An evening with grandparents!

Basenji Talk
  • ?

    My parents spent their first evening babysitting Sonny & Julio (the Chihuahua) at the same time..I returned from my evening out to find my mother on the couch with a basenji & Chihuahua wrestling for the prime spot on her lap…..and my father in the hallway nailing down the carpet. It seemed the dogs had spent the last 2 hours chasing each other around the house sending the hallway carpet flying when Sonny would round the corner at full speed...often 7 pound Julio would go flying with it :D:D My mother told me she loves her four legged grandkids but she finds the 1 year old human to be less work!!! :eek:

    Sounds like the 2 are having a great time together! As far as the carpet and more work than the grandkids, that's what happens when you put an African dog with a Mexican dog.:D

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    Crazy, unusual funny stuff our basenjis do. A topic that will keep us all in stitches even as we may weep over all the other behaviors. Remind our selves why we love these kids soooo much

    Numerous times I had my 2 out for walks and people asked if they were Chihuahua or Fox terrier. "Basenji"?? It was always great to educate them especially when they at first would say "it's clean, doesn't bark and is the perfect size for my elderly mother who lives in an apartment". "Oh no no no, there's more to it than that".
