What's That Magic Word

Basenji Talk
  • If my wife says the word "Puppies" with the right tone in her voice, they know they are going to get something good.

    Also, the are addicted to Greenies (which unfortunately they can chew in 30 seconds with the new softer composition), so if she says "Greenie Time" or even askes "What Time is IT?" they will immediately run over tot eh place we keep the greenies.

    Also, if we ask "Who's Here?" they will run all around looking for the visitor.

  • We have a few of the "usual" words – esp. "cookie" -- but what really gets both B's going -- or should I say coming running from even a different room --
    is if they hear Gypsy's jaw snap, as in "she just got food, what's in it for us".

    Amazing the distance from which they can hear Gypsy get a bite of anything. LOL

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    @snorky998: You guys got me laughing as I picture "Elaine" from the 'Friends' TV series when she thinks she's the great dancer, and she really appears to be in some sort of zen spaz attack.:D I think you are thinking of Elaine from Seinfeld…. but that is exactly what I was thinking of

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!

    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.
