    Debra, the pit bull is the neighbors dog. It was a rare occurance the neighbor was invited over and in his drunken state decided against my worries about Oakley being an un neutered mature male, to bring his dog over. I would definitely agree if it was my friends dog that this happened with, not to bring Oakley.

    @antalioops: Okay, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Nala has let out a "bark like" noise once or twice. 1 noise. Not a woofwoofwoof… I don't think she spelled it with a "w" or a "b". I read the selective breeding thing somewhere on the internet. I'm sure we here in the USA are not the only ones to breed for certain characteristics. I'm also pretty sure it wasn't just for the noises. Unlike hunting here with Braking & baying dogs, the game there is quite different. I just wanted to share something I read. Didn't intend to start a debate or argument. I'm a little sorry I shared at all Hey there, first off, Welcome to the forum! Don't be sorry you shared…. for like you said, po-tay-to, po-tah-to... your Nala is absolutely adorable! And in my opinion, basenjis will tease us with their capability to "roo", as many here call it! My Sophie will only Roo when SHE feels like it, and then, she will be telling the story of her day... versus my Lola, who I think can Roo, but has decided not to share... yet... :) :D Anyway, Welcome! :) My sister lives in Milwaukee with two basenjis, so if you ever want more playmates for Nala....

    Mine saw horses a few years ago when we were staying at the beach. People rode horses up and down the beach all day and while Topper and Nicky just wanted to watch, Eddie really wanted to get up close and personal. I'm guessing he was thinking about horsemeat! We kept our distance as most were 'rental horses' and didn't want to spook them and harm the riders. Yep, BIG DOGS!

    Shango sounds like a lovely dog, I don't suppose his opinion of the daughter was very high, I wouldn't worry about her appalling manners.

    Magnum doesn't really have a problem with wet surfaces or rain, unless it's really pouring. Not that he wants to stay out there long, mind you. Lenora's story reminded me of a very cold (-3 degrees F, with the windchill way colder than that) day this past winter. I put Magnum's boots on for our morning walk as usual. As usual, he had them kicked off about half-way through the mile walk (with me gathering them up as they came off). Once they were all off (with Magnum grinning from ear to ear, "Got'em off again, Mom! This is a fun game!"), he very quickly started lifting one paw after the other off the cold, frozen ground for a few seconds at a time. Finally, he plopped down in the middle of the dirt road, all four paws tucked beneath him and refused to get up. I had to carry him (all 27 pounds) back to the house a 1/2-mile away. He just wouldn't let me put those boots back on! As he was tucked up in the middle of the road, he looked at me and seemed to say, "I am not moving one INCH! You can't make me! You are tryin' my patience! First you put those sillly boots on my that I gotta get off and now THIS!"
