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?

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    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".
