying has decided he hates being outside, even if the weather is nice. Except yesterday. He wanted to stay outside so he could eat grass and throw up. It's hard to find nice edible grass in January in Colorado.

    I can leave mine loose in the car as long as there is more than one -the only time I've had damage (which included seat belts!) is when one's been left on their own. I would never leave the car running though and I always leave it in gear (I don't have internal locking either).

    @LiveWWSD: Oh what a good dog Keoki is. Charli and his Golden retreaver friend are like that when they haven't seen eachother in a while. Charlie will yell and scream at her untill she rolls over on her back, then he usualy calms down. Now Mind you I take Charlie out to meet dogs at the park EVERY week at least once. You can never stop socializing terriers or they forget and get mean. You know, I think you may be right. When Duke was a young puppy she did take him to puppy classes and he did fine. In fact, his best buddy at class was another Basenji boy. She said that even have problems now just taking Duke to the vet as he viciously – and let me tell you, he is OUT OF CONTROL. If not for his size, they would be unable to handle him -- growls and snaps at every dog in the waiting room. Short of mailing him to Cesar Milan's {sorry Querc, LOL} center, I have no clue where to advise them to look for help. The dog is very sweet, but very high strung and living with a high strung family. There is no clear leader in the family; the dog is jumping on everyone, etc. and I think that really feeds his behavior when they encounter other dogs. Sucks to be them. My dog was awesome yesterday. :p
