Jennifer;
Thank you for the reply. Exercise is not an issue as noted above. My 15 yr old runs 5 to 6 miles a day and the younger ones do about 3. We also walk a lot as it is a small town and the neighbors, most of whom are elderly, really enjoy dogs that don't yap at them. LOL

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 :)
@YodelDogs:
When I first read the post I thought "woohoo maybe this means she will move back to Atlanta!". Then I saw the pics and said "drat".
Sorry to get your hopes up like that. But the guest room is all set up. Give me another week & I'll have the house basenji proofed, and you and your whole gang can come visit for an extended vacation!
This probably won't help, but Deke is really short for Zindeku it means "protective charm" in swahili. Thats not his registered name. His name describes his personallity now, but not when he was a puppy. He grew into it.
