• I am laughing right here at my desk! The whole "Yes, can I help you look" OMG! If your guests had seen that they might not have been so keen to take him home

    LOLOLOL


  • This has nothing to do with the post … but you got married in Fredericksburg? How cool! I live about 40 minutes away from Fredericksburg. We actually adopted our other dog-baby from the SPCA there.


  • What a great story and thank goodness you got a picture.

    Basenji's are most certainly a "love at first sight" breed. It's the second sight(ing) they are unprepared for!!

    So many times I have B stories in my head and never talk about them because I think no one will ever believe it. Thankfully I found this forum. Most here have had similar experiences and NEVER doubt the antics our dogs get up too.

    Congratulations on your marriage. I hope your blended family has come to an understanding on table manners:p I hate it when the relatives free feed on the top of the table, especially when they double dip:D

    Thank you for the story 1981LR. I too laughed out loud like Eskilover. (Those laughs make my day;))

    I think we may need a new topic…"Holiday/Celebration Horror Stories"; subtitled "S**t Happens When You Have a Basenji, Deal With It"

    Live long, love long, and forgive your Basenji:D


  • LOVE the photo.
    These guys are so tricky…


  • Absolutely love that story (the wedding and the party).
    My beasties has never climbed on the table - whew (though he likes to sit behind me on the chair and smell) but occasionally he will try to grab at something if it is near the edge.

  • First Basenji's

    Yep! Gotta watch whatever food gets put out! LOL


  • With food, all training bets are off if the humans are out of site


  • Sooooo true Sharon.


  • Sometimes, it doesn't even matter if the Basenji's pets are in the room. My family was frosting cupcakes, and Medjai just came and jumped on the dining room table (no chair first) and came to say hi. He didn't even run straight for a mouth of cake, he was more interested in what the food was first.

  • First Basenji's

    Yep! Sakari [part JRT / B] took pizza out of our grandson's hand while he was eating!! And Bisa … well she got food from our youngest GD's hands! When I have food I look at Bisa and I say "NO THIS IS MINE!" She looks at me like ... "We'll see about THAT!" LOL
