Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! Yes Rescuing is the best option. Sure it is a no kill shelter but it makes room for new dogs to be rescued and it puts her in a wonderful home! She is SLOWLY coming along. She likes to try to come up in my lap now. Shes a wonderful lil dog and Anubis LOVES having someone his size around. She "Smiles" she will get excited and show all of her teeth and wag her tail…I try to get pics but she always gets scared of the camera.
New theory of dog domestication
-
I thought some of you might enjoy this little clip taken this morning of my Paya (AKC registered basenji : Lukuru na Liboso Mopaya) watching the Oscar nominated short film - "Adam and Dog" (film by Minkyu Lee).
I'm sharing my video because I think it is sort of ironic that my girl Paya (6 years old) appears to be totally engrossed in this little video.
I won't even begin to go into all the things that are wrong with this depiction of the "first dog."
But my Paya, who was born in the very heart of the Congo, seemed to be rather perplexed by the new theory of dog domestication.

How cool to have a Basenji born in it's origin country, you are very lucky.

Very cute Jo. Love the head tilts, they always look so involved when something catches their interest.

Ohhh, there's nothing wrong with this depiction of the "first dog." It's a fantasy, and a beautifully rendered one at that.
Having seen all the entries, I'm really hoping this takes the Oscar for best animated short film this year. fingers crossedThe video was great too! You should send it to the animators.
