Beeji played today!!

    I say he played today which is true, but it was by himself with an orange tennis ball. He tossed it a couple of times yesterday but today after our morning walk, we came back and went out into our newly fenced back yard. He did his usual 100 mile a second dash around and then he ran over to the ball, grabbed it, and tossed it very high, when it hit and began to roll, he took off after it and did it again.

    He was leaping and jumping and looked totally happy!

    He is a real sweetie and is beginning to show off some of his goof ball behavior! Tonight, he was sleeping on the couch and his head was hanging off the side. He began to snore, and then his tongue slipped out of his mouth! He rolled over a bit so his feet were in the air and with his head down and tongue hanging out he looked like he was totally drunk.

    Of course he moved the second I reached for the camera!

    I have gotten a couple of photos and they are in my member gallery. I tried to upload some on the show off your B thread but they came on as attachments. Not sure what I did.

    Anyway, just wanted to share!

    Thanks

    We always called that the "blue funk" after the girls were in season and for about two months after.... once they got passed the "I should have had puppies".... they would go back to mostly normal.....

    @wizard: Has your beastie created a playroom like this? [image: 188.JPG] Love this picture! It's the same picture I could take of my own house…LOL! I have a bucket that the toys go in. I only wish-wish-wish that I could teach my furkids to put their toys away when they're done! Ha ha! Between dog toys and kid toys - It's insane! My son has finally learned to keep his stuff in "his" game room and shut door, but I am daily - pushing dog toys aside with my feet when walking thru the house! Ya gotta love 'em! :D

    My basenjis are very well known at my vet's office. Since we are in so much when we have a litter everyone in the office knows my dogs. When I call, I just give my dog's name and they know who they are talking to. I always know when there is a new vet tech when they dogn't know my dogs when I call. Everyone there loves my dogs. When we first started there we were the "good basenjis" now I think we must have set the standard for basenjis since we are now "the basenjis".

    @Lenora: He sounds pretty typical basenji to me Cheryl. They want to be where you, and make themselves completely comfortable on you. Abbey used to be a terrible mouther when she was little (she's 3 now) and I taught her No Bite. Kiss. When she'd start to mouth at my hand or whatever, I'd say No Bite, Kiss, and she would give me a little lick instead. I too use the No Bite, Kisses and he is getting there. If he gets too rough, I just pull away and ignore him, it doesn't take long before he will reach over and give a gentle kiss. I am having so much fun with him. He is the most loving dog I have ever owned and we are learning lots from each other. Yesterday he "saved" me from the UPS truck! He saw it pull up outside on the curb and he set off with a series of barks that hit a pitch that hurt! Of course once he saw the man get out, he was all wiggles and wanting to play with him. :)
