    Malaika is now 16 months old and Kwame 16 weeks, here's a little update.
    Malaika is now working for her Gold award and is a very beautiful Princess Basenji :D
    Kwame has just started Puppy foundation classes and has got off to a promising start.
    We are finding it very interesting to compare the two and watch their interactions with each other. Not sure at this point whose going to be boss.
    In class, Kwame is a bit calmer to handle than Malaika was at the same age and seems as if he'l be easier to train on the lead.
    Malaika is more laid back about food, Kwame is obsessive about it and we will need to work on his resourse guarding food around Malaika.
    They both get on realy well together, getting into mischief around the house etc. Malaika can be a terrible torment, especialy when Kwame is tired and won't play. She waits untill he's going to sleep and then comes over and gives him a good hard jab with her paw :eek: . Needless to say it's not well recieved.
    They do love each other, realy

    ;) The Cat in the first picture is an ornament, it's a winstanley cat with specialy made glass eyes, they appear to look at you wherever you are in the room.

    Oakley is 15 months and I use a martingale collar but no matter howuch training he still seems to "cart pull" as I call it, his head goes down and he digs in to pull, I'm looking into getting a hurtta harness but don't know which is better for pulling- the Y harness or the regular one I see Chaffie wearing

    @renaultf1: Shelley, your captions always crack me up. They both look great together. If it is Malaika looking out to sea, perhaps she is thinking, "oh, that would be a good place for Kwame." lol She told me that was indeed what she was thinking,lol

    That's progrees - the bandage coming off. I don't suppose it matters if he llicks it unless he does it excessively. Poor, poor paw, Kwame.

    @moetmum: A basenji with a KC Gold GC! That just doesn't seem right! You should be really proud of her, that is a real achievement. Don't forget to let us know when she gets it. Hey she hasn't got it yet , Gerry ;) I hope she does, there is such a lot to it. We struggle a bit with heeling off lead.

    thanks everyone for your comments, yes we had a great time and are going back very soon. Renault i said to Howard that we should hang around in case Princess Anne was interested in the Basenjis. He wasn't impressed ;) I think she has Staffies. I agree a pic of her with Kwame and Malaika rooting through her handbag would have been priceless :D

    @Mantis: How old is she? Tell us more about her. She is so cute! When we got her (late Oct 2006) the vet thought she was 9-12 mos based on teeth. Over the months she has been getting more spots on her belly. Dont know if that gives any sign of age or not. She seems smaller than some of the Basenjis on this site. She is very thin and muscular. Is there a difference between sizes Male vs females? Could she have been a runt?
