Oh Cali..

Basenji Talk
  • Cali has been a little depressed since my brother picked up his dog(Lady the Boxer) yesterday. Lady had been staying with us for 3 wks while my brother was out of town. I guess Cali really got use to having the companionship even though Cali picked fights with Lady constantly:) I have actually been considering rescueing another Basenji for a companion, but not until the first of the year (I must be crazy). No, actually I love this breed and my next dog will definitely be a Basenji.
    Anyway, I was at home very ill today with a bad flare up of my Colitis. I was in a lot of pain and at one point was laying on the bathroom floor. Well Cali tried to comfort me and was licking all over me and trying to get me off the floor. She even kept bringing toys to the bathroom so I could play with her. She can be so sweet sometimes. Even though I was in a lot of pain I did manage to laugh a little due to all of her antics to make me fill better. Anyway, while I was trying to get myself up off the floor Cali walks into the bathroom with a new pair of jeans that I purchased a couple of days ago. She got them out of the laundry room. I guess this was her way of telling me that if I didnt get up she was going to destroy my jeans:eek: She never fails to amaze me and has been pretty good today considering that I have been under the weather. She even took a nap with me.
    How do your Baenjis act when you are sick or upset? They are very intuitive.

  • Rocket does the same thing when I'm sick, he watches me all day and never leaves my side. Of course I'm in bed all day which is where every B prefers to be!!

    Check out Spring Willow Kennels! That's where we got our Basenji, Remus, from Laurie and she was great. She's not far from Cleveland!

    I understand about the Science Diet - all my Basenjis have hated it! We use Eukanuba Lamb and Rice or Kirkland Lamb and Rice from Costco mixed with a little warm water and a tablespoon or so of Pedigree canned. (of course, they also get a little Red Barn rolled, green beans if I'm trying to get them to lose weight, left-over bait from the dog shows… no, ours aren't spoiled either!) Only get the Pedigree canned puppy or the CHOPPED dinners (not the chunk) as those are the only ones without wheat. Lots of Basenjis are sensitive to wheat. My daughter feeds Purina One Lamb and Rice. A plate or pie tin might work for her. Sometimes they just get notions!!! One of my girls won't eat if her dish isn't in the right place on the mat. Terry
