New Africans at Basenji Park


  • These little pup's have been an absolute joy. They've been great sleepers and are well on their way to being housebroken. They deserved some new toys of they're own.:D

    We just love watching Angali the little red girl , she is so full of energy…..Jasper and Willy are just enamored with her.
    Don't worry Asuma only takes so much guff from her and he fires back. When he's determined to "get even", he can be relentless. Asuma likes Willy, he follows him around.:)

    They are both very sweet dogs and love to snuggle with you.....wonderful little BBabies.


  • And how lucky that are to be fostered by you guys…. what a wonderful start on their adventure from Africa....


  • I just noticed in the 3rd pic that they got a stuffed giraffe as a toy…how appropriate! 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃

    We still haven't figured out how our name got pulled out of the hat:D …...but we're certainly glad it did.🆒 🙂 😃
    Thank You for the kind words Pat, we're truely honored to be able to do this for Mia.

    It is so much easier once the pack accepted them, they all go out together and do they're business.......they're really fitting in nicely!

    It was 6 degrees this morning!:eek: None of them wasted much time out there.....out and right back in!......burrrrr.:)


  • It's -3 here in Chicago and yesterday -18 with the wind chill. Not basenji weather.

    Love the new pictures. The little red girl is doing a great velociraptor pose from the movie Basenji Park!

    Great photos as usual!

    Thanks for sharing this experience.

    We woke up to snow this morning….....the Babies are not fond of snow just yet.:D They follow the others outside to go, but once they feel the cold and wet, they try to run back in the house. They're doing great for just coming from Africa to North America.

    They've become more comfortable with the other B's, they will get in a chair together and cuddle up.....it's pretty darn cute! Willy and Jasper are just great with them, Asuma loves Willy! Willy was washing Asuma......teeth, fur, ears.......Jasper even joined in.....it was a washing fest!
    Penny and Raven are good with the pups, they seem to be keeping an eye on things, but don't seem to play with them much..........they let Willy and Jasper do that. Penny likes them when they're outside with lot's of space, but inside she doesn't like to be overwhelmed or cornered by them and will run away. Raven seems to be more patient for the pups and they're play, but corrects them when she thinks they need it.

    It's amazing how they just seem to blend right in and adjust to everything, they are so much fun to watch. It's going to be so difficult to see them go.:(

    They do!

    They won't want to leave you either 😞

    I Know, I know! The wife was away on a trip to Westminister and I had my hands full manning the Basenji home front.:D


  • @Basenji_Boy:

    I Know, I know! The wife was away on a trip to Westminister and I had my hands full manning the Basenji home front.:D I promise more pics of those wonderful Af babies!
    We're taking a day trip to visit our friends at Eldorado Basenji's this weekend.
    I will have lot's of pics when I return…....I promise........you'll be able to get that puppy fix C&Z:D

    That's great, any idea when you will be able to have them come home?

    Don't they all look so good with they're hunting bells on…....so cool.:D


  • Aren't they just beautiful with their bells! Those pups are going to have fun when they get to their final destination too!!


  • That has to be a long flight, 12 hour + but I guess the one from Africa is just as long.

    Do they jut transport them in regular carriers?

    What about when they go to the bathroom?
