Olimar and "friends"

Basenji Talk
  • our roommates have two dogs. meli the jack russell and kahu the pitbull. olimar and meli seem to hit off quite well. they're pretty good friends… although i think meli is trying to teach olimar, to be more like her. our roommates don't treat her that well, which i believe makes her be the energetic terror, she is. olimar and kahu... well they play sometimes but recenlty kahu as been a bully to oli. today they were playing and kahu got a mega clamp lockdown bite on our little guy. olimar was crying, and i had to come rescue him. the pitbulls owner didn't even come and get his dog. what a trip! he didn't even say sorry! not to mention they like to abuse their dogs by hitting them, talk to them with a loud tone, and locking them in their cages all day. i feel really bad for them. i just hope olimar doesn't think that all dogs are like this.

  • Sad, any way you can get this dog away from that home and into on how will care for it properly?

  • michelle and i take him everywhere we go. we don't leave him with the other two and their owners. we try to take him to the beach, parks, friends places. we don't want to be around their owners either, so it works out. it just sucks that he has to be around it. :C

  • Well, bless your heart.
    But I am afraid this type of "rough" treatment can make this poor dog a problem, down the road.
    Why do they even have this dog?
    Status sic?

    @Knipper: Cricket canters true on left and right lead. Her flying lead changes are stunning! I wish I could get those out of Ryley! Perry does nice flying changes too, and occasionally does a simple change through trot. He is certainly smoother and more consistent than most of my horses, who will throw in a disunited stride or two on occasion! :)

    The Evergreen basenji club in Seattle has wonderful lure coursing and rally training. The basenji weekend is Aug is a great way to see b's do all sorts of activities. The dogs doing rally and lurecoursing are my fav…

    She-Ra helps clean off the Peanut Butter knife (held so she won't cut herself (even though it's a butter knife I've heard stories)) when I'm done with it. Gonna have to try the mashed potato beater this Thanksgiving (it's her first…she's seen this big bird in the fridge but can't quite figure out what to do about it! :) ).

    Basenji seem to be the masters of the non-verbal put down. And I also agree with Basenji Boy's comment, reminds of that bumper sticker: the more I know of people, the better I like my dog. What is the correct plural of Basenji? 'Basenjis' or 'Basenji'? A Yodel of Besenjis?

    If I put my arm around Nika when we're on the couch and my hand rests on her leg, she'll lick my hand for 10 minutes.
