Sunny's First Snow

Basenji Talk
  • YodelMaY

    Sunny had his first experience with the properties of snow today!
    I opened the back door, and as usual, Ben & Sunny exploded onto Level 1 of the back deck with their usual "NO PRISONERS!" enthusiasm. They ignored the stairs and sailed off the top of the hot tub. Ben landed nimbly on deck Level 2 with the finesse of a figure skater. Sunny, not so much. He crash landed in a tangle of coltish legs, slithered 5 feet on his butt and took out Ben (oof!) Whereupon both dogs slid off the lower deck in slow motion, disappearing from site into a snowbank. Winter 1, Sunny 0.

    Kamar also experienced his first snow today. He was very busy chasing snow flakes, and didn't want to get back inside, as the matter of fact, he got out of his collar on our morning walk. :o

    I love to see Basenjis playing in snow. They're just like small children!

    LOL, we never get enough snow here to be more than a nuisance. With Cara's utter hatred of wet feet, she doesn't care for it but it didn't bother her. I'd love to see her in REAL snow. You need pictures, please.

    I'm really hoping for snow here this year. Last year we did have some, and Kipawa was very excited about it. :) Besides, there is something so special about snow around Christmas.

    Please post pics. Love to see Bs enjoying the snow!

    We had some snow last year. Having spent almost all of his life in sunny Southern California, Spencer was not impressed. Not one little bit!

    There's something invigorating about cold snow on little basenji toesies! My Abbey loved all the snow we had last winter (unusual for us) but she was terrified of the neighbors' snow man!!

    Paco sounds like a well mannered boy :) Malaika doesn't ask, she just dives in and when Reuben snaps and chases she just comes bouncing right back for more. I can see we will have to work realy hard with her. Coincidentaly my parents have just been with Reuben (Papillon) and there was a bit of improvement although she's still to rough.

    What great news - she is obviously settling well. Although Basenjis have often been house trained before leaving the breeder they do sometimes regress in a new home and I'm sure you'll find Malaika very clean.

    @MacPack: They are all probably teething! And the best things for teething are phones, glasses, purses…well, you get the idea. What excuse can I use for my 11 year old who still takes my wallet out of my purse (dumb human, left it on the table again) and eats it? My B is over a year old now. I got him when he was just under 8 months old. He behaved best while he was still a puppy. Seems backwards. For some reason I believe he's starting to develop more of a separation anxiety. Which seems odd because he has always been fine before. Nothing changed.

    What's your B's name?

    Our Sally Loves it. She runs around like a chicken with her head cut off. It really is cute! She even rides the snow-mobile, or sled with the boys.
