    he sure is a beautiful little boy!!

    Thanks! <big grin="">. I think so, too. I think it's the coat - he's a real nice deep red; quite a bit darker than Jazzy.</big>

    LOL. Love it!!! :D I'll have to remember to tell that to dh! He really worries about Keoki being so close to the stove and always pushes him down. I tell him, if it hurts, he'll move. Now I'll have to tell him that he's just trying to keep that nice color! LOL

  • Ours also love to get close to the fireplace and one has singed his whiskers on teh glass a couple of times.

    He will lay in teh bed and prop his head up on teh edge of the bed facing right at the fire for hours.

  • We made a fire the other night, the first since I got Ruby…she put her nose right up next to the glass and then quickly moved away. I said the same thing, if she hits it, she'll learn to stay a little further away. I'll have to remember the "toast" post :D ...as Ruby has the same very dark red coat.

    The B (Zeke) we had when I was a kid would sleep underneath the franklin stove (the legs on a franklin are a taller than a regular wood stove) in the basement. When he would come out from under it, you couldn't touch his back or you would get burned. It was amazing.

  • @BasenjiDiva:

    How do they do that!? I'll look over and see Cory sitting straight up, eyes closed, and head periodically nodding a little. It isn't like there isn't room for her to lie down to nap! It cracks me up how basenjis sleep - curled up like a little fox; or head stuck into a crevice in the sofa/chair/pillow as if the light bothers them; or legs stuck rigidly straight out like they've died and rigor mortis has set in.

    When Ruby's head starts to move because she's falling asleep sitting up, I call her "bobble head Ruby" :D.

  • Very cute! What a handsome boy!

  • What adoreable pics. Sleeping standing or sitting up must be a basenji trait. The doggie day care Hollie use to attend told me they often times saw her sleeping standing up. Like a kid I guess who's afraid they'll miss something. :D

  • Jazzy's Mom, your 2 are just so pretty. Your male B is amazing, I have noticed that Bs can and do sleep in the darnest positions. When I bought Sahara from the petstore I was driving home (a hour away) and to my amusement I looked and saw her standing up sleeping. I was like, I have never seen a dog do that, I should have known then that these dogs are different in many ways. I told my hubby that I think Bs are so amazing that they train you to NEVER want another breed of dogs.

    Oh thanks! :D I think so, too, but I may be a bit prejudiced. ;)

    My niece, who has three pit bulls and is a HUGE FAN of that breed, doesn't like the Basenjis because she says they are just not "dog-like" enough for her.
    Makes me laugh because, aren't they MORE REAL dog-like than the man-made dogs? LOL

    Her pits are easily trained; they are all about making her happy.
    Whatever….. :D

  • He looks like he is in total bliss. :)

  • Show Keoki is Daddy on the back of the newest B mag…
    Keoki looks very much like Buka, well, when he is awake! :eek:

    Cool! A "famous" relative. :)

    I'd love to see it; I wonder if the photo can be scanned and posted?

  • He is so handsome…especially by the fire...Nala's favorite place. She prefers the traditional sprawled out nap.

  • Lol Too Funny!!!

    We have almost 8 inches of snow right now. It's blowing, drifting and more snow is falling. Both Duke & Daisy dashed right out into the snow this morning - frolicking all the way in circles. They act like it's the best day ever. They were out for at least 10 minutes - when they stood still and started lifting their paws up and down, one by one. Since - then they've been out 3-4 times, dashing all the way for just a few minutes each time. We have winter blizzard storm warnings all day. Glad it is Sunday. I think I'll put my Christmas tree up and get it decorated.
