@sanjibasenji - Well it would depend on where you stop to eat and of course the weather. It it is hot or cold out that is not comfortable for your Basenji. I prefer to keep an eye on the in the car/suv/RV. All depends on when you stop and the location.... Mine have always been crated when traveling...
Basenji books
-
Kipawa wags his curled up tail - it's adorable!
-
Haven't read the book…Scarlett wags her curled tail. Her tail curl is quite tight which makes it look weird to me to see such a little package move so quickly (as she is my first Basenji).:)
-
Mine definitely wags her tail. Curly tail wags are the cutest thing… and far less lethal than a straight-tailed whip.
As for books, here's another list that I like:
http://www.basenji.org/BasenjiU/Owner/Books/104BiblioIndex.htmlI haven't read many, but I actually prefer a non-fiction memoir like Veronica Tudor-Williams' Fula, Basenji from the Jungle. Call of the Marsh is next on my list…

My B's wag their tails. Their whole bottom wags when they are so happy to see you.

Dex wags his tail too. Not all the time though, so when he does it I get excited.
-
suki also wags her curly tail.

Thank you all for the informative replies. I was surprised to hear so many have basenjis that wag their tails. I have never see that in any of mine. Benkura, I thought it was a problem in the transforming from hard copy to digital. I too find the misspellings a daunting way of reading a book. Thank you all for the suggestions and links too.

I highly highly recommend The Collected Kona… It is a collection of stories all about a Basenji (several hilarious ones in there). You can find it on Amazon and Ebay I believe. Super cool book!

Thank you Michye7994 and agilebasenji. I will definitely check out the books you suggested. And agilebasenji, thanks for letting me know about the previous posts. Teach me for not checking out the forum properly.

pari1art - you're welcome. and sometimes when you're excited about something, it's easy not to check all the nooks and cranies.
Okay, Renndell's book is the Copper Bird with LARGE tail feathers. Or something like that.

Hana wags her tail a lot when greeting us, it sort of unrolls out, whips around, curls back up, wiggles and waggles floppily…. I was surprise how much she unrolls it and rolls it back up though, I think depending on her mood. Her happy tail flopping around is the cutest thing ever !!

That sounds really cute. The more I hear about basenjis the more I think no two are the same. LOL
