Night crying /howling…

Basenji Talk
  • i have the sleeping quietly done now…........thanks everyone for your input...very helpful. winco now has decided to make the lowMmmmmmmmmmmmmm! noise when my friend comes into the house/ do i ignoreshout move awayfrom usany sujestions pals erica and the wing commander,....

  • Be aware that the lowmmmmmmmm sound might be the beginnings of a yodel. This is how our boy started. He didn't yodel for the longest time, and now he only does it when someone comes in. The longer it has been since he saw you and the more he likes you, the more vocal he is, but it all started with what we thought was a growl. Then we noticed his body language, ears slicked back (whippet ears) and tail wildly wagging, running in circles, etc

    Does he like your friend? If so, this might be what he's doing, and you don't want to discourage him from the beginnings of his yodel!!

  • yes Dan i have ,,,,,loads hahaha erica

    Sounds like she is letting you know where she is - Lela really (I mean REALLY) howls when she does not know where we are. When we leave our B's alone, we always tell them we are leaving and when we will be back. They understand. We don't use crates.

    I was interested to see this post. I have currently 2 B. gals, Tootsie and Peanut. Tootsie by day is a yodeling lunatic, but sleeps like a rock. Peanut, on the other hand is mostly silent, except for an occasional growl when needed, and has been that way for the 4 years we've had her. About 3 or 4 times in the past year, though, we will wake up to the most mournful, creepy howl I've ever heard.. Pea 'sleep howling' I guess you'd call it! It truly sounds a bit "other worldly" and it always makes me hope she isn't having a really bad doggie dream!

    @-Clar|Emm|Kai-: What we find hysterical and gross at the same time is how he scratches himself with his hind paw, sniffs it and then begins to clean and chew his nails…cute...weird...funny...B's are the best! My B does this quite frequently. He also does it with his dew claws when he's scratching his face. I find it funny. :D
