Fashion parade

  • L

    We've all been talking about what our basenjis will be wearing for cooler weather. In my neighborhood there is a very elegant looking older gentleman who owns five mini greyhounds. They are so well behaved it makes Abbey looks like a Tasmanian devil! They trot past in perfect formation, every head up and eyes forward. They pay no attention to other dogs, which of course is a burr under Miss Abbey's saddle because she's ready to take 'em all on. But I can't wait every fall to see what the dogs will be wearing. They seem to have matching coats for every day of the week, red plaid, blue plaid and burberry. No camouflage for these guys. No cheap brown and orange sweaters from WalMart. No Beach Bum or I'm a Diva tshirts. They may have their own individual closets or their own rooms, I don't know. I'd love to ask the man but he marches right on past just like his dogs do with his nose in the air.:)

    LOL…I can just picture it! It reminds me of an old memory from growing up: a man in our neighborhood with 5 Manchester Terriers would parade around pooping on everyone else's lawns, except his -- of course! This was before the clean up laws...and doggie sweaters, I guess!!
    Thanks for the laugh...be sure to let us know "what they are wearing this year"!

    I like the name "Fashion Parade", maybe it should be a topic here on Basenji Forums under "Show Off Your Dog". For members who like to dress up their Basenji(s).

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!
