Gizmo & Ariel

Show Off Your Dog
  • Gizmo looks like he is protecting her! Basenjis are so intuitive, they seem to know how to relate to shy or abused dogs. Very sweet, nice that he has a 'girlfriend'.
    I'm glad to see them on top of the table, that is where all ours hang out too!

  • Wonderful detail on the pictures. I think Gizmo has found his Valentine girl.

  • Ariel is a gorgeous looking girl! How nice that Gizmo has such a pretty girlfriend!!

  • Glad you and Giz met this little girl. She's a pretty little thing (perhaps a little under weight?) Is she always so submissive, as the photo's indicate. Gizmo will help her come out of her shell and socialize :)

    It's a bit hard to see on the pics because she's laying on almost all of them.. but I don't think she's under weight.. She looks perfect to me.

  • Yes, she is under weight. You can't see it here, but all her ribs are visible, but she is way better now compared to what she was when she first got her. Poor thing looked like she was starved.

    That little dog you see her with is her new "room mate". He is a puppy, and name Babbo…or I think that's how it's spelled. Supposed to be from Disney...same with Ariel.

    Ariel is a bit submissive yes, espesially that day, they had been in the park for 3 hours when I came! So I think she was a bit tired. But she is getting "tougher" every day. After she got Babbo in the house Ariel had transformed into a much more lively dog.

    EDIT: Found a picture of her standing, not a great picture (was taken the day before), but at least it gives a better impression of her.

  • She looks very sweet and obviously submissive but not scared. Your boy really looks as though he's taken her under his wing.

  • Very sweet pictures.. Gizmo has grown up to be a handsome fella, Ariel is very dainty, a little girl..so sweet.
    I am glad she is in a better home now..hopefully her coming to the park to play and lots of love will do her good.

  • I enjoyed those pics, thanks.

  • Lovely pics of Gizmo and his friends

    @Kipawa: Jess, I don't think Maya has a problem with weight, either light or too heavy. She looks very good. As long as you know she is eating wel, is healthy and is exercising, don't be too concerned. I realize their IS a standard for the basenji, but they are living beings that can't always match up to a picture in a book. She is a very, very good eater. She LOVES her food and its often more of a problem to keep her weight down as she will steal anything she can get hold of :rolleyes: Since having a basenji I have learned that they are worse thievess even than labradors!! :eek: I was defrosting a chicken last week and noticed it had disappeared from the kitchen worktop.. where do i find it? Outside with Maya and she'd eaten about half of it :rolleyes: She is a pig!! I walk her for about 2 hours a day now, most of which is offlead running (we walk to the horses fields and back each evening so she spends a good hour running around the fields and woods and farmland!) so she has quite a lot of exercise compared to some im sure, but if she didnt have that she would be a little porker cos she eats a lot :p But at the same time, cos she has so much time running around burning calories I do need to make sure her food intake is high enough. She is definately the highest energy dog i've ever had :eek:
