    I love the biker outfit and the goggles! That is hilarious! Thanks for sharing!


  • AWESOME! OUTSTANDING! WICKED COOL! LOVE IT! LOVE IT A LOT!!!!!!!!

    :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: That is just the coolest picture. Thanks for sharing that! I've had many bikes, still have two, so that just sits so well with me. Love it, love it, love it. 0_1604983043856_8b484afb-cdd3-4285-8dad-ce9dc40119e3-image.png


  • You say "no she didn't win"? Oh yes, she definitely WON! Great pic. Thanks for sharing.

    Having said that, I hope you don't ride motorcycles anymore. Everyone we know who has done that has gotten seriously injured. And in no case was it their fault. The last one was a few weeks ago when a drunk driver went across two lanes and took our friend, who was making a left turn, completely. His knee is pulp, his shoulder is toast, and he has broken ribs. He's looking at months of rehab and will never get back to where he was before he accident.


  • My Kembe wore a “biker babe” pleather biker outfit one Halloween - black w/ the chains and red bandanna. We had a “50’s GREASE” theme for the family that year. Right now w/ my basenji experiencing some issues due to her age - your photo reminded me of happier times when Kembe was a young whipper-snapper and much more active - she’s now an old girl but still my baby! Put a smile on my face! Thanks for posting!


  • @donc :`( I'm sorry to hear about your friends tragic turn in life. My prayers are with them, you, and yours.

    I fashioned those bike goggles out of swim goggles - those were in the days before you could actually buy goggles for a dog. She wore them quite well; lost a pair in NB, made up another pair in NS.

    She was my first Basenji and she passed away at 18. Her goggles are now hanging over the corner of her picture that stands on a dresser.

    No I don't ride anymore, but I sure would if I could, and I know a lot of people who still do. I am so sorry about your friend, but not everyone who rides dies or is seriously injured.

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    We bought a dremel to do his nails and he absoutely hates it. I let him look, snif and move it while it was not off and he just backs up. I turned it on and he ran away. So we will us the dog clippers for his nails, those seem to be working.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.
  • Not a basenji, but…

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    Definitely jealous! I used to live in Idaho, b.b., and really miss it. Nothing around here where I would feel okay about letting EL D run free.
