Finally In Our New Home

Basenji Talk
  • So we moved into our new house this past weekend and are now getting settled. Chance has been acting strange which we expected. He isn't used to so much noise. The neighborhood we moved into is still buidling homes next to us so during the day the construction workers are outside making noise. He keeps pacing back and forth from the door to the window whining. Its hard to tell now when he really needs to go outside to potty or if he just wants to go out and investigate. :rolleyes:
    He has started to shake though like he is cold. I can't figure this out. Its not even cold in our house. He will just sit there and whine and shake. Why does he do that?????

    He is just in a strange place (for him) all new stuff, new smells, new sounds… it will take some adjustment...

  • Dallas sometimes will shake a little if he is nervous, in a new place, etc. He loves going to new places but I noticed when I tried taking him to a new petstore the other day (vs the same one we have been going to) he was shaking a little while I had him in my arms walking into the store, like he was nervous. I wouldn't worry too much unless it continues for a while.

  • Nerves. Nala is not happy with change or when she goes to visit somewhere. It takes her a while to settle down.
    Don't worry, give it time…he'll settle in.

  • mia and rocky both shaKE in the car..

    mia cries the whole time too..

    @rugosa LOL on the pig ear. But it's not just a basenji trait. One night it was storming and one of my rotts was fixated on one of the bedroom windows. I looked, there was a toad on the screen! The dog was so intense about wanting to get to it, my daughter went out in the rain and moved it from the window. From then until she died, day or night, I had to let her in the bedroom when it stormed to make sure the once-in-a-lifetime visitor wasn't there. They think more than many people give them credit for.

    You might want to introduce them one at a time too. Our B Samantha gets a bit edgy when there are two dogs approaching at the same time - kind of feels like she's getting ganged up on and gets defensive.

    Hollie would simply chew up the plastic bottle to get to the treats. She has done this with EMPTY bottles. That's my B!

    I think an original idea should be developed that is associated with bs. The weims dressed up is so classic for them. Bs should somehow be associated with messes. Maybe they should be paired with new furniture advertising or TP sales!!! Weims became so popular tho, they are having probs in rescue. They are very high energy and most people can't give them enough exercise. I think my idea would prevent Bs from becoming too popular and lots more ending up in rescue. :D
