I can't stop this feeling!!!!

Basenji Talk
  • It appears that after 2/12 years I have forgotten all the trouble Ayo was as a puppy. I can't stop thinking about adding a baby girl to our home. !!!!
    Im in no hurry, and I will definitely wait to see if i will really be moving (i don't like my apartment) this year but.. I find myself browsing in all the breeder websites.. I would love a baby black and white girl…
    oh.. oh...

  • you are in trouble…...

  • It's easier the second time around. The little one will be preoccupied with her older playmate. Plus you'll know what to expect.

  • Once puppy fever sets in you are already a lost cause :D

  • I know, it's been growing for a while, just waiting for a good excuse, somethhing other than fever to justify with, the prospect of moving is perfect!!!!….......hahahahah , just caught Ayo chewing on the bed sheets as I was writing this..!!!!!! :-)....

  • Cool blog…Moth!!!!

  • Nothing like a puppy! IMO…...... I'm sure that Ayo would love one too!

  • Ayo in march 2010…

  • hahaha, welcome to the club!
    I had Shango, my older boy, and wanted to add a second. Everyone thought I was crazy until I actually did! I rescued Newsom and now have a beautiful Basenji duo who LOVE each other and play so well. I can't imagine life with just one….it's absolutely a joy to have two and the other posters are right- the second one does seem to be easier because they have us so well trained from the first! :)

  • I worry that I may be getting in over my head, I also have Rosie, so that would make three.. I am actually a little concerned that I may not be able to handle three of them comfortably on walks etc… That it may be harder to take them places if there are three of them.... i don't know. But then I think, who cares, I'm sure it is that way for everyone that has several dogs... I think moving from here (my apartment) is definitely one thing that will help me decide. If I do move then it will be an easier decision...

  • I have permanent puppy fever but I can't until we move and shouldn't even then. I'll probably adopt an adult chow or rottie. Having lived with a fighting situation and managed it for years, I just don't want to ever do it again, and I don't want a male so I'm pretty stuck.

    It is hard to believe Ayo is so old! Oh my I remember drooling over the puppy pictures!

    So talk to breeders, get on a waiting list with them understanding you are not SURE and not for however long you think it might be before you move. Or maybe even FOSTER another dog, does not have to be a basenji, and see if handling 3 dogs is what you want to do.

  • I know.. time flies … already two and a half.......
    You are so right,, i guess the thing is I am envisioning a bit of a change in my living situation, where I may move to a bigger place and also maybe have the possibility of going to the mountains on a regular basis. This may or may not happen, but I guess I will know this year. If that happens then I definitely will want another.

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    Chris has some very nice Basenjis. None of mine are related to hers, but you have a good breeder

    @sharronhurlbut: My basenji girl always shows me up. When I am walking the dogs, folks come over and say "oh, are those the barkless dogs?" My girl ALWAYS gives one of her warning BARKS when they say this. Laugh. I tell the folks yes, they are barkless, except for my girl! So, then discussion starts, and I explain how they are not MUTE. But my girl gets me everytime! That's so funny considering we have the opposite experience. Manny baroooos like crazy at home but when we're in public and we want him to do it, he doesnt. Go figure. They have a mind of their own.
