Scarlett just turned 2!!!

    My little angel, Miss Scarlett O'Hara turned 2 on Februray 15. She got a brand new harness (I found a really good brand, LUPINE, that is completely covered in case anything happens to the harness, even if she eats it like she tends to do with everything!), a small party with my old roommates american dingo who turns 2 next week, and a bunch of new chew toys. Unfortunately my camera bit the dust before I could get the pictures on here and of course they can't replace it:( . She had a great birthday and she loves her new toys!:D

    Happy Birthday Scarlett!

    Sounds like she had a good time with her American Dingo friend. I bet she loves all of her new toys.

    Sorry to hear about your camera, maybe you can take some "after party" pictures of her with her new harness once you get a new one.

    I love the Lupine collars, I just gave up on them for Zahra because Chase kept eating them off her neck and I had to keep replacing them. I do still have one for Chase with the cross bones and dog paw and DH bought him one that reminds me of green ivy.

    Scarlett thanks you all for the birthday wishes. She loves her harness. We are currently using those awful disposable cameras so hopefully i will be able to get some post birthday pictures up soon. She looks so great in her purple harness, but she rarely gets to go out in just the harness lately casue it has been unusually cold for this area the last few weeks, so she gets to wear her football hoodie. This week had been great for her though the local schools are out and that means lots of playmates for her in the apartment complex. Most of the kids come by and play with her if she's out…. she loves it and i know it makes my life easier especially since I was just diagnosed with the flu :( .

    Just like us humans, dogs do not like every dog they meet. Especially in tight spaces it can get a bit growly at times, so I always look for enough space for all dogs involved to move freely and express their body language. Being and staying calm yourself will also help a lot.

    @Knipper: That's cute! Cricket does not subscribe to the slow stealthy approach. It's all about as much destruction as possible in the shortest amount of time while I'm indisposed. Everything is done in fast forward! Kalani waits until my back is turned and the second it is he gets into mischief. As soon as I look at him he freezes with the thought of either "if I don't move he can't see me" or "what, I wasn't doing anything". I'm not sure which, but it is one of them.

    Okay, that is interesting. An 'aloof' owner and 2 outgoing dogs - go figure.

    @PhocoenaGirl: Jazzysmom, your Keoki looks exactly like my guy. I think Beegin (and Keoki too) look thicker and broader than some of the other b's I've seen on this site. I don't know what that is called in breeder terms. Is there some kind of scale that you measure for that??? Not that your b's don't look super cute though regardless of height. I love the pic where Keoki is getting measured and Jazz is trying to squeeze in behind and get attention too:D That is just body type (thicker and/or broader)… there is no measurement for that... some B's are just heavier boned then others... that is why it is difficult to just go by lbs for weight.... For looking at a dog for proper weight, you should be able to see a "waist" which is from the end of the ribcage to the beginning of the hip... You should be able to easier feel your dogs ribs and when running you should be able to see a slight the rib outline... Note on this picture of Crystal you can see the "waist" and a nice tuck up [image: crystal_hayward.jpg]

    @jys1011: It's really sad that people can be so ignorant & generalize characteristics over an entire breed…:mad: That being said...can you imagine how owners of pits, rotties, or dobermans feel. I'm sure they get ostracized all the time for having their dogs. However, there is no need for people to be down right rude! If they want to stereotype that's their business but show a little RESPECT & above all some MANNERS! YUCK! I would have purposely said something obnoxious (Oh please lady...I only feed my dog "quality" ingredients lol :D ) but that's just ME :D I can be pretty sarcastic when people offend me on purpose. And nasty remarks against my precious pooches...oooh god help those people!! Ha, ha…love the comment. I have heard comments like the one the OP was faced with...just not that many in one day :( I do feel that more and more dog people are realizing that Basenjis aren't nasty...they are different. But it does baffle me when people need to say such rude things outloud. Maybe we don't have that kind of folks around where we course because Dr.Tracy would kick their tushies! ;)
