Nexa the hunter

Basenji Talk
  • Last week Nexa caught her first chipmunk and flipped it up in the air like it was a toy, after it landed it got away under the fence. Today, the chipmunk was not so lucky. When you have two B's chasing one chipmunk, the chipmunk doesn't have a chance (neither did the now destroyed flower beds:mad:). Is there anything we should watch Nexa and Leo for health wise after their tug of war with this thing, worms…etc? As fun as it was for them, the cheese in the house was too tempting and they came in when I called:D I think they went completely deaf during the chase though.

  • Tapeworms and other worms are usually the big concern.

  • Mine killed numerous jack rabbits, rats and even a pheasant. Lucky I guess they never got anything.

    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    We have one of those toys, but it is chicken, not a fish, one of their faovites, no stuffing left in large parts of its body, but it still works like a charm..they love it. I am glad Buddy is back to jis normal spunky self after his ordeal that other week.. He is looking good..:D

    Congratulations! Leo is so handsome. Nexa and Leo look like they have always been together, like they belong. Their jackets look warm and comfortable. Very nice pics. :)
