• You know… it often occured to me that perhaps you don't know that I inter-change Miles's name. He has many nicknames. When we first got him, he was all silly and would do these crazy acrobatics... he'd come running at you and then do a front roll right into you. It was the funniest thing. So odd and so amusing!! So I called him "Floppy Ham Man" for a while. That was shortened to "Ham". When DH and I went on vacation to the Dominican Republic a year or so ago, we found it amusing that all the food items in the dining area were incorrectly translated to English. Everywhere there should have been an "H", they had a "J". So for breakfast you could have "Jam and Eggs" instead of "Ham and Eggs". Anyways, it was really cute. So when we came home, Miles's nickname then became "Jam". And then it became "Little Jam"-- but pronounced more like "Yiddo Jam". I dunno... we're weird I suppose. I swear we have our own language that we talk to the dogs in...LOL!!! Tell me I'm not alone!! 🙂


  • You're not alone - Daisy is "my little bumpy cake"! I think of her as just that soft and sweet.

    I went back to the first thread - low and behold I realized you've had "Jam" over 2 years already! Wow - where'd the time go? He looks great, as does Lexi. They are sure having a great life with you guys. (Wish I was as lucky :D!!!) Great pictures of your hiking trip. Looks like so much fun!


  • Yiddo Jam! 🙂 hehehehe… Yep, two years!!

    I just realized I never posted this pic... It was taken last summer at a local meetup. 🙂


  • The humans are outnumbered, 6 against 12….Looks like a happy time.

    I'm sure there are more Basenjis in this picture than there are in Belgium … 😉


  • Great group shot…love the smiling b's in the photo.


  • I have just been reading your first post, I am so glad it worked out so well for you and Miles, he sounds like a wonderful dog. We also have lots of silly names for our dogs, and they respond to them too!

    I loved the pictures of the dogs, they look really happy together.


  • So today was Lexi's 8th birthday… so naturally we had a party! All her local puppals got together... she got lots of stuffed toys, cookies, and even a frosty paw. The girls baked cupcakes in her honor. We were going to do a Doggie Easter Egg Hunt, but the girls were afraid the labs would just break through the eggs and eat the plastic so we nixed it. But the dogs had a blast playing. And of course we tried for a photo shoot-- I'm sure you can't tell who's photographed all the time... 😉 hahahah... Oh Lexi!! You love pictures! Enjoy!!

    Waiting for cookies...

    Playtime begins!

    In the yard:

    Can we get this together, guys?

    Thank you, Lexi!

    Sit! Stay!

    Wait!!

    Almost there!

    Then suddenly Maddie stood up over Miles. Miles just sat there.

    Happy Birthday PooPoo! We love you!

    Later everyone enjoyed Frosty Paws!

    Miles prefers to bite his.

    Miles was done playing at this point and ready to come home and go to sleep. 😉

    A good time was had by everyone!! 🙂


  • This is so COOL!
    Thanks so much for sharing.


  • Seems they all had a GREAT time !! Happy Birthday Greetings from Belgium, Lex !:)


  • Wow!! That's a GREAT way to celebrate your Birthday, Lexi!! I bet those cupcakes were delicious…. 😃 😃

    almost forgot: Happy 8th Birthday!!


  • Well, we've been away for a while. We recently moved. Thought I'd post a few recent pics just for fun. 🙂

    Miles sleeping on the job– should have been packing. 😉
