    Before people will fall of their chair: Of course, I made this picture with a little help from my friend Corel draw :D :D

  • Nice work! I would have guessed Photoshop. :)

  • :D There were actually people asking me if I were insane to let my dog play with a lion :D

  • It looks like Chaffie is going to take a hunk out of the lion's hindquarter!!! Too funny!!!!

  • Hahahaha! Nice work. It looks very realistic other than the lion is a little small….... I always ask my dogs...what would you do in Africa? and they look at me like....well you would feed and take care of me of course.

    I am very amused by this – especially because people frequently ask me if Basenjis were used to hunt lions. And I usually think... It's a nice myth, but I don't really believe it, and anyway, it doesn't matter because there's no way in hell I would let my dogs run loose with lions!

    LOL Kim….. You should have responded..... "Why do you see something wrong with him playing with a big Kitty?"

  • Oh yes, the comment about basenjis killing lions. I hear that one a lot. It is almost as ridiculous as the medical doctor who was on a boat with us in Costa Rica who asked if we were going to see lions in Costa Rica. I still shake my head thinking about that. And that fact that he graduated from medical school.

  • When I had 5 basenjis, they would occasionally surround another dog and (playfully) nip at him, taking turns confusing the dog so he didn't know who to play with. I used to think, that must be how they hunt lions, they surround them and annoy them to death!

  • Forgot to add, love the photo, Kim, Chaffie is so very brave, haha!

  • Brilliant picture ! Hope he didn't hurt the Kitty :D
    When we go to Scotland on holiday, everytime we walk with the dogs around Stranraer we meet the same person who tells us very confidently that Basenjis hunt Lions. We say nothing as we don't like to disillusion them :)

    I love to watch my girls play like that - although since one of them is a basenji mix, I do hear growling, whining, yodeling, and all manner of wierd noises from Gemma. Like yours, Shaye fight/plays silent but deadly! Your pictures are wonderful. Thanks for posting.

    @Basenjimamma: Great pictures. I love the one of him in the cat bed, so comfy. Their bed is awesome, where did you get it? I like the fact that it is black, every dog bed here is either tan-ish or plaid or plain ugly… I got it at a German petstore (named Tiergarten), that petstore has a very big choice for dog-beds.. (every colour, figure etc you want, they have ) We first wanted a leather bed, but that was way too expensive.. more than 370 us dollars :eek: Besides, I don't think the B's want to sleep on a leather bed.. that's a bit cold… haha
