My B Scared me to DEATH!!

Basenji Talk
  • @elena86:

    Do you think he might've been sleepwalking? Or in basenji terms…sleep stalking?

    I thought that, but his eyes were definatly WIDE open and Hackles up…he was awake...

  • @Barklessdog:

    My male scared the crap out of my wife & myself. In the middle of the night I hear a man screaming like he's getting knifed to death. Loud blood curdling screaming!

    I go down stairs and find the dog in his crate looking at me like "what?"

    I never heard ANYTHING like that.

    WEIRD…so it was your dog that made the noise? i wonder how, just a high pitch yodel i guess??

  • N o it was him. It was a dark deep scream that was human in nature.

    Like they describe here-

    I have never heard anything even remotely like that coming out of him. He had to be having a really bad dream to scream like that. Or his tail got caught in his crate bars?

    his tail will not uncurl

    He won't tell us though

  • LOL…I dont think Jack has ever made a noise like that...It would scare me to death tooo

  • Well, if it was a ghost, know that Jack was there to protect you….hackels and all.....

  • yeah, "NO quick moves dead floating guy or ill Get'Cha!!"

    lol…

  • What are Hackles?

  • it's when all the hair stands up on their back

  • i swear my boy sees ghosts all the time - he will be laying in the hall and then get up and go to the living room and start to play - i swear with someone but no one is there - he runs into another room, runs back, looks around - it's nuts - i always tell my b to tell them to go to the light! LOL!

  • I have had a couple of basenjis that howled occasionally in their sleep. That is really spooky, a long, low mournful howl, sitting up but asleep. I have never heard one scream while asleep. Our first screamer would do it to let you kow where he was, and that he wanted you to come to him. Sounds like what your boy did in the middle of the night! And it is nothing like a howl or yodel, it is a bloodcurdling scream!

    Q
    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(
  • 2 B's or NOT 2 B's…. That is the question!!!!

    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…
