Dandy's disapperance

Basenji Talk
  • Dandy was the male of our little Basenji family. In Nov. 1976 our house burned down:eek: and we moved 5 miles away from the farm. Dad left Dandy at the farm and we took Teakatu and Missy to the trailer house that we would stay in until we could start rebuilding in the spring. One night, someone pulled up to the barn and untied Dandy and stole Dad's tools and then gas out of the gas barrel. Dandy took off and when Dad went to the farm the next day, he couldn't find our missing B.:confused: Night after night when I would get home from school, I would ask Dad if Dandy came back yet and the answer was always no.:( One night when it was really cold outside, the girls started to act like they wanted to go outside. they would go to the door and then jump on the couch, back and forth like that about three times. Finally we opened the door to let them out and in walked Dandy, just as proud as he could be, with the look of see I knew I would find you.:D

  • aww that's a sad story at start but an awesome ending !!!! :)

    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!

    If you find that you have excessive collars/leashes, you may want to call your local shelter and see if they would like to have them. So many shelters run on such a shoestring budget, it might be something they'd be able to use but not afford…. Just a thought

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
