Finished reading Goodbye My Lady

    Very sweet book that was pretty much like I expected it would be. The depiction of the basenji laughing and crying were amusing and touching. The boy in the story was quite stoic at the end, much more than I would have been.

    I'm away for a little R and R for the next 5 days and am bringing August Magic, another book about a basenji. I'll give you the Coles notes on it when I return next weekend.

    Have a wonderful, happy, basenji-filled week. May you experience all the good things life offers.

    Having grown up and spent a lot of time in the mt farm area, when people routinely shot dogs for LOOKING wrong at a chicken, refusing to give up a bird when hunting etc, I didn't really fixate on the training methods when I saw it as a child nor in the years since. I am glad things have changed, but training was what it was and every animal was a commodity of some sort, not just a pet.

    @sonnyboy: that's funny….sonny does a happy dance when I pick up his coat to go for our 6am walk in the morning. I'm sure not happy about it at that hour!:D I take Buddy at 4:30am. That should make you happy now. :D

    My pup never bothered hers much and I didn't even use a spray deterent. (Of course she got used to wearing coats in the winter so maybe that helped.)

    I have decided to keep Baroo, and I hate to be so back and forth on the issue, but I am sure you have all been there at some point and understand. I am going to start a new post, so please see that one for further explaination. Thanks for all of your advice so far, I know I will be needed more now though!

    I personally know a Basenji that died from raisin toxicity. It is definitely a real, and serious concern.

    Hollie is also a mixed breed. She is Basenji and Whippet. I found out early on that she fears no other dogs. She is approximately 30 lbs and almost 2 years old. She plays with dogs of all sizes on a regular basis and backs down from none. Her "boyfriend" at the local dogpark is a 6 month old Irish Wolfhound ,whose favorite game is let's put Hollie's head in my mouth, this puppy is already 3 times her size in body (not sure of his weight at this point - but he is expected to be over 170 lbs full grown). Hollie plays with the Mastiffs, Ridgebacks and other large breeds. I prefer this now, seeing how rough a basenji can be when playing.
