Basenji Talk
  • Does your B ever try and share their bone or treats with you? Cali is always bringing one of her meaty bones up to me as if she wants to share. She jumps on me and nudges the bone toward my mouth and I pretend like I am taking a few bites and then I give it back to her:) I think it is so funny when she does this, but so generous. She does it everytime she gets a bone until she finishes it, constantly bringing it back to me so I can have a bite:) . Of course she takes the first bite and then she wants to share with me. Sometimes it will take her a couple of days to finish a bone because she is always hiding them. I will usually only let her have 1-2(meaty) bones a week as a treat. I always end up finding some remnants of a bone or pig snout in some corner or obscure place that she has hidden it when I am cleaning house.

    No, Jazzy doesn't share with anyone.

    I'm usually the lucky one to find a hoof or snout walking in my bare feet…....ouch!:mad:

    You must have a very secure Basenji.

  • Tlbuddy-I think that is so funny :D maybe she thinks you're one of her pups so she tries to feed LOL!! j/k I think that is so cute.

  • I think it's so sweet! Nala used to bring all of her chew toys and chew them on me…yuck! I was always all slimy...She outgreww it, but I kind of miss it hearing about Cali's sharing!

  • I wouldnt be surprised if she didnt think I was one of her young ones! After all she thinks she is the Queen of the House. She can be really sweet when she wants to be, but then there are those times…..:eek: All I can say is Whoa!!!She challenges me more mentally than any other dog that I have ever had. I never know what to expect, but I wouldn't trade her for any other dog.:)

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    Ella does not dry us off, but she will go after any other wet dog. When we are walking near a creek with our Labrador friends she will crouch on the edge of the stream, torn between excitement and fear. But when a wet dog emerges from the creek, she will excitedly chase and nip and lick them.

    I've had two different people mistake Piper for a boston terrier. Both were walking bostons and came running over to play with my boston puppy then didn't want to believe me when I told them she was a basenji. But I can't blame them because Piper thought their dogs were basenjis. She got so excited when she saw them coming just like she does whenever she meets another basenji. Unfortunately she found out that while they were nice dogs they just were not as fun as basenjis.:)

    A favorite of mine is to wait till I sit down in the chair with my laptop and then try to curl up on my lap….
