She's A Lady

Basenji Talk

  • For the past few weeks we have been preparing for Kiya to go into her first heat. She has been exhibiting all the signs. Cranky, needy, kind and loving one moment and evil the next….oah wait...she is like that everyday. LOL :D

    Well the wait is finally over and it couldn’t of come at a better time. Of course, Alex just left on business and i'm alone with the dogs. I come home from work to find little droplets all over the place. At first I immediately thought one of my fur kids injured themselves. I frantically ran over to them checking paws, ears, mouth, everything except for Ms. Kiya’s back end. Unbeknownst to me she is now in heat. I clean up the floors but continue to find fresh spots all over my furniture and floors yet I can’t figure out where its coming from. After a few minutes of scratching my head and thinking I am losing my mind I realize its my girl!!!
    What an exciting moment. I swooped my little girl up and gave her the biggest hug and jetted off to the pet store to find some puppy panties.

    After finding the right size I proceeded to put a pair on her and she actually doesn’t mind wearing them!!! Thank God!!!!!!! I was seriously considering duct taping them to her. She wears her little designer jean panties all over the house. Its quite funny to watch her strut her stuff. LOL


  • I started singing Tom Jones' "She's a Lady" and I thought "Why am I singing…" and looked back at the subject line. Oh. Right....

    Hooray for tolerating puppy panties!

    "Whoa whoa whoa she's a lady..
    And now she gets to strut
    'round the house in her
    super fancy panties
    Whoa whoa whoa..."

    Thanks to music nerd Liz for telling me who sings that because I had no idea.


  • Your in for a fun laugh, cough, lie month!
    Do keep us informed.


  • She is going to be just about dead in season at the Santa Rosa shows…. make sure you keep her well away from the boys!!!! and tell everyone that she is in season.... No talking to Kobey for her!!!!


  • Talk about perfect timing Pat. Should be for an interesting weekend. LOL
    Poor boys….they are going to go mad.
    Here are a few pictures I took of Kiya showing off her "super fancy puppy panties" (thanks mauigirl....thats awsome!)


  • Just make sure you're not singing "That's why the lady is a tramp"

    Too Funny!


  • She seems not to mind the panties..
    I am surprised.
    I hear most b's can't get them off fast enough.


  • The trick is tea tree oil mixed with a small amount of vicks. I put a light coat on the inside of the puppy panties and that was all it took. She hasn't even tried to mess with them. Thats my secret weapon.


  • My pup never bothered hers much and I didn't even use a spray deterent. (Of course she got used to wearing coats in the winter so maybe that helped.)

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    No problems, lets me learn for future reference which is always a good thing :) Kaia is still petite. I haven't weighed her in about 2 weeks or so, she had been hovering just a smidge under 18 lbs, she may have finally gone over that now. That's why I was hoping to put off until July, wanted to make sure she had plenty of time to grow because we weren't too sure if she grows slowly or if she'll just stay petite. But I look back on her first pictures with us and wonder when she got so big!

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
