My B loves to go for walks

Basenji Talk
  • so much that if we are not walking her as much as she thinks we should she will whine, wag her curled up tail, baroo, trot from my husband to either the back door or the fence gate (depending on if my husband is outside or inside) and if none of these work fast enough for her, she starts to jump up on my husband over and over. She is funny to watch…of course she DOES get her way even if we are too tired :rolleyes: then it is a shorter walk. I realize that Bs enjoying walking and they do need the exercise but sometimes it is hard to get up the energy to take her. Jojo is 11 yrs so it is not like she has to be kept under the rule of thumb that "a tired Basenji is a good Basenji". Of course while on the walk she just HAS to smell EVERYTHING sticking above the ground:eek: ...street sings, mail boxes. bushes, trees, fire hydrants, etc...What a wonderful breed!!!:)

    Q
    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(
  • 2 B's or NOT 2 B's…. That is the question!!!!

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    Abbey was almost banned from my son's house after she killed the cat's feather on a stick thingy. We don't have our own cat although she'd like to have one of her own. She loves cats!

    Basenjis are affectionate on their own terms… some are, some are not... you need to remember they are an independent, thinking dog, meaning they are always looking for "What's in it for me". Also, since she is new to your home and already a young adult, it will take time for her to warm up to you and show her true feelings. Many Basenjis do not lick and the ones that do are enough to drive you over the edge.ggg... my oldest girl never licks... never has.... except when wet...
