I recently "married" a Basenji!

[nobarkus]

Welcome to the forum!! When you marry a Basenji is it "Barooo I do"?

[SyberSade]

hee-hee Yes, I 'spose so! Unfortunately Haley was the only family member who DIDN'T get to attend the wedding. We were married on the steps of the Sacramento capitol building…..only my 2 sons and my husband's 3 sons attending. I'm so glad my step-dog is a girl!! ha-ha

Ooh - you and she are quite outnumbered with all of those boys! You girls better stick together!! ;)

[snorky998]

Welcome Sadie! Yes, she may be quite mad when you leave. :) After all those years in a house loaded with testosterone, she probably feels she's found her estrogen soul mate :D.

An online Basenji dictionary would not have a definition for "weird". It would just say "see 'Normal', 'Attention Getting', 'Innate Behavior', 'Prozak'," and be supported by google ad pop-ups for king size beds, toilet paper sales, underwear outlet stores, and indestructible dog toys (which we all know only exist in fantasy land). :D:D

LOL snorky998! So true! Welcome Sybersade!

[SyberSade]

Hmmmmm….......I'm trying to figure out how to add pictures to a post.

Hey! It worked! This is a picture of our wedding in front of the capitol building in Sacramento, CA. Me, John, my 2 sons, and his 3 sons.

I'll try to post some pics of Haley next.

Cute pics! Thanks! My boy does that crossing his front paws thing too. I think its adorable.

[SyberSade]

Thanks, Bart! I adore this little old girl. They're enchanting, aren't they?

"Enchanting", yes, excellent decription. They just get in your heart and you're done. Despite of, or because of, their quirks/behaviors we just love them.

[Basenjimamma]

Great pictures Sadie, thanks for sharing. Haley is adorable..
on a side note, Otis will cross his paws too and he loves to lay down on the edge of the bed/couch like that with paws hanging over the edge..

[agilebasenji]

What cute pics!!! Looks like you two are forming quite the pack.

[thunderbird8588]

Welcome to the forum Sadie, thanks for sharing those pics, the wedding one is lovely with all your boys :) Love the Halloween pic of Haley, she's so pretty.

[SyberSade]

Thanks, Shelley! Got the little girl dress at Goodwill Thrift Store for CHEAP and 'fixed' it! ;)
When the trick-or-treaters came to the door on Halloween, I'd hold a dog treat up in the air and Haley would "dance" for them. It was so fun!

Haley is so pretty and pictures are great. I like your wedding picture very nice handsome bunch of boy's.
