Meeka's first dog park trip!

Basenji Talk
  • So our local dog park re-opened yesterday since the weather is getting nicer.. there is a huge pond in the middle so it had to close during winter when it was frozen.. so today was meeka's first time going, and she went to chase a duck and dog, who went into the pond.. meeka (typical "i wont go pee in the rain" basenji) and she chased the dog/duck right into the pond!! i couldnt believe me eyes!! she went about 15 feet in to! i dont think she really realized it was a pond and was just chasing the other dog.. but i had to share.. i was just so amazed with what i was seeing!! wish i would have gotten a picture but it all happened too fast!

  • Basenjis will go into water to play, just not to pee or bathe. Glad she had such a good time at the park.

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    Sometimes the best medicine is to be around those you love. Hopefully being with her family will help her continue to heal. Thanks for the update….keep us posted. (Sending healing thoughts to Annie)

    @basenjibratz: It's wonderful seeing a basenji run. They are usually the smallest in the big dog parks but they sure can keep up. When I use to take Talker to a make shift dog park (four enclosed baseball fields) he would run with a border collie. The border collie would always be chasing Talker and the humans were always amazed at his speed and how he was never panting while the border collie would be panting up a storm. It was wonderful to see him stretched out in a full run. Trixie's Daddy should be proud at his girl and so should you. :) Yes I have had several people comment that after a full run Trixie is looking at the other dogs like "why are you panting?" They have often asked me if she ever seems to get tired, my reply is always yes but it takes a while! They are beautiful to watch run! Everytime I watch her it amazes me!
