Show Off Your Dog
  • Jigsaw "What's that good Basenji doing next to me? What have you done with Indy?"

  • "Hey you can't go to sleep! If I have to endure this so do you"….nudge

  • Yesterday's pix list finalists were:

    "As soon as she is really asleep, I'm stealing her presents!" from Anne
    Indy: "Oh Lord! Who knew a little Basenji could snore so loud!" from Rose
    ?We?d better get a LOT of treats for putting up with this.? from Peggy
    "You think there was something in those treats we ate? Jigsaw? Jigsaw?" from Kevin & Amy
    "I'm sleeping with one eye open – if Santa doesn't get here soon, those cookies are MINE!" from Chey
    "How can she sleep at a time like this???? Doesn't she realize how ridiculous we look??!!!!!!!!!!!" from Dawn
    Indy: that hat looks mighty tasty. Jigsaw: fine, whatev. u can have it. I'm done here. from Diana
    "Indy getting ready to pounce on yet another festive holiday pom pom." from Sam
    "Shhh, Mom, Jigaw is asleep. What should we dress her up as now? I am sure we could do something with whipped cream and silly string without too much noise." from J.R.
    and:
    You reading:
    "Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter.... "
    Indy: "Noooooo! Was it a burglar? I bet it was a burglar? What do'ya say Jigsaw, a burglar, like a cat burglar?"
    "Jigsaw?"
    Jigsaw: "Zzzzz...." from Linda

    Only 2 days left! It's almost CHRISTMAS!! Today Indy demonstrates that one size does NOT fit all. This must be what it's like to dress an uncooperative toddler. The 11th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!

  • "Umm…..does this outfit make my butt look big??"

  • Yesterday's pix list finalists are:

    "Don't you turn your head and laugh at me! It's not my fault that
    Mama shrunk my coat in the wash and no one will be able to read my Ho!
    Ho! Ho!" from Dawn
    "The effects of too many cookie samples while baking Santa's treats were immediately apparent…" from Jo Lynne
    "Indy is slightly bloated from his holiday pom pom diet." from Sam
    "Yikes..is she kidding! I can't breathe..gasp gasp" from Judy
    "Maybe you?ll listen next time when I tell you these things shrink when you pee on them!" from Mike
    "Oh, Mom! Slim, young gals should not be walking bulletin boards for fat, old guys. Indy on the other hand ...
    Mom, Jigsaw just called me fat!" from J.R.
    "Ok, now something is not right - yours fits and what the heck happened to mine?????????????" from Sue
    and
    Indy: "Does this outfit make me look fat?"
    Jigsaw: "Define fat? A pregnant Holstein Cow ready to give birth sort of fat? Or I ate one too many ding dongs after dinner sort of fat?"
    Indy: "The first fat."
    Jigsaw: "Oh then, yes it does!" from - you guessed it - Linda :-)

    Time flies - here we are at the end already. Today Indy seems to want the spotlight all for himself. Poor Jigsaw's going to go find herself a chair of her own! The 12th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!

  • The final batch of finalists are:

    "That was eggnog? I didn't know it made you faw down!" from Chris
    Indy: "I got a mani, pedi for Christmas. See."
    Jigsaw: "Real men don't get mani, pedi's Indy."
    Indy: "THEY DO TOO JIGSAW! That's why it's called a MANicure, not a WOMANicure. Tell her what you told me yesterday Mom!"
    You: "Ummmm, about yesterday…" from Linda
    "Indy...I can't take this anymore. Jigsaw...pipe down.. we need to please mom one more day!!!!
    Smile and say Merry Christmas!!!" from Judy
    "Raise your right paw and repeat after me. "I, Indy, promise not to bother Jigsaw's Christmas presents in exchange for her not eating my foot."
    Indy, that is your left paw!" from J.R.
    and
    "Hahahahaha! That was the best one yet!" from Dawn

    I also have to thank any of you who voted for us in the dachshund photo contest - we WON!!! Don't tell the dachshund people I said so, but...basenjis rule, dachshunds drool!! ;-)

    As our finale and our Christmas card to everyone, here is the proof that in spite of all the bloopers, I still managed to get some good photos! Jigsaw and Indy deserve all the credit for really being very good - in their minds these photo sessions are just "fun" - with lots of treats and new "toys" to play with!

    Merry Christmas to everyone!

  • Thank you Marie, this was most entertaining. Merry Christmas today to you and your puppies!

  • Merry Christmas! I enjoyed all your pictures, just couldn't think up any clever captions. :)

  • @eeeefarm:

    Merry Christmas! I enjoyed all your pictures, just couldn't think up any clever captions. :)

    what she said! all the pic were so much fun to look at!

  • I got the doggies the wrong way round, so apologies. The reason being that Indy looks a bit like my boy, who was nearly named Jigsaw….

  • Thanks to all of you who enjoyed the photos and those who contributed caption ideas. It's something I have fun with every year. I just can't let all the out-take photos go to waste! :-)

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.
  • Merry Christmas to all Basenjis and their people

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
  • Basenji or not??

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
