Kipawa enjoys a sunny day at the park

  • Seeing as Kipawa loves the dog park so much, I am treating him with a trip there every couple of days. It is a 15 minute drive there, mostly via highway and then through some scenic areas - lovely homes along the waterfront.

    Kipawa always starts off a little hesitant at the park, but then quickly pulls up his tail and enjoys everyone there. This time, he finally found a dog closer to his size that he really loved playing with.

    Overall, he befriends larger dogs more often. He did a couple of sweet nose greetings with two big dogs.

    And then there is time to go off on his own and figure out all of the smells. He runs around some taller grass, and I can almost think of him in Africa hunting and chasing down game.

  • Socialization is a wonderful thing! Glad he enjoys it so much, and that you have a nice park (with nice dogs) to go to.

  • Yes, socialization is great and fun too..you know he is having a ball and what better feeling is there?
    I love him playing with the doxie, as our doxie Gus is way to grumpy to play with Pippin..he snuggles with him but no play, NO…Gus will do anything for bodyheat but that is just about all.
    Great pictures btw.

    Fran, I think you are a wonderful Basenji Mum. The photos are lovely and Kipawa is obviously going to be a well-rounded boy with all his different exepriences.

    Looks like he is doing great at the dog park and with the other dogs - nice pictures, all of them! Gotta love the lhasa in the bright red coat - aren't we all thrilled we don't have to keep up with hair like that?!?

    @tanza: They are not wild "wicked" women…gggg... I know of a few "mellow" ones.. and usually I have found, it is the boys that are pretty wild in their younger years, more then the girls most of the time. There is stuff you can buy to put on her pads to protect them while they toughen up... and she would be one for sure that I would be very careful with on pavement/roads/sidewalks in the summer when the sun has really hot... that is what can really bother their feet, tough or not.. The 2 females I had were tough and devoted. Good point about the heat. That hot pavement is a killer and I don't think people realize it either.

    @Kipawa: The shot with the two of them sharing the stick is magazine worthy. Oh wow! Thanks a lot ;) @MacPack: Thank you! But it's the garden of my parents-in-law. We have to drive 5-10minutes to them. With its 4500 sq.m. it is a Basenji-paradies :D @Buana: Do you plan to visit another show in Germany? You were in Rheinberg, right? We planned to show there, too - but didn't have the time. @TikaLynn: I'm happy, that you like them so much :)

    I bet its great living on a ship Buana. Your 3 Dogs are beautiful. Our Basenji in his later years liked to wear a jumper at night, be covered with a fleece balnket and lay on top of a hot water bottle. He was just like me as i can't stand to be cold. Summer has gone in the UK too, it's rainy , rainy, rainy :(
