Oh Cali..

    Cali has been a little depressed since my brother picked up his dog(Lady the Boxer) yesterday. Lady had been staying with us for 3 wks while my brother was out of town. I guess Cali really got use to having the companionship even though Cali picked fights with Lady constantly:) I have actually been considering rescueing another Basenji for a companion, but not until the first of the year (I must be crazy). No, actually I love this breed and my next dog will definitely be a Basenji.
    Anyway, I was at home very ill today with a bad flare up of my Colitis. I was in a lot of pain and at one point was laying on the bathroom floor. Well Cali tried to comfort me and was licking all over me and trying to get me off the floor. She even kept bringing toys to the bathroom so I could play with her. She can be so sweet sometimes. Even though I was in a lot of pain I did manage to laugh a little due to all of her antics to make me fill better. Anyway, while I was trying to get myself up off the floor Cali walks into the bathroom with a new pair of jeans that I purchased a couple of days ago. She got them out of the laundry room. I guess this was her way of telling me that if I didnt get up she was going to destroy my jeans:eek: She never fails to amaze me and has been pretty good today considering that I have been under the weather. She even took a nap with me.
    How do your Baenjis act when you are sick or upset? They are very intuitive.

    Rocket does the same thing when I'm sick, he watches me all day and never leaves my side. Of course I'm in bed all day which is where every B prefers to be!!

    wow! nic memories! Here on my city my sister cant belive that people even stop theirs cars to ask "what breed is your dog"? some people get pictures with the cellphone or with their tablets so a walk with my girls on the downtown is a secure chit chat with the people. A remember 3 ladies, they were so amazing! Maca dont put so much atention on people specially girls, but those ladies was talking to Maca saying she was sooo pretty sooo sweet sooo everything and Maca start to bend those ears and make noises they were more happy and carry on and Maca more and more sweet Whilw They was saying Maca was soo sweet and bla bla and i was thinking.. ha! she is a little naughty and sometimes so dominant.. but that day Maca plays her role to perfection. She deserves a Oscar.. Other day she was confused with a male chihuahua, a lady ask if we can breed our dogs, i said, well is a SHE and is not a chihuahua, the woman start to apologize i dont care well.. i dont like Maca be confused with a male dog, but was funny at the end. But on general people use to think they are like foxies or pitbull or little deer. I said to some kids that i was ironing the tale all days to get curled. They believe it and i was worried they try to iron his own dog, so i said that noooo! that was natural and ironing a dogs tale is a ugly idea. Oh one day i lef Maca with the policeman at the bakerys door ( he was at my sight anyway) and when i was out i found the man with several people asking him if was a police dog or some kind of new police dog because looks so nice and so naughty hahha The poor man have no words and just was smiling while the people was taking picture of him and the dog. lol So the last time that i walked with my sister she was wow! i cant believe it.. the people stoped to ask what breed is.. Yes, my girls are used to some fame.. and i like they socialize with the kids.. not so much with the grown people and with so many thief getting his eyes on pure breed doggies not so nice but well… i said the are naughty some times.

    Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions! I read about the poo in the console too, yucky! There will be 4 of us and the 2 dogs, so hopefully we can keep them out of trouble. :eek:

    Yeah… you should have heard Jazz at the dog show today when another dog got too close! And the poor dog hadn't even done anything. Now, why that dog triggered the response when several others had gone with little or no attention paid, I do not know. Then we came home and I took her for a quick jog down the road, and the neighbors {soooooooooo annoying} young boxer ran out to say hello and Jazzy's first response was to growl and snap. She is fine with Basenji's, but oh! what a bitch with anything else.

    Hollie is also a mixed breed. She is Basenji and Whippet. I found out early on that she fears no other dogs. She is approximately 30 lbs and almost 2 years old. She plays with dogs of all sizes on a regular basis and backs down from none. Her "boyfriend" at the local dogpark is a 6 month old Irish Wolfhound ,whose favorite game is let's put Hollie's head in my mouth, this puppy is already 3 times her size in body (not sure of his weight at this point - but he is expected to be over 170 lbs full grown). Hollie plays with the Mastiffs, Ridgebacks and other large breeds. I prefer this now, seeing how rough a basenji can be when playing.
