    Somewere along the line Myran has forgotten he´s a basenji he just enjoys too much his walks it doesn´t matter if i´m looking at him with pleading eye´s and saying it´s raining sure you do not want to go for a run.Aha yes I do and tug´s at the leash to get to the ol´sheep enclosure were the nutjob will run through ditches eat mud and have a blast with his mates.So were did it go wrong I ask ??And he loves his jackets/sweaters sticks his head in by free will he´d probably wear anything just to get out and run as I said ,something went wrong in the genepool!

    The last couple of days the highs have been below zero (yesterday and this morning it was -14F/-26C when I let EL D out to go potty with two coats on). Yesterday in the early afternoon he whined and whined to go for a walk and I wasn't going to go but in the end said okay. Put his and my coats on and made it down the driveway and to the mailbox and he was pulling hard to turn around and get back in the house. He learned his lesson I guess - no more whining the rest of the day! :)

    I saw a basenji at the dog park I like to go to once, Fleet People's Park in Winter Park, FL. Was neat to actually see one up close like that for once. I've never saw a full blood one, just my mixes ;)

    I dont know in terms of distance but mine usually go at least an hour and have gone 2 or more if its cool. I think they would walk all day if I had the time because they never want to go back home though once we get home they will plop down and go to sleep like they are exhausted. Gee mom is just so mean for dragging them all over the neighborhood and keeping them away from their sleep. As was mentioned chief being tri (9 months) feels the heat more than my r/w zoe but now that the days are cooler he keeps up with her fine.

    "It was not a pleasant split….. we are glad that Judy is still here with Ru" I found it very disheartening to be pointed to a discussion about hunting basenjis, join the forum, only to see that my personal life on display by people who don't really know me. The details about my dogs and their work is really nice but Pat Fragassi's comment above was uneducated and slanderous. I have stayed off the public basenji forums in the past due to spurious comments such as Pat's here. Such provoking threads, though great for a Peyton Place type environment, are actually cruel and mean spirited. For those that want to read between Pat's lines, please understand that she does not associate with Judy or I in any social circles. She is not a confidant and obviously not a friend. She knows nothing of what she writes and is simply trying to get a reaction. Jeff Schettler

    I have a cat that will walk around in the rain, she likes it. :eek: But if it is thundering, she heads for her cat door in the garage, hates thunder. My Basenji, Sahara hates wet grass, but is better about getting a bath now that I give her a treat when we are done. We carried her out in the boat, with her lifepreserver on and she liked it Ok. She is getting better but won't go outside to potty when it is raining unless Mom goes with her on a leash and an umbrella. Hence, her name Africian Queen Sahara!!!!!!:D

    It all depends on how she was "down" for example a "crouching down" wit her body very low to the ground from head to tail & focusing on the other dog then I would say definitely pouncing position…but this could be puncing for play. My girl does this very often when she plays. If it's just down with her head up end front elbows on the ground then I would think she's just trying to send a signal...hey I don't mean any harm & I'm cool & calm :) part of their doggy language.
