    …and getting caught in the rain, then you're not a Basenji. :)

    Against our better judgement, the wife and I decided to take She-Ra on a quick walk in her favorite park. There were clouds on the horizon, but we live in a weird part of the desert where you can see the clouds from a distance and watch them completely skirt your entire community. It's fun to watch the lightning and a cool night in Arizona is something you take advantage of when it happens.

    Naturally the storm hit big time JUST as we got to the shelter area. I mean this rain was POUNDING on the roof and we hid in the men's bathroom for the worst of it, which was fun for the dog because there's all kind of stuff to check out in there. :rolleyes:

    Finally it got to the point where it was just showering...so we stepped out to get a look at it. I think it was the first time she'd really seen that much water pouring down and been out IN it. The look on her face was a cross between "Wow, this is neat!" and "Daddy, make it stop now."

    The real fun was running back to the car through the rain at the low point in the rain. We got home just in time for the next gullywasher. We watched that one from the safety of the patio. She-Ra actually went out to check it out up close...so we may have a water-dog on our hands if we're not careful.

    Blaze does it, too, as did Maxx before him. It does tend to freak people out who are not dog savvy or who know nothing about Basenji's because they think he's waiting to attack their dog. We try to reassure the other person that, no, Blaze isn't going to attack their dog…it's just something Basenji's do. Some people aren't convinced, though...we had one person in the RV park where we spend the winter go so far as to pick up his dog everytime they saw us coming. That dog, who started out being friendly, turned into a barking, growling dog everytime we'd walk by. Some people simply shouldn't be allowed to have dogs! ;)

    All of mine are having a longer and larger shed right now than is usual. I think it because it has been unusually hot and humid for a longer time than normal.

    Kiro Gurl, That's a great pic. I have a bay window on which my 2 are constantly watching the goings on in the neighborhood. Someone in the house will say, "where's the dogs?" and the inevitable reply is "they're on Neighborhood Watch duty." Needless to say we are alerted to every unwanted intruder…..marauding cats, wilily squirrels, and those despicably lawless off leash dogs (with the occasional 'bad to the bone' large wild bird thrown in for good measure;) ) sigh, I feel sooooo safe. I thank Darwin every day that they don't have opposable thumbs 'cuz they'd be unlocking and opening the door for anyone they deemed as a suitable playmate, tummy scratcher, or cuddler:D ! Now that you have a 'window watcher' too, I suggest you invest in windex. There's nothing better to get those dog snot streaks off the windows!! (BTW...welcome to the forums toddsgirl)

    The first thing I thought of when looking at those doggie clothes was the scene in the beginning of 101 Dalmations where Pongo is watching the various pairs of dogs and their humans walking along. I was amused by that association. I don't think any of the dogs in that scene had clothes on, but they very well could have - particularly the poodle. If there is such thing as a doggie runway strut she had it down pat.
