  • Yes, it was a great time! Thanks for driving out and it was lovely to meet you and Dylan (Dillan? Dillyn?) and Daisy and Duke!

  • @Tayda_Lenny:

    Dylan is the spelling. Thanks!! On the way home, Dylan said he's going to "miss Tayda and Lenny." :( Because you're moving to NY, we are thankful for this one visit together. But am hopeful that we will be in touch thru the Basenji forums. Again - best wishes for a quick, comfortable relocation. :)

  • It's sounds like a great outing!! And how nice for Jill to have a nice peaceful time at the dog park. That is great you all were able to meet up at least once.

  • Those babies look exhausted! Now you are going to be hooked on the dog park, I love taking my two they come home exhausted as well.

    Looks like you guys had a wonderful day!

  • The other dogs in the pictures look terrified of the basenjis or so overwhelmed they just gave up into submission.

    Our dog do whell with most hounds labs as well.

    All the bishon's we have met went pycho on our dogs??

  • ha ha, the park, these are the types of pics that other people without basenjis just dont understand- makes us look crazy.

    a basenji owner sees- oh my, they communicate so differently together than with other dogs, look at how they play

    the non dog owner sees- bunch of dogs that look alike….

    the basenji owner sees- they are growl talking and not killing each other ! LOL

    the other pet owners see - that dog is hard core scary and there are so many of them

    these are the types of events that make me understand my kids and value their communication skills.

    or maybe it is just me and i am a crazy basenji mom?

    LOL - Yeah and sometimes it scares the owner too … It was the 1st time at a dog park with my kids. TL was more at ease, which was a benefit for me. They do gowl talk - the snarking sounds something like short spurts of tasmanian devil. Startling even for a B-owner with other dogs in the mix.

  • Great pictures of a great day!

    Our go at it when they chase squirrels in the yard. the neighbors have to think our dogs are vicious. No one comes up to pet our dogs that live close. they fear them, except our next door neighbor who really knows them.

  • Those pictures are great!! I can't believe how BIG Daisy has gotten!! Wow time flies!!!! The last pic cracked me up!!! :D

    Thanks RWF and yes, she is the one with the "block head". But, she is a lady and means no harm. Total Basenji - no barking, no shedding, no smells so far. She is Dukes competition . . . Except for being a "bed hog", she has won our hearts a thousand times over.

    I too liked that last photo - classic! :D

  • They're all beautiful dogs! It just seems like yesterday you posting Daisy's homecoming pictures - She has turned into a magnificent young lady!

    Thank you! It was a pleasure meeting Mommy Michelle. Tayda and Lenny were amazingly well behaved with our meeting the week before last. I love that it's so easy to become familiar with these dogs . . . addicting, eh?

    They just opened a new park built on a retired landfill that has not one but TWO areas for dog parks, so when one gets run down, they'll open the other and close the first to allow grass to regrow, etc. She-Ra loves it, too, because unlike the other parks this one is wide open and has TONS of running room. Dream come true for us, but it'll still get hot in the summertime, I'm sure.

    Whew! Glad you got them back…definitely night & cold were on your side. This summer I had the b-kids in the pen outside and went up to the garage to get a rake...it was in the morning. I'm in the garage, and all of a sudden I hear the pitter-patter of little feet. I turn around and both kids are in the garage. Needless to say I was :eek: :eek: :eek: shocked. Anyway I made a big deal like I was so happy to see them and Ruby came right over to me to be patted and I picked her up. Brando wouldn't come close enough for me to get him. I started walking back to the house and I'm talking to Brando as I'm walking saying "hey Bran...let's get some cheese" and he's following me at a safe distance for him to not get caught. He follows me all the way to the porch, but then decides he wants to sniff around the side of the house. I open the door to put Ruby inside the house and as I'm going in I yell to him, "Brando, cheese". Well I go inside to the cheese drawer (I'm still holding Ruby), and the door swings closed, but then I hear the door open again and Brando runs into the house. :D Door closes behind him, both kids are in. Brando comes over and sits by me for his cheese. :D :D Good boy! Oh, and the reason they got free...I was in such a hurry I never noticed I forgot to close the gate...idiot mom :rolleyes: . That hasn't happened again!

    They had a sighting yesterday, and they believe that the dog has moved away from the interstate, and into the residential area of Vicksburg. She was seen with a pack last week, but was alone yesterday. They're hoping that since she's in the city now animal control will be more involved.

    My girl Lacie, does the exact same thing when we goto the dog park. My boy Ozzie will go explore a little bit and watch the other dogs play but not really get involved and he will always come back to me after a minute or two. We have only gone a couple of times but one time he finally got the urge to put him self out there and do his little sumo move and crouch down to play with this one dog, but sadly that dog wasn't interested.
