Hello Again…

Basenji Talk
  • Hello Everyone :)

    It has been a while since I've been here. I hope some people remember me a little. :)

    Anyway, we had a baby boy 2 years ago and our basenji is great with him.

    What has really impressed us is the fact that we adopted a 7 month old kitten for our son a few weeks ago and I swear our basenji thinks Mickey was intended specifically and only for him. These two are constantly playing and having a total blast together. If we would have know that a kitten would have made Corky this happy we would have gotten one right away after our previous cat passed two years ago.

    We really are very proud of Corky and how gentle he is with Mickey. We were so worried it wouldn't work out and the fact that it did makes our family even more complete than it was. :D

  • Welcome back and great to hear all the good news. Post some pics of Corky and the new kitty.

  • Welcome back, it is so nice to hear that your basenji gets on well with both your little boy and the little kitty. I like his name BTW.

  • Thanks! I will try to get some pictures. They move pretty quick so it may take me a few days. hehe :)

  • I was not on here when you were before so I will just say welcome for 1st time. Loved your story and welcome to parenthood also. We got our 1st B back in March of this year had fun, I love the Tri's.

  • Good story to hear..I would love to see pictures of Corky and Mickey playing..

  • I'm still fairly new here. If that is Corky on your avatar, he is a very pretty dog. I love the way it looks like he's wearing a burglar's mask. Congrats on the kitty!

  • Welcome back - keep us informed of progress as the kitten grows into a real cat ;)

  • Thanks everyone! I'm still trying to get a picture of them playing. Corky had him around the neck last night and he was so gentle about it that Mickey was able to squirm out and run off again so Corky could chace him.

    AJ, yes, that is Corky on my avatar. Thank you very much! We think he's kinda cute too. :)

  • Welcome back! Can't wait to see pics of Corky and the kitten :D

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
