Basenji Talk
  • Jasper's brother Talon, and Raven's Brother Grinner are coming to Basenji Park for a visit on Fri and will stay with us through next week.:eek: :D Darn relatives anyway!:rolleyes:

    5 males and 3 females???:eek: :eek: :eek:

    All 8 won't be together at one time…....;)

    Should be an active week.:cool: The Basenji B&B is closer to reality than I think.:D

  • Oh my! My BP is rising just thinking about it ;) Have fun!

  • @Quercus:

    Oh my! My BP is rising just thinking about it ;) Have fun!

    Yeah, it looks to me like we'll get a taste of what it's like shuffling three groups around.:rolleyes:

    I can only imagine the sounds that will be emanating from our house.:eek:

    Thankfully, it's only a week or so.:D

    At least you know what to do with so many B's. With me, every day would seem like a week! :eek: Good luck - Try and get a group picture . . .:D

    It should be an adventure, I'll be sure to update as the week goes on.

    We'll see if we can do the group picture.:eek: :eek: :eek: I love a challenge!:D

    How Will They All Fit In The Bed? You May Have To Sleep On The Floor :)

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    We do have four sleep with us…......and a Terrier mix thrown in for good measure......everyone seems to find a spot.:D

    Our two oldest, sleep with my oldest Son......seems fitting.:)

    I think the two visitors are crate sleepers, they may be bunking in with my other Son.....but in crates. He could put them in his bed if he wants to.

    We could just spoil them to death and when the owner picks them up tell her..........Oh yeah, by the way.....we fixed them so they don't need to sleep in crates anymore.:eek: :D :D :D :D :cool:

  • what do your neighbors thing? do you have a ton of land? I would love to see pics and stories as your week progresses.

  • @Mantis:

    Not a lot of land…..an acre.......out in the country though. The B's don't make noise and most neighbors don't even know we have them.

    Someone close to us have Husky's or something similar and they howl like wolves......... a lot. That would drive me nuts!

    I will take pics Mantis.....count on it!;)

  • OMG! Get prepared - and lots of rest while you can! Looking forward to the stories and pictures! Lots of luck!

  • @nala121498:

    I was kinda counting on you to come down and lend a hand.:D :D :D :D

    Little Miss Basenji B&B:D :D :D :rolleyes:

  • Sure…I'll be there for the color commentary, as you chase them around!

  • @nala121498:

    I guess I'm going to have to break the news to Talon and Grinner…....no pumpkin soup Boys! They'll be devastated! Live with that if you can.:D :D

  • Can't wait to see the pics!! :)

  • @BDawg1005:

    Can't wait to see the pics!! :)

    We had 8 B's here when your guys paid us a visit.;) :D :cool:

  • Oh yes please do share LOTS of pics and maybe some video too, IM SURE youll have PLENTY of video worth activity!!

  • We had a big get together once at our house and it was great seeing a large pack of basenji's running loose. Great fun

    The funny part was telling which dog was yours. It's not that easy to tell when they are constantly moving about.

    While out in the yard an unlucky chipmonk made an apperance and darned if 10 basenji;s could not catch that thing!

    Be sure to get pictures!

  • I want to know what your gonna be doing with all your free time. :confused:
    I gotta believe your going with the "More is better theory". :rolleyes:
    That being said, you should be bored to death. :o (In theory :p )

  • You sure you don't want TWO MORE to visit…I mean just to make things challenging right?! :eek: Let me know if you need extra staff so I can send over DH :D

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.
  • 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…
  • Who's training whom?!?!

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    @Lenora: She had got up from her nap, gone into the bedroom and knocked the ironing board over on her head, all in the space of less than a minute! LOL. Bella almost beaned herself during Christmas. She jumped up on the hearth and tried to pull down one of the stockings. It was held up by a very heavy wrought iron stocking holder. I heard it hit the floor and came into find her with the stocking in her mouth. It must have just missed her by an inch or so. She had gone for 3 weeks with no interest in the stockings. Don't know why they managed to get her attention that particular day. I sure hope she calms down at least a little bit when she's older. :eek:

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
