Basenji New Year's Resolutions

Basenji Talk
  • I was thinking the same thing as Basenji Boy! It might not be the Happiest of New Years, if that wasn't in the plan!
    Great resolutions…my face is hurting from laughing so loud!

  • My face too is hurting!!!! Hey tlbuddy…at least it was in the wrapper and not used!!! Joey is famous for dragging used, you know whats, about the house with or without guests present!

  • Here's one for ya…
    I promise not to dig through the dirty hamper and pull out only your expensive underwear and shred them to little pieces.

    I promise not to dig through the dirty hamper and pull out only your expensive underwear and shred them to little pieces.

    I now keep my hamper WAY out of reach!

    Squiggy promises also to not eat any of my retainers anymore. A $200 dog treat that was not funny.

  • My hamper is in the closet and I ALWAYS have to keep it closed… I learned from my first B... if you value your undergarments and personal dignity you'll put all trash cans and hampers in a closet or behind a closed door if you don't like them displayed all about the house...

  • 1.) I will not eat the power cord to the computer
    2.) I will not eat the power cord to the computer
    3.) I will not eat the power cord to the computer
    4.) I will stop tricking Mom into thinking that I am still asleep, letting her let me sleep while she takes a shower and then I wake up and pee on the bed
    5.) Oh, did I mention that I will not eat the power cord to the computer so that Mom can still e-mail / communicate with Dad who is deployed and so she can also chat on the Basenji Forum about me?
    6.) I will try to "stay", and work on "down" for my training class even though I am the Princess and I bow and answer to no one.

    Love,
    Zahra

  • Has Zahra been comparing resolutions with C3??? :)

    C3
    1)I will not eat the power cord to the sandwich maker (this is Dad's favorite toy & his only means of preparing food when mom's not around)…I will NOT eat the cord to the sandwich maker.
    2)I will not eat the power cord to the computer camera (this is the only way mom & dad can watch us from work).
    3)I will not eat the pretty x-mas cards on the wall.
    4)I will not act like a termite & eat mom's tables & chairs
    4)I will not pull like on my walks with mom like I'm Santa's ex-reindeer :)

    Topaz

    1. I will pretend I'm a DOG even tho I know I'm a cat
    2. I will pretend to LIKE to go outside altho like most cats I prefer the indoors
    3. I will pretend to LIKE to play altho like most cats I prefer to sleep
    4. I will not act like a termite & eat mom's tables & chairs (even tho C3 makes me do it :) )

    C3 & Topaz!

  • LOL regarding Topaz and his resolutions. Ditto for Joey except #4, but, SHHHHHHHHHHH, don't let Joey in on that one please!!! I will replace that with 4) I will pretend to LIKE to take baths even tho most cats don't care for them.

  • LOL at these resolutions!!!
    Stormie would like to add:
    1. I will not eat cat litter crunchies and then try to give the hooMom a smooch.
    2. I will try hard not to pounce the cats.
    3. I will not take the hooMom on any more "mud slides" - this puts her in a grumpy mood for some reason! :D
    4. I will not roll in any more deer/duck/rabbit droppings (or eat them either) - Ok, so I'm fibbing here! ;)
    5. I will not go gremlin hunting in the sofa anymore - this makes hooMom shreik when she finds the holes in the cushions!
    6. I will not counter surf for hooman vittles anymore - OK, I'm fibbing again! :)

  • @Lenora:

    As some of you may know, Abbey turned the Big 3 on Christmas Day. She has made a few resolutions for 2007 which I think reflect her new maturity. (1.) I will not kiss any more kitties even if they are my cousin, because my nose is still sore from last time. (2.) If given a choice between a bath and going out in the rain, I will choose the rain if I have to tinkle really bad, and going out in the rain may actually delay having to get a bath. (3.) I will not get up from a nap when my mom is taking a shower and knock the ironing board over on my head. (4.) This year I resolve to eat healthier. No more bath sponges, bath scrubbies, socks, catalogs, leaves off the airplane plant, or my Santa's nose. (5.) When my mom has Important Visitors I will not excuse myself from the room and return carrying a bra. This causes my mom to make very loud noises which hurt my ears and makes me ashamed of my little joke for nearly a whole minute. Happy New Year from Abbey and Lenora!

    I should probably get my own username on this forum, so I'm not continuing to write about my own undergarments & such under my boyfriend's name…
    My boyfriend's basenji mix loves dirty clothes. Andrew used to have two female roommates, and Bandit would pull their dirty undergarments out, chew the crotches out and leave crotchless panties lieing around in embarassing places. I felt so sorry for them! Another time, he ate the hems off of Andrew's pantlegs. We came home one evening to find something sticking out of Bandit's butt. Upon further investigation, Andrew ended up pulling out two 6" pieces of pant hems from Bandit's rearend.
    Bandit also loved to dig through Andrew's roommates' bathroom garbage & pull out the really nasty items and eat those. Many a small string has been found dangling from his mouth while trash is strewn about the bathroom floor... Yuck!

    Hi Vickayx, First let me say Dolce looks adorable. Her white face only makes her look distinguishd. As far as I can determine the only thing mentioned in Basenji Standards is that white should not predominate for her overall appearance and from what you have written you really dont seem to be planning on showing anyway. Years ago I bred Rodesians to show but as I got older I decided that what I wanted most was a little snuggle bug and went to rescue B's. spacicfically those who had had a hard life before me. We now have 2 four legged children who are always rooing to show how happy they are. Enjoy your new baby and remember to try and not let her know she is smarted.

    We have two cats and two Basenji?s, but the basenji?s grew up with the oldest cat. They live togehter as a family, but the first meeting between Buana (oldest Basenji) and Spaik (oldest cat) was heavy Spaik was so mad at us he went under the bed and didn't show himselfe, when Buana got to close he hit Buana. Cats usually need time to get used to them, for you I think you need to watch them the first weeks constantly. From their behavior you can see how it's goint between them

    I don't have the flu but I am home from work today because I am going to get a shot in my foot to kill a nerve. I am nervous beyond words and Chase and Zahra have been cuddled up with me all morning which really has helped to keep me calm. I wonder if the podiatrist would mind them coming into the office with me for the shot? :D

    I wash my dogs teeth every day. On beginning was hard…they do not like this-however I can this make. Care about teeth is very important-I use paste-STOMAGEL and Petosan.
