"A Tired Basenji Is A Happy Basenji"

Basenji Talk
  • I would assume you were holding the lead in your hand and that is definitely a recipe for disaster. I hope you and the bike did not sustain any major damage :-)
    I considered the bungee as a shock absorber, but usually, Jenny is pulling forward and I rarely have to make a quick stop so I can slow her down.

    I also noticed that EVERY time we go for a run, Jenny will want to poop some time during the run, even if she went 20 minutes earlier.

  • I have seen some people use this…any thoughts??

    BillyK-this is sort of the same physics involved with what you were saying.

    I'm not an expert bike rider so hence my hesitation with using this on a regular bike….So I was thining of getting this & using it on an adult trike.

  • What a cool idea. And I ALREADY own a bike!!!

  • Yeah, I have a friend with one of those, but $48 is way more than the cost of a leash and a harness. He says the breakaway release is good if you find that don't pay attention to where your dog is all of the time. I don't know if the breakaway sets the dog free or not, but that would be the end of my basenji (cars are just giant rabbits to her).

  • I strongly believe a tired Basenji is an angelic Basenji. I finally figured out how to strap the backpack on it fits perfectly. I took the weights off my ankle weights and put a 1lbs. weight on each side. Well I'll tell you this makes all the difference. I only use it if I can't run with my B due to weather or if we are just going to go for a 20 min. walk. He comes home still alittle wired but after settling down he is relaxed the rest of the day. This is great.

  • ha ha lol lol :D :D :D that's GREAT!!! I'm glad u figured out the backpack…it takes a while, I know :D

  • It's funny to see him wearing it but it's my favorite buy. People make jokes about him carrying his own lunch. But hey it will be great in the summer time, now i have a place to keep the plastic poopie bags and keys.

  • Where did you find the backpack?

  • I went keyed in hounddog packback and i showed me some lists. I will try to look for the link and send it to you.

  • I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around.
    Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!

    @B5004EVER , sounds familiar! Yes, they do like to make themselves comfy at your expense. One of mine liked to sleep horizontal across the bed, leaving my husband and me to cling to the edges, as you describe. Another caused us to almost die.....laughing. The covers were pushed up, and when we moved them we discovered her sleeping on her back, legs in the air, little butt right next to our heads! Hysterical! But most of the time our Basenjis were trouble free sleeping companions, although on occasion they did snore....

    @sharronhurlbut: We are doing a 10 hr drive to Id next week. The b's sleep and only want out when we stop for gas. I need to get out and walk the dogs because I get too stiff just sitting. Ah, old age! LMAO sharon…..the older I get, the more I realize the B's can often tolerate the long hauls better than this menopausal mom. :D

    @etzbseder: Luckily, at my parents house, their dog has put smudges all over that door, and Medjai just scratches at it when he wants in. (I know I shouldn't reward it, but he wants in). I had Medjai yelp once when jumping off the bed, which is strange because he likes to sit on my shoulders and has jumped off there to chase animals without a problem. Keoki scratches when he wants in – started when we taught him to ring bells that were hanging, but the bells have disappeared "literally", so now he just scratches. Drives my husband crazy, but hey! Jazzy just sits quietly and winds up staying outside far longer than she wants to because I don't know she wants in. Keoki jumps up and scratches loudly.. guess who gets first?
