Kizmet, our first basenji

Show Off Your Dog
  • Here is a picture of our girl! It is an adventure so far! She is such a fun dog and the cat is going to be her friend! The cat hissed and Kizmet ran up and pushed kittys nose with her nose and ran away! Wish I had the camera for that! So far, so good and I am sure they will get along fine with time and supervision of course! Crate is a good thing although it is a bit challenging at bedtime. I have been bad and letting little Kizmet sleep on my lap while I watch Nascar and should probably be playing with her instead. Tired dogs sleep better! Our shepherd mix has never been crated and sits next to crate and whimpers with Kizmet! Tonight shepherd mix- Gypsy is sleeping in the bed with us and hopefully things will quiet down quicker! Kizmet gets the living room which is warmer than our bedroom and the cat sleeps in her tree next to the crate. Hopefully kitty doesn't get the crazies at midnight and wake Kizmet! New routine with puppy addition is going smoothly so far! I think puppies are a great alternative to gym memberships! I am whooped! Pee pads are great but I like my dogs to potty outside so today is a new record for potty trips to the outdoors! Gypsy likes it! Kizmet is pretty well leash trained already and it has only been a day and a half! Looking forward to lots of new adventures! :D

    We bought a dremel to do his nails and he absoutely hates it. I let him look, snif and move it while it was not off and he just backs up. I turned it on and he ran away. So we will us the dog clippers for his nails, those seem to be working.

    She is really cute though I don't see Basenji. Like Shirley said, only a DNA can tell you much for certain.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.

    @ChaseandZahrasmom: [image: 47b7d831b3127cce855c33e60e9400000026108CYs2jZmzbg] This may be the first and last pictures of Zahra kayaking - she hated it AGAIN and kept trying to jump out of the kayak and swim to the shore. Looks like she will be spending time at the Doggie resort or with friends while we go out with Chase (our Puggle who loves the water) [image: 47b7d831b3127cce855c4a01cfe700000026108CYs2jZmzbg] What I love about this photo is that she has this look on her face that makes me think that she is begging DH to save her and take her home. Poor Zahra. :( This trip today confirmed it for me - B's are not water dogs. :rolleyes: ChaseandZarhrasmom, we are taking Dash Canoeing in a couple weeks, where did you get the lifepreserver? Do they just have them at PetSmart?
