Hope has a new B friend!

Basenji Talk
  • Yay for Basenji play!! We had a similar experience when Lewie met his first Basenji buddy- they play together unlike I've ever seen…

  • I totally understand 'squeal'! :)

    How great that Hope will have a basenji playmate. And it's a male too, which will be a great match for Hope. I totally feel your excitement!

  • It's funny how they always know another basenji as "like me!" and play is wonderful. They speak the same body-language and it really shows in interactions. How lucky for you all that you live so close!

  • we are super excited and hope to catch up alot more at the dog park and hopefully become friends :)

    its amazing how they just clicked. battin' each other, he tried to keep up with her - will be awesome when hes older and gets some speed - she'll have someone to give her a run for her money!!

    makes me all ga-ga for another puppy :P but no…. :)

  • new puppy was there again today :) His name is Diodge (dee-oh-gee). he was obsessing with Hope - its like oh hay! … your like me! Hope was like oh i like you play play play ..... wait dogs running... zooom ...off she goes and leaves him behind lol so she finally stops for a number 2 break and the cheeky bugger had been watching her and noticed she stopped so he done a little burnout (b500) and then made his way over and crashed right into her while she was going number 2 - couldnt help but laugh. Now when she doesnt pay attention to him he barges her. Basenjis rock :) cant wait til he keeps up with her. We have another play date hopefully on sunday :)

  • We would love to see some play photos..if you can get them..

    will get photos hopefully tomorrow if they come along to our play :) its just hard grabbing photos when theres a whole big park to play in - why bother the humans while they sit and talk :P he he. but there will be plenty of chances :)

  • stole some piccies from our last couple of play dates. they are so cute together.
    hes growing up super fast. much more mellow then Hope was at that age.

    Hope was crazy, bouncy basenji and hes quiet relaxed and happy to stay put. He does get little cheeky moments that remind me of the start of a b500 :)

    will try and snap some new ones this week.

    p.s. yep, they are lazing around at the dog park. its just gotten summer here the last week and everyone (including us humans) are trying to get used to the muggy humidity again. blergh

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    Nice photos, Jonny was a good boy! He was probably happy to play with another basenji! Glad it all went so well.

    Sahara has pawed my hand if wanting attention, pawed at my face, but smack, never. My cat has smacked me before, is the smack like a cat's? Describe it in more detail please.

    @nomrbddgs: She may always be nasty, or it may be a newcomer thing. I have always had younger B's coming into my home. I've never introduced an older B into my home or an older dog for that matter. Perhaps some of the others have more experience. I know the domesticated dogs (most of them) would get over it, but I'm not sure about a B. I agree…I think it is too soon to tell. She is scared, and hurt, I don't think you can get an accurate assessment at this point. I would keep them separated until she is feeling 100% better, and more comfortable, then go slowly. But let your family know that she may have to go to another home, if the dogs can't work it out.
