    Hi. Allow me to introduce my dogs and myself to you.
    My name is Maureen and I live outside Philadelphia with three Basenjis. There names and ages are Leo, 4, Jack,3, and Stella,1.5 years old.
    Obviously, I love the breed. I had my first basenji about 17 years ago, and now am seeking a home with a yard. I must walk them minimum of one-two hours every day and its getting old.

    So, I hope to find a yard for my dogs within the next 6 months.
    I look forward to reading your stories and hope to contribute soon to this forum.:rolleyes:

    Welcome, Maureen and pack! I have three also, but much older…10, 12 and 14.
    I love having three, it is just the right number for us. Hope you find a yard soon, but you may still have to walk them often to keep the energy used up!

    Welcome to you Maureen, and to your three basenjis Leo, Jack and Stella. Have you any pictures of them you could share with us? We love pictures!

    I hope you find a home with a backyard for them in a timely fashion. Would you be renting? Some owners are very fussy and don't want animals at their rental properties. Such a shame, because a lot of animals are cleaner than some humans.

    Welcome to the forum. I hope you find somewhere with a yard soon.

    Mine have plenty of room to run about at home so I only have to take them for walks for new sniffs which they enjoy. I'm getting too old for long walks and have to split mine up as I can only manage 3 at a time at the most. 2 of my walks are quite short (about 30 to 40minutes) as the walkers include two oldies who can't manage far on lead although I must say that at home running free they seem to get around very well.

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    Thank you for saying these wonderful things about the mature Bs. My Black Magic lived to 171/2 and only started going down the last 6 months of her life. There is plenty of love in the B's without so much of the puppitis that infects them until age 5 or 6! Cherry just wants to do what is best for these 4. So thank you for the words and send anyone searching to us to get them connected. God Bless, Dawn

    Hello again after a very long absence!! My 'chewing' boy now leaves his coat alone - his Mum (now spayed) wears his old hand-me-down coat, and he has his onw snazzy camoflage polar fleece jumper that I made. Can't possibly have it off thankyou!! His half-brother Jerry had his first coat on today - also a 'chewer' - we'll see if it is still on in the morning. Jerry's sister Chloe also got one on today after I managed to keep her still enough to pull it over her head!! Jerry is NOT allowed to touch it thank you!! @kiwir: The thing that annoys me is that he always wore a coat as a puppy - he's just turned 12 months now. But boys being boys, in the last few weeks he thought Mum had come back in season (she hadn't!) so in frustration he gradually chewed her coat - from the back forward - left the polar fleece around her shoulders and chest and neck. And the silly girl just let him - looking at him indulgently - "My boy" I tried making them without the polar neck (designed to stop chewing of the front) - or reinforced them with thick cotton tape - and that lasted a little longer. Now he just looks at me with those eyes saying "Hell, I'm freezing Mum!"

    @wizard: They look like they are perfectly matched - and neither one looks "fat". I have uploaded the contrasting photos. Go have a kick

    Giza swam in the Atlantic once when we were out walkin' at low tide and the tile came in. The Atlantic in Canada is pretty cold!
