Sunny's First Snow

Basenji Talk
  • 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!

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.
  • 2 B's or NOT 2 B's…. That is the question!!!!

    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…

    @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.

    I have to agree with Andrea, it scared the crap out of us too. Mick is not a vocal boy but when he does Baroo I wish he would do it again. It's so sweet.
