Kiya and Chance…day 1

Basenji Talk
  • After the night we had last night I for sure thought Chance would continue with his "bad habbits". Today he actually listened to her snarls and gggrrrs and backed off. Kiya was able to enjoy today without Chance bugging her every moment.
    Kiya is fitting in great. She is a gem. She loves to cuddle and has even given me 2 baroo's this afternoon. :D
    Since Chance has never made a peep he just sat there looking at her as if to say…"what the heck was that" LOL
    He watches her every movement and when the cat came down to investigate her, Chance stood next to her as if he was protecting her. Hahaha. The cat is starting to come around. Kiya really isn't interested in the cat much (yet)
    They have been sleeping together on the couch today and I thought I would share a quick picture I took a few minutes ago.

  • Cute pic, glad things started to settle down today, I'm sure it'll get better

  • How cute… it does take adjustment... however remember those "nasty" noise don't stop.. that is Basenjis "speak"

  • Awwww cute photo! I'm glad to hear things are going better today! Keep the pictures coming!!! :)

  • I am just happy that now we "finally" have a baroo'n Basenji. I've never gotten to actually hear a Basenji baroo (only on YouTube) I just love it when Kiya gets all excited and a little roo comes out. It brings a tear to your eye cuz its just so darn cute!!!
    She is just a sweetie. I have to admit….this past year with everyone trying to get us to get another B, well.....you are all right....2 are far better than just 1!!!!!!!! But this is it.....we just don't have the room for 3 ;)

    I'm happy that it is working out great and that you "finally" have a singer. :D :D :) Maybe Kiya will get Chance to use his voice…

    One thing I did with Ruby to encourage the use of her voice is a reward everytime she sings. The best one I've been able to train her to do...I have her so I can say "tell me" while I'm holding her dinner...she baroos, runs into her crate, and then she gets dinner.

    BTW, I'm noting the date and time of your comment "we just don't have the room for 3"...maybe famous last words :D :D :D.

    Hmmm, I can remember many of us saying that…..;)

  • Kudos on your new addition.
    You will be surprised how much joy you and your b gets from this new dog.

  • Yay! Great news…I wish I had a baroooo-er too. Pictures? Did I miss them?

  • Congratulations on your addition. More pictures please.

    Although I sometimes treat Medjai as a kid person, I find that type of stuff ridiculous. Dogs have a much better purpose than to replicate babies. Medjai's main purpose in my house it to keep me company, and chase the birds out of the back yard when he feels like he didn't get enough running out at the dog park, or walks around the neighborhood.
  • Worst day at the park!

    You should call animal control and report a dangerous dog running loose. No one should have to deal with that type of danger when walking their dog.

    My Basenji would never be able to do it. She loves to swim, but isn't that nice with other dogs. My Husky mix would totally love it though. :) We'd have to use a crane to get him back out. I have a "doggy swim day" almost everyday. The shelter I work with built a lake out back, and on the hot days we let all the dogs go play in it.

    @jessi76: I used a dog daycare often when my dog was young, and still use it on occassion. I looked for the same things ChaseandZahrasmom's mentioned, but I also chose the one I use because it's the same place I train my dog. The staff in the daycare knew my dog from classes, they used the same training methods throughout the day (so it continually reinforced what we learned), and it was double fenced & gated… even inside. on my dog's first day he only had a human buddy all day. then on day 2 he got introduced to another dog, close in age/size/temperment. day 3 they added another friend. They kept a file listing his "friends" so the staff always knew what playgroup to put him in. They took special care during the cold months and rainy weather to keep him warm & dry. and they only crated for 1 hr during the work day. the place I use is $25/day, which to me and my budget is alot of money, but I also think it's a very fair price to pay for the quality of care my dog gets there, which is really most important. If you have multiple places to choose from in your area, I'd drop by un-announced, so you can see what a typical day is like. Showing up without an appointment sounds like a good idea. I didin't think about that. Thank you :)
