I'm almost done shopping, and even done wrapping. At an attempt to not leave everything to the last minute this year, I have been wrapping gifts as I get them. I even put them in a neat stack in my spare room, leaving the bows off so the cats don't eat them.

I was watching tv the other day, and noticed the house was just too quiet… you know, that "eerie" type of quiet. the type of quiet you only notice when your B is getting into mega trouble. So, I ventured around to see what I could find.... and then I saw it. Tucker, on the couch, surrounded in wrapping paper, presents, and a downright adorable smirk on his face! he found my neat stack of presents in the spare room, brought some to the couch, and proceeded to unwrap them. thankfully he didn't actually open or eat any gifts, he was just interested in the wrapping....

note to self: put wrapped gifts on a high shelf, inside a closed closet.

It was really funny. we all had a great laugh. I WISH I had a camera on hand. ahhh well... they can be re-wrapped.

I am no expert but I looked at the photo before reading your post and I thought it was one. The classic white shoulders, upright ears, pointed nose and shape of face....I agree a profile view would add but it would not be hard to convince me this dog has some basenji genes.

I have a general question. Does anybody elses Basenji not like to be picked up. Ours sometimes loves it, and sometimes not. Also
sometimes she runs up to dogs as quiet as can be and plays, and than other times she makes a squeeling noise, and people
are afraid she is picking a fight with their dog. But I think shes just talking. She squeels at our new Whippet puppy, and loves to
play with her and is as gentle as can be, considering the Whippet puppy is really rough on my poor Basenji baby girl. does anyone
know what the squeeling means. The baroo I get she does that all the time. The squeeling is confusing.

@Hana:

Hana wags her tail a lot when greeting us, it sort of unrolls out, whips around, curls back up, wiggles and waggles floppily…. I was surprise how much she unrolls it and rolls it back up though, I think depending on her mood. Her happy tail flopping around is the cutest thing ever !!

That sounds really cute. The more I hear about basenjis the more I think no two are the same. LOL

Keoki's sire (Buka) is an Aussie import. He is good-sized, though I haven't wicketed him. But I know he is one of our biggest dog, probably 17.5-18" tall, but very well proportioned.

As Pat said, it doens't matter where they are from as to their size. I've seen some really small Aussie dogs, just as some American dogs can be really big and some can be really little.

🙂 For the most part the only toys that hold up in my house are kongs, the "plush" toys made for dogs who destroy do last for a few weeks, but thats about it. I get the "mean kitty" and "mad cow" dolls for them every so often, and there are these wabba toys that you can get that are made from recycled firehose material. They all have fun chewing and chasing these toys. I have a couple of "tough dog" toys that are sorta like fabric frisbees, that have lasted for almost a year! the squeekers have since died in both of them, but the pups still like to tug them around, and have me throw them. I keep a lot of recreational bones and such available in the house, and some cow hooves which take them awhile to chew on. But its hard to find good bones for them because they can not be beef. If I get them without any marrow, or any meaty material than we can have them, but otherwise we have to steer clear because my Masi is allergic to beef. So when I get marrow bones, I actually take all the marrow out, and wash the bones before they get them. It's sorta sad really, she loves them so much!

I am so glad to see I am not the only one dealing with this issue. We got Bella when she was four months old and the chase has been on ever since. She turned one year old on December 27th and I am still dealing with this. Eight months of cat chasing and I think I am going looney here. :eek:
