I recently "married" a Basenji!

[nala121498]

Ooh - you and she are quite outnumbered with all of those boys! You girls better stick together!! ;)

[snorky998]

Welcome Sadie! Yes, she may be quite mad when you leave. :) After all those years in a house loaded with testosterone, she probably feels she's found her estrogen soul mate :D.

An online Basenji dictionary would not have a definition for "weird". It would just say "see 'Normal', 'Attention Getting', 'Innate Behavior', 'Prozak'," and be supported by google ad pop-ups for king size beds, toilet paper sales, underwear outlet stores, and indestructible dog toys (which we all know only exist in fantasy land). :D:D

LOL snorky998! So true! Welcome Sybersade!

Hmmmmm….......I'm trying to figure out how to add pictures to a post.

Hey! It worked! This is a picture of our wedding in front of the capitol building in Sacramento, CA. Me, John, my 2 sons, and his 3 sons.

I'll try to post some pics of Haley next.

Cute pics! Thanks! My boy does that crossing his front paws thing too. I think its adorable.

[SyberSade]

Thanks, Bart! I adore this little old girl. They're enchanting, aren't they?

@SyberSade:

"Enchanting", yes, excellent decription. They just get in your heart and you're done. Despite of, or because of, their quirks/behaviors we just love them.

[Basenjimamma]

Great pictures Sadie, thanks for sharing. Haley is adorable..
on a side note, Otis will cross his paws too and he loves to lay down on the edge of the bed/couch like that with paws hanging over the edge..

[agilebasenji]

What cute pics!!! Looks like you two are forming quite the pack.

Welcome to the forum Sadie, thanks for sharing those pics, the wedding one is lovely with all your boys :) Love the Halloween pic of Haley, she's so pretty.

[SyberSade]

Thanks, Shelley! Got the little girl dress at Goodwill Thrift Store for CHEAP and 'fixed' it! ;)
When the trick-or-treaters came to the door on Halloween, I'd hold a dog treat up in the air and Haley would "dance" for them. It was so fun!

Haley is so pretty and pictures are great. I like your wedding picture very nice handsome bunch of boy's.

Ahh!!! I LOVE HER!! She is SOOOO cute!!
You said she was 8, right?? That's about the same age as my little princess, Lexi– who also likes to dress up. I wonder if they are long lost sisters!! Where is yours from?

[SyberSade]

She's from here in Arizona…...born 12/6/2000. Isn't it funny how they don't mind being dressed up? My 2 sons, who are now in their 20's, are darn glad I have someone else to dress up these days! And they wouldn't mind it if I made her take dance lessons, too!!!! ha ha ha ha ..........(I only made the oldest take dance lessons.....and it was when he was very young and only until he broke it to me that he'd rather take wrestling!!!) ANYWAY, Lexi and Haley probably ARE related somewhere up the line! They are both awfully beautiful..........if we do say so ourselves!! ;)
