Meet Chipley

Basenji Talk
  • what a cutie! and he goes with your color scheme

  • Chipley is a great dog - for his first visit to the park last week he did very very well - got along with everybody, even Miss Snarky, and you know who I mean! We all knew this would not be a "foster." Glad to hear Nicky is improving - and that she is accepting of the new boy in the house as well.

  • Good to meet Chipley. I hope Nicky is continuing to improve.

  • Thanks to everyone for the 'welcome' for Chip. Nicky is much improved, almost back to normal.:D

  • I think Chipley is very handsome! It's always hard to get a good photo of a black dog, and he looks so beautiful in yours. Congratulations! And I am very happy to hear that Nicky is improving. Best of luck to you.

  • There is a problem with Chipley: He loves to play/swim in the water at the beach.

    Now I have a wet, sandy dog to wash every night; all our 'water-dog-friends' are laughing at me now, I have been a lazy dog owner with my clean dry basenjis

    Seriously, if I could have designed the perfect adult dog to join our household, it would be Chip.

  • Anne..I am so happy to "meet" chipley..he is adorable, sounds like the perfect match with your pack and household..can't wait to see more of him.
    I am also so happy to hear that Nicky is doing better and better every day..jippea.

  • Handsome indeed! any idea how old? are those lighter whiskers down his muzzle?? Just curious; and Uzie said he wanted to meet him too! Give Nicky a big kiss for us! Deb PS: is Nicky eating up to par? if she is not on a restricted diet, those Silk Balls should be good. I made a rendition of them (and not as many as the original recipe) for Uzie, just oatmeal and ground chuck though. He mended well and gained his weight back. The only repercussion from the meatballs was that he thought they tasted just as good the 'second time around…' Now I am testing pineapple bits just like an episode from Victoria Stillwell. Supposedly the pineapple acts as a deterrent for the taste. I think it is working....

  • Very handsome boy your a great mom. Great and loving foster care I like your style.

  • Chipley is such a great addition for us! Thanks to everyone for kind welcoming words.

    As for Nicky, she is eating Hills I/D in 4 small feedings a day, I add a little plain rice, or small bits of chicken to add variety and so far she is eating it. (She is allowed plain rice, plain pasta or chicken as treats), hopefully we can resume fairly normal food in a few weeks. She is back to normal, outwardly anyway.

    Helena, yes we are going to keep in touch, i have sent them a link to Sally's site. They couldn't find the paperwork for the dogs but one of the dogs came from a wing commander ? and they remember the name Horsley, another dog came from Liverpool. They belonged to the nbs in the 70's.

    I will admit that catching the basenji does get easier. My boyz (now 14 and 15 years) are much, much easier to catch. ;-) Actually Jet the trying has decided he hates being outside, even if the weather is nice. Except yesterday. He wanted to stay outside so he could eat grass and throw up. It's hard to find nice edible grass in January in Colorado.

    I can leave mine loose in the car as long as there is more than one -the only time I've had damage (which included seat belts!) is when one's been left on their own. I would never leave the car running though and I always leave it in gear (I don't have internal locking either).
  • I got to meet….

    Jill, Chase and Zahra played with ours so much the first few days that my husband was gone (he just left on deployment) that the batteries are already dead. I am glad that Duke loves the ball! Seko, You could probably order one of these online at one of the links I added. I would get the one with the lights it seems like it is much more entertaining for them and worth the money! Jenn
