Yep, we bath them when they're dirty.




  • :D :D :D :D :D Dirty dogs!:rolleyes:
    Willy and Jasper where away at a show, the girls decided on a dust bath and a nap.:D :D :D :D


  • LOL…. Mine love to lay in the dirt... I have a huge yard with "nice" grass... and they choose to lay in the dirt!...


  • So that's what ya did on vacation?! :rolleyes:


  • @srjeeper:

    So that's what ya did on vacation?! :rolleyes:

    I planted stuff, did yard work, they just got dirty and slept.:rolleyes: They enjoyed being out in the sun it was a great weather week. Had our first rabbit kill of the year.:rolleyes:


  • We've been calling Nala "Mud Girl" for the past two weeks…who said they were clean??? LOL!


  • @tanza:

    These guys certainly have nicer spots to lay than that and they do the same.:rolleyes: If it isn't mud, it's dusty dirt.:rolleyes: They'd plop down somewhere and a little dust cloud would come up…...:eek: :D


  • We had to give baths this week too but it was the goose poop that was so nauseatingly inviting that both "ruffians" had to roll in it and were so proud. They smelled so disgusting:eek:


  • Basenji Boy your babies are just beautiful! Even dirty. ;)


  • :D Penny and Raven both look as proud as peacocks of themselves! :rolleyes: Storm is SO jealous that they managed to get a rabbit! He was hot on the trail of one tonight - thought for sure it was a goner, but it ducked into a burrow and left Storm whining and digging in the dirt trying to paw it out :) Of course, the rabbit didn't comply :rolleyes: , but you try telling a basenji to give up! :D Finally I did lure him away with a tasty homemade beef jerky treat. :rolleyes: I guess his motto is "a treat in the hand (and belly!) is worth 2 rabbits in the bush!" ;)

    Max actually opened the sliding glass door…..oh around 1am or so and went out. My Son said he thought he was out there an awfully long time and went out to see what he was up to. Max was digging under a little deck we have our grille on and pulled out a rabbit......he didn't eat it and gave it right to Lee, dead of course:( . Penny and Cleo would've eaten it for sure.....good luck getting it off of them.:rolleyes:


  • I'm sorry…I just have to say this..."EEEEW" (LOL)!


  • Aw…dirty little dogs :)

    I spent part of my Sunday mulching the "racetrack" the dogs have made in the back corner of the yard. I was tired of having mudders trying to come in and lounge on the furniture (I do have some house pride!) I actually had to hose them off one day, because they were so muddy I couldn't get them into the house without getting mudded myself, and we were on our way out of the house. Talk about unhappy Basenjis! I think my neighbors were concerned that I was beating the dogs judging by the screams.

    So anyhow, I mulched the entire path, over the hill, around the woodpile, behind the pines, along the fence......so far...clean feet!

    That's kind of how I do it too. They run and cause little trails, holes where they go around something…....very much like a race track. Mulch and stone are my basic materials!

    What we do for these critters.:rolleyes:


  • I even noticed that Nala has "carved" out her own little trail of mud - she races the cars as they drive up the road. That's where she's getting muddy (there is still some run-off from melting snow). Maybe little tiny paver stones…hee hee

    @Kananga: He manages to keep them short on his own. Probably due to how stubborn he is on walks at times (really digs into the asphalt/concrete). . My girl Shaye is the same - - she's now 3, and I'm trying the Gentle Leader. Her "sister" Gemma is settling into it quite nicely, not pulling any more - Shaye still throws herself on the ground, digs her face into the dirt, lays down and won't get up - won't pee or poo on walks - obviously it's going to take longer for her to decide to just cooperate with it. She will or she won't, I can't have her digging and pulling constantly, my hands are nearly useless from it.

    Ono is a Hawaiian word, used to describe something that is 'the best' AND happens to be very basenji appropriate :) We hesitated naming her something that so strongly resembled 'no' but we don't use 'no' very much in our training, we say 'hey' to get their attention and then give them another cue to follow when we are redirecting their behaviour. The pups love the huge costco bed, and I love the great cedar smell :)
  • Yep… I'm comfortable.

    @Humanoid: Love those pictures :) I've been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Surprised to see how many of you that actually was cycling….but it is kind of flat, so you don't have the same challenges as us up here :p Yeah, everybody has a bike here. I'm used to cycle around 20-30 km a day (school). So we make up for the flatness, by cycling for a long distance :p @Humanoid: In the winter, we just have to do other stuff … That's just great!! Looks like a lot of fun! It has been a long time since we had real snow and ice in the Netherlands..
