Chillin' in Florida

  • He, he…our thermostat is only set to 62!

    VERY cute pics!

  • The other day after we came back from our walk, Senji was really cold. He went over to the space heater and gave me a little baroo to tell me to turn it on! :)

  • Betsey, It was warm at the park today, the boys would have loved it! None of my 3 will wear any sort of 'clothes', fortunately they are not cold-natured. They have been loving this 60-70 degree weather. Of course, they don't have to get up early and go out, they can wait till the sun is out and it has warmed up. I bought nice fleece lined, water repellant coats for them last year before we went to the mountains. I put the coats on them one damp cold morning and tried to take them for a walk. Not. They looked miserable and refused to move till I took the coats off!

    Like Caesar, they do love to curl up in soft blankies!

  • I keep the house temp on the cool side and if he's too chilled EL D will either head for his doggie basket or hover in front of the heating vent. Or snuggle next to me if I'm sitting on the couch.

  • They are so funny arent they. Yesterday I put them in the backyard for a bit while I was in the front yard. I come back and peek at them from the kitchen window. They are glued to each other shivering in a sliver of sun on the porch!

  • I got savannah a sweater and when i put it on her she just stood still , didnt want to move around.

  • Ha! She'll get used to it. The boys dont want me to take them off! It is the part that touches their leg that they have to get used to. One wash and it will fit perfectly!

  • EL D has a coat type that snaps around his chest and under ribcage. However he doesn't like the back end because it will cover part of his tail. I have to make sure his tail is on top of the coat or he goes whacko.

  • I can imaging the whacko basenji. Too cute!

  • I think I was redundant – whacko - basenji -- sorry :)

    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…
  • What does your basenji like to 'sing' to?

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!

    Oh WOW, you guys are sooooo helpful. Thanks DDS for the link, that was especially helpful. I'm just intrigued with this breed for some reason, and I'm not sure why. Reading what all of you have to say is better that the typical things that you read on the computer. They all just repeat the same thing over and over where as all of you can give me personal experiances. I know all puppies are a lot of hard work, but compared to other dog (which I see some of you have had other breeds) are they actually a lot tougher? All pups like to chew and get into trouble but are they especially hard to train. Lets say with housebreaking and such? Oh and for all of you that have cats too, do they stay out of the kitty box or are the prone to make there way there, if you catch what I'm saying. I read they they are very clean and often times will clean themselves like a cat does. Really? And they are aloof like cats? Soooo much info and I would rather hear all of this from you than get false info. HELP!!
