****atoos!

Off Topic
  • KipawaK

    I've yet to purchase my first basenji, but when I do, he will have to adapt to the disgusting :) sound of my ****atoos screeching. We have a pair in their own (aviary) room that has a french door on it so we can keep track of the antics going on. They have an incredibly large cage and lead a life of luxury.

    As ****atoos live a very long life, my B. boy will have to get used to their sounds and movements. My 'toos are estimated to be in their early 30's, so I might have to will them off to someone!

    I don't think there will be a chance that my B. will ever get into the bird room, as I have been successful in keeping 3 cats away from them for 15 years. The cats are very disinterested in the ****atoos now. They barely look into the room.

    However, I can just see (or is that HEAR?) the birds and my B. in a happy baroo/screech chorus. :)

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!
