Growing the perfect dog nose

Show Off Your Dog
  • I love how puppies of any breed have really flat faces compaired to as they grow. I hadn't realized how long Zaire's nose had grown untill I was looking at a more recent picture. Here are three pictures for Yall.

    The first one is the day I brought her home.

    Here is one from about a month after she came home.

    And finaly the GREAT nose shot from last week.

  • great observation about the nose. Zaire is sure a beautiful girl!

  • Thank you …oh and it's a good thing too. I keep telling her she is lucky she is so good lookign or I would put her in a soup. :P Of course with CHarlie I alwayse threaten to BBQ him....I really hope my neighbors get my sense of humor. :D

  • We tell Nicky she would make great stew, but would require long slow cooking to get her tender. We used to threaten one of our early basenjis with making a pair of gloves out of her…we all have a pretty silly sense of humor, don't we?

    Anne in Tampa, who makes stew FOR Nicky, not out of her, haha

  • @MacPack:

    we all have a pretty silly sense of humor, don't we?

    Of course…..that's why we can all put up with being owned by these CRAZY dogs. :D

  • wonderful series of photos…
    Glad you thought of it...and share it!

  • I used to tell Booger I was going to toss him off our third story porch into the woods… until two weeks ago we came home & couldn't find him. We leave the back porch door open thinking he couldn't come to harm. We started calling him & he came running to the front door. We inspected the bushes underneath our porch, which were in disarray & leads us to believe he either fell or jumped off the porch. We have no idea how long he was out on his own, with no collar!!!! in a huge apartment complex with coyotes in the woods behind us! And he didn't have a scratch on him!!!!!!!!!! Its not such a funny threat anymore.

  • @Andrew:

    Its not such a funny threat anymore.

    Oh so he did it on purpose to teach you a lesson. ;)
    Isn't that the way with these little devils…...you have to be carefull what you say....they hear everything. :D

    I was living in Ghana for a few years and the year before I left had gotten my dog as a puppy from a neighbor. We became so attached, of course, that I couldn't leave him behind. It actually was very easy to bring a dog into the country–only a proof of rabies vaccination was required (surprising since the US has the strictest immigration laws for people!). He has adjusted very well, loves taking walks with a leash (in ghana he would run wild, and follow me around on my bicycle.) He refuses to walk in wet grass, though, which is something I think he shares with basenjis? I didn't post any pictures of how his forehead wrinkles--that's when he looks most like a basenji!

    I was thinking that for a second.. but I named her Dolce after my brother.. I mentioned why in a previous thread but ill give u a quick lil little overview. He is going away to Afghanistan soon and I wanted to have something to remind me of him. He used to repeat this one sentence " its a dolce" with a funny accent and it annoyed the crap out of me but I ended up just enjoying it after so much annoyance haha! Also I like this Italian phrase "la dolce vita" which means "the sweet life" or "the good life". I guess it wasn't as quick of an overview as I thought.

    Buddy is not an under cover dog he'll start at the top of the bed, get his nose just under them and push them back to the foot of the bed bunched up then lay against it.

    I loved Mammoth Lakes! My B/W Nika was like that. Always looking for the spot to jump over the water. Did not like walking on wet grass. She'd tolerate a bath now and then as long as the water was nice and warm.
