    He is so cute. His coloring really is beautiful and obviously he is very smart - digging a cool hole to lie in is one of those things that just makes all the sense in the world!

    Lovely pictures - Maya is obviously glad to have Deedee back. You're not the only ones with deep snow, Scott, here we're snowed in yet again! (we're not a million miles away from Jess either) All the Basenjis (including Jewel(16+) are enjoying it but not so sure about us - clambering up and down hills searching for missing sheep is not much fun!!! Our BC (Fern) our sort of sheep dog is more interested in playing chase and catch the snowflakes so we're on our own!!!

    @Kipawa: Jess, I don't think Maya has a problem with weight, either light or too heavy. She looks very good. As long as you know she is eating wel, is healthy and is exercising, don't be too concerned. I realize their IS a standard for the basenji, but they are living beings that can't always match up to a picture in a book. She is a very, very good eater. She LOVES her food and its often more of a problem to keep her weight down as she will steal anything she can get hold of :rolleyes: Since having a basenji I have learned that they are worse thievess even than labradors!! :eek: I was defrosting a chicken last week and noticed it had disappeared from the kitchen worktop.. where do i find it? Outside with Maya and she'd eaten about half of it :rolleyes: She is a pig!! I walk her for about 2 hours a day now, most of which is offlead running (we walk to the horses fields and back each evening so she spends a good hour running around the fields and woods and farmland!) so she has quite a lot of exercise compared to some im sure, but if she didnt have that she would be a little porker cos she eats a lot :p But at the same time, cos she has so much time running around burning calories I do need to make sure her food intake is high enough. She is definately the highest energy dog i've ever had :eek:

    @Patty: I especially love the pictures with Poppy - Maya looks as though she is trying to let her know who is boss! Oh, no not at all! :D She was trying to get her to play, but everytime Maya bopped her on the head Poppy screamed at her and Maya ran away :rolleyes: She is probably one of the least "bossy" of my dogs but is definately the most playful and thinks that everyone wants to play with her, which in this case they didnt.. Poor Poppy!
