Smart, sad dog

Basenji Talk

  • Andrew just left for a 10 day trip. He's been packing all day, and we just took everything down to the car. He came back upstairs to say goodbye to the kids. Booger sat on his feet & leaned against his leg & made a grumbly noise. He stared at the floor & wouldn't make eye contact. He knew Andrew was leaving, and he was sad :(


  • Oh so sad :( but just imagine how happy he'll be when Andrew returns :)


  • The reunion will be joyful.


  • My DH leaves for long trips all the time, and Jack always knows what is going on and hates it….however, every time he comes back, no matter if it has been 2 weeks or 6 months, Jack is just so happy to see him. I always am impressed that Jack remembers him. But, as everyone has said, the reunion will be so sweet....

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    Too funny - it reminds me of my previous beastie's tricks. I would sit down to lunch when he would distract me by doing something he knew he shouldn't. When I got up to go see - he'd go around to the kitchen the other way (I have two entries into the kitchen) and snatch the sandwich off the table. :D

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    @Vegas: We're all committed to the basenji, because the little tools have a way of capturing our hearts… I think basenji owners are a pretty tight-knit group. The ways basenjis affect our lives are so similar, it's hard to not find something in common with other basenji owners. I think this may be the "same page" Andrea was speaking of!
