Lela and Binti with a pack in the sand

    A 3 hour walk with 10 B's in a wooded, sandy area, 1 hour from Amsterdam.
    We met all sorts, from an Irish wolf hound to the tiniest kaninchen.

  • That looks like a blast, I wish we had something like that in New England, id love to spend the day with a bunch of basenjis and their owners!

  • If I keep looking at your gorgeous photos, I'm going to end up trying to convince my husband to move over there!

    Looks like they had fun. The B owners here in Orlando need to come out of hiding!

  • That's the advantage of living in a small country….

  • I believe Orlando has a climate more suitable to B's - we have a lot of rain and cold over here, so think twice…

  • We get quite a bit of rain during spring and summer; this year in particular was ridiculous in fact. Orlando is mostly hot and humid with some periods where it's cooler, like the cold front we have currently, but I think this winter will actually get pretty chilly (for us). Outside of the rain, it can well suited to B's, though From about June through August most days were ones where Loki didn't want to be outside or couldn't be outside for very long, with the exception being the dog park as there is a lake which he'd go in to cool off.

    And I'm just joking about my husband moving ;) I can't even get him to consider moving cross country to Oregon or Washington so there's no way I'd ever get him across an ocean!

  • Tana, maybe the 'Tampa pack' can do a road trip to your big park. It looks big enough for a long walk. Is the whole park fenced?

  • Lela and Binti certainly had a wonderful day with you and all their friends. Your photos are wonderful!

  • Anne, yep Fleets is fully fenced and definitely big enough for a long walk and some squirrels in the wooded area. You and Don should check out ffpp.org, it's a website run by a group of volunteers for the park we regularly go to and has some good pictures of the park. Also Gemini Springs is quite nice, though it's in DeBary so a bit outside of Orlando, but not too bad. So far we've found one B boy about 1 year older than Loki and another who is 1 week younger who we've had playdates with. The guys who own the younger are getting a second B this season and just got a new neighbor who has 2 B's, and since we'd like a 2nd maybe we'll slowly build our own 'Orlando Pack'. Then we'd just need to get Tampa and Orlando together!

  • LOL on rain.. yeah that would be a deal breaker with Cara. Wonderful pics and videos!

    @Dagodingo said in My pack in upstate NY.: @DebraDownSouth Another thing which seems to be a common trait is the basenji back leg stretch off the couch, I am guessing you have seen this one before too? [image: 1466604677229-image.jpeg] Oh yes, my boy used to do that all the time! Definitely a Basenji favourite. I also have lots of "under the blanket" pix of mine too. I have a throw on one of my couches, and if Perry considered it to be chilly, I would often have no sign of a dog when I returned home, other than that strange hump in the middle of the couch, completely covered up. After a time he would realize I was back and emerge from his cocoon.

    Thank you. We were surprised too, that they were having so much fun in the snow. Not one time did they whine or complain. It was just below freezing with no wind, so pretty comfortable weather. And we didn't go out longer then 90 minutes.

    How cute is that!?! Love the way these dogs sleep in any position they happen to land.

    Good photos. Cairo ran up on a one-eyed black cat yesterday on his evening walk, it must have been a veteran. It run over to us, balled up in the weeds on its back, and prepared for combat. Good thing Basenji reflexes are mongoose-like or my boy would have had a perforated nose.

    Otis haven' helped me pack or unpack yet, but what he does love is doing the B-500 on our bed while I am folding laundry on that very same bed..it just doesn't work, and usually I have to lock myself into our bedroom and do it in secret..but he loves it so oh well, a little crazy is OK..
