Settling In..

    so its been a week now since Ebony has come to stay with us.

    shes fitting in perfectly. i have forgotten what its like to have a puppy around (have to put things away again! she lovvves undies lol) but apart from that shes fitting in great.

    found out that her & Hope share the same dad too so they are actually half sisters! we have decided to keep her (and the land lady has approved) YAY!

    She is a big on cuddles and loves sleeping on her back with her legs in the air lol (Hope only does this sometimes - i think its hilarious) she has the cutest personality on her. they walk great together (no leash aggression). eat treats together (however i do feed them separately at dinner time - but they will only eat if they can see each other lol) and generally get up to mischief together double trouble OR Ebony gets up to mischief when Hope knows better and Hope sits there with the whole innocent i had no part in this look. how can one get mad at a basenji :rolleyes:

    Hope had an obsession with toilet rolls when she was a pup. Ebony does too. Hope had grown out of it and we could leave the bag of toilet rolls in the toilet with no fear of it being attacked. BRAIN FART! … Ebony thought that would be something awesome to shred... so i walk into my lounge room (i was gone outside for like 2 mins) to find what was left of 8 shredded toilet rolls... and both basenjis in the middle of it (Hope couldnt help herself on that one n had to join in). So i roused on them and quickly tidied up the 8 shredded rolls... still trying to think of a way to explain the disappearance of several rolls and why the few that i could save have bite marks in them, to the other half giggle

    if toilet rolls are my only issues - im laughing hehe (i vote that it was my fault for leaving them there anyway - omg havent the basenjis got us trained!)

    heres some cute pics of the girls together :)

    we are getting our SANTA PAWS photos done tomorrow with Santa ($10 - goes to the RSPCA) so that will be fun. Will have to post the photo when we get it.

    yes, i think so too.

    it rained all day today. so i forced the girls to go outside while there was a break in the rain cos they were starting to go stir crazy in the house (getting up to mischief he he). got a pretty pic of them trying to hug the house so they didnt get their paws wet. he he as well as some wrestle time inside.

    never thought id have two basenji's but they are the best (and even the OH agrees with me he he)

    What a great picture of the two of them sharing a bed! It looks like they have been friends forever. I find it usually takes a bit longer for dogs to share a sleeping space.

    I agree with Patty… it looks like they have known each other for a lifetime already! Isn't it wonderful when that happens? Such lovely girls! And I am so happy that your landlady has allowed you to have both of them. I think she deserves a wee Christmas gift. :D

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    Poor Cody! It was hard on Spencer (and me!) when we moved cross-country. At first, he would go and sit by the front door, waiting for someone to take him "home." I bought him new toys to play with and he would carry them to the door, sit beside them and wait. It took a few weeks, but he settled in. He still gets anxious when I bring in boxes, though.
