Sleep yodeling

Basenji Talk
  • Maybe it's full moon :D

    We were also guessing Tillo was probably still chasing after the lure.. ;)

  • Every now and then Kananga will pass gas in his sleep, but never a yodel. :(

  • Hansel "talks" in his sleep all the time!!! he will whimper, snore, yelp, and kind of "chase" (he moves his legs a little) it is SO cute. I am sure it is that RASCALLY rabbit he is always trying to get but his leash is attached to a rather large slow human and he never gets to finish the chase,,, only in his dreams. :)

  • My OJ would howl in his sleep, especially when the girls were in seaso… most of the rest of mine would "talk" now and again in their sleep, OJ was the only one that really howled... sound asleep... howling at the moon

    Yes, that is what I have seen too. Querk did that a couple times in the fall…and it about scared Tim and I to death...it is a creepy, erie, long howl...and he did seem to be completly asleep.

  • Lycia is ridiculously active in her sleep, she will "woof", cry, "puff", growl, run - and raise the hair on her back - almost every night ;) she has a active dream life.

    Exactly… totally creepy, erie and longgggg..... The first time he did it, I didn't have a clue what the heck was going on...gggg

    Jet the tri-ing does this every once in a while. Wakes everyone else up, eerie as heck. Sounds like a death howl (for lack of a better discription). My others haven't done this.

  • Ellie will howl in her sleep from time to time – very eerie and mournful sound.

    And you're telling me this now? …ggg... there goes my good night's rest.. ;)

    That's it! Bf and I were also looking at eachother like.. Oh my.. :eek:

  • Nala only woofs and wimpers on occasion. I feel the need to wake her - as if she's having a nightmare :o…I can't even imagine a creepy, eerie, long yodel at night!:eek:

  • Janneke, just saw your post. Hehe. It's nothing too loud, I just notice cause I'm always awake when it happens. She has never woken me up before… well not since she was 10 weeks old and was a little terror about going pee!! ;)

  • our older male has howled in his sleep twice…he is 7 years old...its always a long death howl that scares everyone...he does not wake up...it reminds me of a "i am lost where is everybody, come find me"

    I think that everyone has certain sleeping habits that seem to be strange to someone... It's normal! Just remember about http://onlineclassmentor.com/blog/20-things-students-should-stop-doing-in-school, since they are vital to be considered!

    Oh to have a silent Basenji. Our Bitty has, unfortunately, learned that the loudest dog gets fed first, and yips and yodels from the instant I move toward the garage door (where we have to keep their food) until I put her dinner before her. Her other loud period is every evening when my wife comes in the door from work, all 3 of the puppers flock to her and vocally announce 'momma's home' at the top of their lungs. It must be wonderful to be so loved, ha ha.

    Joey gave his first 'Baroooooo' today when I didn't give him as much attention as he wanted after I came home. I was surprised and thrilled! It was so fun to hear it since most of the time he is quiet unless growling when someone disturbs him while he is sleeping. Is there a difference between a baroo and a yodel? Once before when I didn't give him adequate attention, he batted my leg to let me know, Hey I'm down here waiting for more attention!
