Basenji's love mint!

Show Off Your Dog
  • We were hiking one day in the canyon with our B, Samantha. We went down by a little stream and were watching for trout swimming around. Then I noticed that Samantha was sniffing some plants, then started turning her head and laid down in it and started rolling around reveling in the smell. It was a patch of wild mint, and she smelled so minty fresh after that! Of course now that it's winter, the mint is gone, so we grew some in a little grow box and put some down on the floor for her, and here's what happened:

    I'm so glad she loves rolling around in mint rather than the other, more disgusting, things my other B's loved to roll in! :)

  • Sooooooooo cute,,,,,,,and yes,,,,,you are lucky that mint is what she likes to roll in!!!! :)

  • My B does that too. I wash my hair in tea tree shampoo and mint conditioner and he goes crazy. He will try to climb on top of me on the couch and roll all over my head…I got to get a video of that :)

  • Sounds like Basenji catnip!

    I remember stopping at a winery this summer and Zahra went nuts over a rosemary plant rolling around like crazy.

  • Last year we bought a catnip mouse for our cat, but Samantha likes to play with them more than the cat does!

    Yep, I spent about 3 days trying to come up with names, searching online and asking my parents and brother for names all we came up with was Olivia, so her final name will be either "One in a million" Olivia Palito or Olivia Palito "One in a million" (Olivia Palito is the portuguese name for Olive in Popeye[Palito means toothpick]) I have a few more photos of her but won't be uploading them today so maybe tomorrow I'll upload some !

    Ono is a Hawaiian word, used to describe something that is 'the best' AND happens to be very basenji appropriate :) We hesitated naming her something that so strongly resembled 'no' but we don't use 'no' very much in our training, we say 'hey' to get their attention and then give them another cue to follow when we are redirecting their behaviour. The pups love the huge costco bed, and I love the great cedar smell :)
