    I haven't read the whole thread, but I understand a bit about the 'cost' of owning a basenji. It sometimes goes beyond what one might think of as 'normal' dog costs. I lost a lazyboy chair and quite a few clothes to my first fella. My second and current guy, not so much. I spent many dollars on their health; first guy had heartworm when I got him; just got past having a large fatty tumor removed from the leg of my current guy. I haven't been on the forum in a while but what I came on to say was; none of this matters…I had a pretty crappy day of a whole bunch of little things that amount to nothing individually, but taken together - crappy. When all was done and I came home, my boy was happy to see me, played with me, 'listened' to me and made me happy. That is priceless! BTW: Mods, I like the new color scheme, FWIW.

    The problem becomes if you are a meek or hyper person in general, that the dog sees through you and it is very hard to pretend to be something you are not 24/7. This where you can learn from your dog / training and take some of the good for yourself. Being a strong leader, fearless, calm & in control. Who could not use some of these qualities?

    nobarcus wrote you could have one of those reality shows like the Ozzy Osbourne Family only it would be all the craziness the dogs were creating That would be so funny and doopey.. Kanagan wrote He's an extremely picky eater. I cannot motivate him with treats at all. Anyone else with a Basenji like this? Otis will eat anything..except the fish my hubby caught during our trip last week..we took it into his mouth, chewed on it for a few seconds, spit it out and thn tried it again, with the same results..he just could not get himslef to eat it. The dachshund on the other hand devoured it, only to realize too late what he had done, then he had this horrified look on his face..as if he had eaten poison or something..hilarious in my eyes, not so much in Gus' eyes..Otis and Luna thought he was insane for eating the fish..it was even cleaned and filead (sorry about spelling, having a blond, foreign moment and can't think of it..), but nope not edible in their mind..

    Lol…sorry to laugh but I was walking Indy the other day and for some strange reason there was a pair of socks in the middle of the side walk. Needless to say he saw it before I did. He raced up to it grabbed them and was starting his best show dog prance by the time I saw him.
