    This may be the first and last pictures of Zahra kayaking - she hated it AGAIN and kept trying to jump out of the kayak and swim to the shore. Looks like she will be spending time at the Doggie resort or with friends while we go out with Chase (our Puggle who loves the water)


    What I love about this photo is that she has this look on her face that makes me think that she is begging DH to save her and take her home. Poor Zahra. :(

    This trip today confirmed it for me - B's are not water dogs. :rolleyes:

    Poor Zahra, you can send her down to Carolina and me and Sahara will take care of the sweetheart, bad mommy making a Basenji go on the water. Do I see a lifepreserver on her. We took Sahara on the river with us last summer, of course we bought her a lifepreserver, it was soooooo cute on her. We are planning on taking her this year soon as well, she tolerated it good. DH got in the water with her and I put her over, she stayed real close to him but I think she liked it. It was very hot that day and I think she liked getting cooled off. Pictures were good even though Zahra looked miserable, haha!!!!!

    I know, I am really mean - when I put the life jackets on them today I could not stop laughing. That probably sounds horrible. :D

    I may have to drop her off at your house, you are not that far. She would probably be much happier than she was today. Can't wait to see you guys on the 24th!

    Great pics - I've often thought of taking Nala out on Lake Champlain or to Lake George - I love those little PFDs for doggies! Keep at it!!

    Jenn - I'm a little curious . . . Did Zahra make any noises out on the water? Though her eyes are locked on your DH, she looks like she's being a sport about it. Really cool pictures - Thanks for sharing your adventure!

    Well unless there was something in the water that she wanted… like say a "duck".. think you would have a complete different expression... :)

    LOL, that is awesome! Well you tried it once and that is all it takes. Good try. I am sure if the kayak was filled with dog food it would have been an easy ride:)

    ChaseandZarhrasmom, we are taking Dash Canoeing in a couple weeks, where did you get the lifepreserver? Do they just have them at PetSmart?

    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]

    Rafismom, we started him out in a crate, but he hated it. Cried something fierce. We then started leaving him in my son's room, and he was absolutely fine….well, until he started crying again. Then we gave him roam of the house while we were gone, and have had no problems at all. Yes, I know. I'm lucky! He absolutely hates for us to leave, but he's good while we are gone. No complaints here, for sure. Maybe it's the possible black lab that mixed in that makes him so calm? He has his moments, especially outside when he sees a squirrel, etc., but overall he's a very calm pooch. Just last week, I was walking the dog at a local park when I hear a woman saying something about the dog. She was a good distance away. I then realize she was talking to me and asked if my dog was friendly. I said, "yes" and she came over to pet him. She told me that the dog reminded her of her first dog. She said her first dog was a basenji. After more chatting, she said that it was actually a basenji mix, but that my dog looked a lot like hers. She told me how much she loved that dog and told me all sorts of stories about her. Such a nice lady. Gave me a few bits of advice and about a half hour later we parted ways. This is my first dog, and I've been amazed at how friendly other dog people are when I'm walking him. This has been a great experience.

    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.
