  • I love the colour of Kizzie, it's so rich. Glad she's settled with you, Pikachu and Silver.

  • We met Kizzy, Pikachu and you guys this morning at the West Park in Tampa - it was wonderful to see Kizzy - her eyes and coat color create such a beautiful striking contrast. Welcome to the dog park, we hope to see you more Sundays. Pikachu is such a cute little girl, it was nice to see how both of them got along well with all the other B's. Kizzy and Pikachu are going to fit in beautifully with the rest of the pack.

  • Great to meet everyone today! The B's are worn out and sleeping.:)

  • Great to meet you too, we do have a nice group of "Sunday Senjis" at West park and your girls fit perfectly. Good to meet John too, with Flash, another Wimauma pup. The dogs seem to have a nice time even in this brutal heat, are much more lively when it is cooler (aren't we all).

  • Lovely to see your pictures (2 members for one look huh?) I love to see them getting on so well with each other - I so envy your dog parks.

  • I love to hear and see dog park pictures, especially when it's a basenji I have helped find her forever family. Kizzie is such a gorgeous girl. I really love her eyes!

  • Good pictures, Triciaw - we really do have a nice time at the dog park, and your girls make a wonderful addition. Hope to see you as many Sundays as possible.

  • Kongo (Afrika) plans to come next Sunday, it will be fun if he and Kizzie get to see each other.

    And we also had Flash, one of Kenyatta's pups, bottle fed from birth. He is a very cool boy and had a blast playing with a b-mix, Coco.

    So we have several of the Wimauma pups that come from time to time, Butler (Batboy), Kongo, Kizzie, Flash and don't forget Guppy!

    Nice to get a every changing supply of new basenjis in our Sunday-Senji group. Basenjis have such nice humans, too!

  • the other animals needed some face time ;)
    The first picture is of a "Serval" and no I don't own him, however they are used in the breeding program for my other cats which are "Savannahs". I beleive my cat "Silver" is able to better relate to Kizzie as they are both a bit wild! With Silver is "Zahara". I also have another cat "Taz" for the next post.

  • Silver has become Kizzies favorite non B friend. Kizzie has not met the horse (Shadow) yet, as he lives off site at a stable. He is the bay thourobred -the first one in the horse pictures. Taz is the big black and white cat and the other cat is "Zahara". As you can see Kizzie has lots of "friends".:D

  • Lovely cats, Triciaw - Kizzy should be very well socialized with everything, getting to know all your animals. She's a sweetheart.

  • Lovely to see pictures of the whole family!

  • Well Kizzie appears to be a Houdini. I am using that special collar/harness that goes around the neck and under the armpits. (as I was told they are supposed to be basenji proof) :) Well she got out of it during our walk two nights ago. She got panicked by a person in the area and just backed right out of it. To say I was panicked but KNOW bettter than to chase her would be an understatement. I "acted" calm/normal as she trotted in the other direction. Then Pikachu and I did an about face and headed back to the house. (Needless to say- Kizzie beat us home and was waiting on the porch) thank-goodness she apparently loves us!!! As we LOVE her dearly as well.

  • Oh, that is scary…glad it ended well.

  • Wow, how wonderful that she has bonded with you! And you were so wise to overcome the urge to go after her. I think that seeing your dog get loose is one of the most awful feelings ever. So glad she is safe and sound with you.

  • I just clicked the wrong link and unsubscribed by accident. Do I need to start over to re-subscribe?

  • Well this Sunday is going to be the Rays game. Everyone is telling me how lucky I am to be going to a sold out game (but I would rather be going to the dog park) I do beleive Kizzie and Pikachu would agree! Hope to go next Sunday!

  • There will be lots of Sundays, don't worry, just enjoy the game.

  • Kizzie is doing great. Shown here with her sister Pikachu.

    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!
  • Surprise! She's part Basenji…

    Andrea - I want to thank you for recommending the obedience website. We have all begun a program of dog training - fun for the kids especially. We have her (and the Jack Russell mix) sitting before they are allowed out, and they must "stay!" sitting even when the door opens until they are given a command to "go!" Even if the cat is just outside the door taunting them with his wicked yellow eyes to chase him - they must sit and stay until told to go. And now, after a month of constant training from all of us - they do it. In fact, both now sit at the door before it even opens anticipating the command. We also have hand gestures for the verbal commands - probably not the conventional ones, but they work for us and the pooches. We've started working on "come" now - Kandy definately doesn't like it, but she is beginning to obey "come-sit" for her treats. No treat without obeying. She's smart and quick to learn, and so is Sammy, so we're having a good time with them. Well, we did until Sammy went into heat and began making us all nutty with her constant whining and alternate aggressive behavior (she and Kandy had some real loud and nasty tussles) I had little time for the internet, for all the extra work it caused and the lack of sleep! But she's nearly done with that, and both are returning to whatever poses for normal and are getting along again. We're so happy with the two of them, and Kandy is so unique and special. What a treasure - wierd noises that she makes and all! MamaofMany
