Although "NO" became what Shaye most heard, along with " drop it" (she's too quick for "leave it," so "drop it" has replaced that) and "get off the table" and "stop digging the screens" (on the porch), lately we have been firmly saying her name, then squirting her in the face with a squirt bottle. Amazing how well that works - of course the entire house is getting wet but she's getting the picture that when we pick up the squirt bottle and show it to her, she'd best stop whatever it is she's doing. Gemma, of course, responds to "stop" and "leave it." Must be the "other" kind of dog in her….
What is this little boy's name? Throw me a bone…..

How Brutus!!…like the ancient Romans... Ceasar and Brutus! It sounds very Imperial
-
Romeo makes me think of a local play pal of Luxor's called "Lover Boy", a bulldog with a humping problem, he he. I think Brutus and Ceasar would not be found hanging out in real life, different classes. Julius, or Jules? Cairo, or Chai? Omar…

Marcus…..continuing on the Roman theme.

That's precisely the point. Ceasar will be the alpha dog & Brutus will be a different class in the echelons of dog society
-
Brutus murdered Ceasar though. It's a harsh name, but the irony is there. The new pup may be more of a contender for top dog than we know.
-
So long as Brutus doesn't use the squirrels and cats as his accomplices…I think Ceasar will keep his top dog spot

"Sic semper tyrannis"

Just so you know…Ramses (Ramzes) is a name a LOT of Basenji owners use. Same with Tut. I like looking into the meanings of names.
-

-
Who is this new puppy's breeder? he is very cute!
How about Salad…you know...Caesar Salad

This forum make me LOL all the time!! This one was too funny
ROFL!! -
So after holding on to Romeo all week, I think it is maybe not "the" name…
We thought of another one last night, "Cairo". Not original, I'm sure, but would work for a little boy....
I looked up Brutus and it means something like, "dumb one", I wasnt expecting that. so that is definately not the name for me.
Caesar isnt really helping me out much with these names, just laying around. Little does he know of the chaos I will be bringing home on Friday! Crying, poop, and pee!!! I can't wait!!
-
Lux was almost Cairo, back on installment #29 of "Name the pup" I also suggested Omar which I like in a kind of deserty/africany way!;) Marcus on # 30 was good too, I thought.
-
There's a name for you…Chaos! LOL...but seriously, it might just work out!
-
I have always been told, do not give a basenji that you do not want them to live up to. I think that is pretty good advice.
-
I have decided to go with Cairo for his name. Thanks everyone for you suggestions!!
