  • Adorable puppy :cool: , must keep you busy all week end :rolleyes:

  • How adorable I love the black on the tail!

  • I have had to come back over and over to see these pics again! He is just so adorable and you can already see he is going to be just awesome!

    I know you are having fun with him even as you go through those early puppy stages!

    Enjoy

  • Makes me want another one!!!

  • @abby_basenji:

    Tri factor puppy!;)

  • OMG OMG!!! WHAT AN ADORABLE LITTLE PUP :) :) :)

    I almost cried when I saw the bath pics…he looks so helpless. Too cute! Have fun with him.

    Sending lots of hearts from TOPAZ & C3

  • I think BDawg said it best, STOP–--I want one!!! Seriously, I love living my life through you...he is adorable...the bath pictures, the snuggly ones...I couldn't possibly decide which is my favorite photo. Keep posting so I can make a decision...or not have to!!! He is truly adorable...

  • :D :D Just ADORABLE! All those wrinkles and puppy breath and wiggles and….

    ...Don't tell my DH what I'm contemplating:eek:

    I'll get past it in a day or two. :rolleyes:

  • Wow…what a weekend it was. You never realize how much sleep you need until it is gone! This little guy has a set of lungs on him like you wouldn't believe! :eek:
    Every 2 hours I need to take him outside during the middle of the night. How he can sleep on my lap for 4+ hours but when you put him in his crate he can only hold it 2. :mad:
    Pottytraining has been a real challenge. Alex takes him outside for 30 minutes and nothing....but as soon as he comes back inside...potty everywhere! :confused:
    He sure can run though. I take him outside and he just loves to sprint...Maybee Lure Coursing in his blood???

    I've noticed though that when he sleeps he shakes. Is this puppy dreams? Our last puppy who became ill used to shake but we later found out that he was having seizures. I don't really know the difference. Maybee it is the concerned parent in me. Is this normal?
    Someone once told me to NEVER wake a Basenji while sleeping. I wake Chance all the time because if I didin't he would sleep all afternoon and then keep me awake all night.

    Now lets talk about puppy breath. One word...Pee-Yeeewww! It smells like garlic and poo. So strong too! :rolleyes: Not to mention this little guy loves to give kisses. That breath could make anyone run but that face! I can't resist the kisses.

    No Baroo yet but I think it's coming. He gets really excited when we play and I think one of these days it will come out.

    I have to say...the little one is great even with my lack of sleep. I'll post some more pics soon.

  • Enjoy that puppy breath….....that's funny.

    I'm positive you're enjoying every minute........I'm really happy for you and he is so cute.

    I watch some of ours do some weird stuff when sleeping, shaking, running, even some sounds trying to come out.........dreams????? Who knows?

    That first little Baroo will be so special.;)

  • If he is shaking when he is sleeping, are you sure he isn't cold? Remember that when he was cold with his littermates he could just snuggle up closer to them for warmth.

    As for the potty training don't give up. Make sure you praise him when he goes outside. He needs to know when he is doing the right thing.

    The screaming every 2 hours is probably because he doesn't really want to be in the crate so he screams so he can get out. With mine, I carry them out into the backyard to their business at night and then carry them back in so they don't think of it as a "play time".

    Oohh I'll give that a try. He does think it's play time and will start to romp arond the living room tripping all over his feet at 4 am :D

    Thanks Lisa!

  • Makes me want a puppy SOOO bad.

  • He is adoreable! Makes me want another too… but the more you describe your adventures the more sensible I become. Good luck and keep those pics coming!

  • Chance looks just like my Diego, and what a lucky mamma you are. Enjoy every moment of that beautiful pup.

    I agree, I want 2 more (but my husband may not be to happy). Keep the pics coming they are GREAT.

    I bet its great living on a ship Buana. Your 3 Dogs are beautiful. Our Basenji in his later years liked to wear a jumper at night, be covered with a fleece balnket and lay on top of a hot water bottle. He was just like me as i can't stand to be cold. Summer has gone in the UK too, it's rainy , rainy, rainy :(

    @cleopatra: I have to say that the one thing my Basenji has taught me is to pick up after myself!:D Amen to that… that is what I always tell prospective Basenji owners... if nothing else you will learn if it is important you will not leave it laying around!
