Can/Us border

Basenji Talk

  • My friend Sue and I were going to see another friend who lives in NY. (We live in Can) We had our dogs in the crates, all our papers, etc. They were taking about 5 min each car doing thorough checks on everyone (must have been work to order day). Our turn came up-usual ?'s.

    Where do you live? Where you going? and then the stupidest ?'s. Where did you meet your friend?? I looked at Sue with this perplexed look and turned back to MR. Border Guard sitting in his chair lounging and said, We met her doing dog shows! He sits up in his chair and says, "Dogs? What kind of dogs?" "Can I see?" And proceeds to oggle, and sweet talk the dogs, completely forgetting about us. After a few min of listening to his baby talk he simply says to go ahead! Sometimes it just pays to have dogs in crates!!

    @TikaLynn: I think Basenji's just are very alert dogs, and at night there is a lot of "activity" outside we may not see, but they do! I think that's a big part of it. As they say, "ignorance is bliss". Basenjis are certainly not ignorant when it comes to their surroundings. I noticed Kananga always has his ears back when we're outside at night, or certain times during the day. He can sense something and it makes me nervous at times. :o But this is what makes them great hunters and generally great at surviving out in the open. They are smart, and with that comes anxiety since they are aware.

    I get the Basenji Calendar every year too. I noticed some of the dogs are the same one's from last years just in a different pose. They could at least take pics of some new dogs.

    Mine have cruddy teeth too… and it could be the hard, hard water... or in the case of OJ it is genetic as all the dogs from his Dam have terrible teeth... and he would always have extractions and so to the point that they just fell out by themselves.... By the way, I tried the oxyfresh... no real help.... And OJ too, after a teeth cleaning, he was like a baby pup again, which told me that his teeth were bothering him....
