First Time

Basenji Talk
  • Ahhh!! I wanna cry, my baby B who is 4.5 months gave me my first "welcome home" barrooooooooooooo!!!

    Ahh, I'm such a proud mama!

  • Our little guy baroos for strangers all the time, but not as often for us. Anyone he meets who doesn't immediately pay attention to him gets a baroo, if they continue to ignore him they get a louder one! He has baroo'd for me once when I came home from work and didn't get across the yard quick enough (he was on a tether) to greet him. He still hasn't done it for DH.

  • Congratulations, Schouiffy!!

    It's such a heartwarming feeling, isn't it?!?!? :) :) :)

    I usually have to coax Magnum for one, and he won't be coaxed every time, but when he does it, it's like our own special moment.

  • Thats great! Tosca will baroo for visitors as well (especially my parents) but we are never good enough to get one, unless sometimes when we have food and she wants some, thats almost become a trick for her cause I give in and give her a scrap! :)

  • How do others coax their Bs to baroo? Cyrus is nearly one and a half year old, and I have never heard him baroo. Cale heard a baroo when he was working outside and Cyrus was shut inside, but Cyrus was pretty young then. Sort of a baroo of desparation. We don't have other Bs, so Cyrus has no role model to teach him to baroo. Any ideas to coax it out of him? I would love to hear it.

  • My other B is 15 and when we bought her she just starting barrooing on her own at about 5months - with a little help from some high pitched "barrooing" from ourselves…kinda like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S12mJk7GPiY

    hehee. I love the "wheres the squirrel"

  • bodhi baroos when i get home from work and dont get him out of the crate fast enough

    @nancyss said in Play time: once any toy was void of stuffing, I could re-stuff them ...wait... Cassie leaves enough for you to mend her toys? doodle practically eviscerates them!!! [image: 1612655615022-toypic.jpg]

    Sounds like your vet's office has all the right setups for boarding and for day care - my own vet's office does not have all those facilities. Wish they did! At the place where I do take them, the outside play area is covered,so climbing out is not possible, or I would worry about that as well, since our B's certainly can climb! So glad you have found a place Cody is safe and happy when boarding is necessary.

    There's something invigorating about cold snow on little basenji toesies! My Abbey loved all the snow we had last winter (unusual for us) but she was terrified of the neighbors' snow man!!

    I can relate. Mine's vacationing at her grandma's for the second time this summer. I'd say the house is too quiet without her but come to think of it it's quiet when she IS here! Don't sleep too good though–-there's a little empty spot behind my knees....
