    I used to have a basenji who would chase a plastic bag I tied to a "wand" around the yard. He seemed really in to the "bunny" so I took him to a couple of lure coursing events in central FL. It was wonderful to see the dogs running and so hard to hold my boy back from joining them. At the end of the day, we were able to do a straight out and back run to see how he would do, and he was great. Not long after, 2 guys that I placed a basenji with rigged up a reversing motor and set up a very small "lure course" in their back yard! There were about 12 of us there with basenjis and we let them chase the bunny one or two at a time. It was great fun. You do have to be careful not to run them too young, or too hard without conditioning. My current basenji gets to run like crazy at the dog park (it's huge and everyone is very impressed at his speed and agility) and at the baseball field (when it's not locked up). Slents: I loved your video! Thanks for posting it. I hope you eventually get to attend a lure coursing event in person - it really is something to see!

    I love the pictures of Maya and her 'baby'. Much better than a stuffed toy!

    Thanks for the replies!! She is such a princess, bless her. She only got up for her breakfast and a pee this morning. Once that was done she went back upstairs and got into bed again, she's still there now! She definately rules the house :D I dont know what it was about the last pic that caught my eye, but its cute isnt it?? It was actually an accident, i didnt mean to zoom in but obviously hit the zoom without realising! Oops!

    @Maya: Ooooooh, Tootsie i love!! Me too! Isn't she such a doll? :) Sue knows how much I want a little Tootsie diva too. And I'd have her if I didn't have such issues with my job and home life. I hope these next couple generations keep the same essence. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. In the meantime I miss my Toots snuggles, and was gonna go down and visit the babies. But I just didn't find the right time, so had to settle for pictures. lol
