Costumes

Basenji Talk
  • That is soooooo cute and funny!

  • That is truly amazing and I love seeing the progress and then the final results. You and hubby did a wonderful job. I can't believe the way the cobra turned out! It looks authenic and so elaborate! Great job. I hope they win a prize. Did you use gauze for Lexi's mummy wraps or sheets?

  • Oh I don't know if you saw my post on Basenji Bratz, but when I made my hubby into a mummy, I dipped the material into coffee to stain it for an older effect on the wrappings. I think you can use tea or coffee.

  • @BDawg:

    Of course! You don't think we're nuts for no reason, do you? ;) There's a costume contest and dog walk that raises money for homeless dogs… And we've already signed up!! :)

    Well they better win first place!!! Cuz those are amazing

  • Hey B, that's totally AWESOME! Like someone said if anyone could do it???:rolleyes:

    You need to make sure you hang on to that and bring that boy to next's years fun Match competition…...he'd win hands down!

    Great job.

  • :) Yeah!! We're very excited! I still think we should consider something else for Lexi's costume. She didn't really like being wrapped up in the muslin pieces…lol... We'll have to work on it. WOO HOO!! First place here we come!!!!

    Yes, Lexi in rags, how dare you.:D :D :D

    Some sort of Nile Queen would be better.;)

  • A MUMMY :eek:

    Really, BDawg…it's so beneath Lexi lol :D :D

    Cleopatra? :)

  • Those are all good ideas. And I know, what was I thinking putting Lexi in rags?? Geez! She should have been Cindarella! LOL… But the only problem is that she won't tolerate ANYTHING being on her head. So doing something like Miles's costume is out of the question. She might have to be a harem girl after all. :eek:

  • I still think that is the best thing I have ever seen!

  • WOW! Those are great, particularly Miles'!! When I first saw the pic up top, I considered that it might be photoshopped..but when I realized who it was ;) I realized it was his costume! Too cool!

    Lexi looks like she just gave up! Isn't it funny how some dogs LOVE to wear costumes? Miles looks SOOOOO proud, not to mention regal!

  • I just went out at lunch and bought some muslin. I'm going to see if Talker takes to being a mummy. He usually is more tolerant than Savannah. I'll be wrapping him up this weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to get them both in a photo together.

    Thanks for the idea Lexi – sorry you weren't thrilled with being a mummy.

  • Maybe Talker will have better luck being wrapped up!! ;) You better post your pics!!

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    Here's what I've ordered for Thabo. The fact they seem to have persuaded a basenji to wear it long enough to photograph was a plus in my book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HE189G/ref=oh_emp_details_o02__i01
