  • hello i'm Farrahs_mom
    she is our 2nd basenji our first one was kiah we got her when she was 2yrs old. had her for 12 years before she past away. loved her dearly. then when she was 6 yrs old we got a min pin for her to play with. she mothered him. he got a bath everyday by her. she lost her sight the last 2 yrs of her life and he led her around. then 6 months ago our daughter found Farrah for us. she was 8 weeks old and very lovable. Kiah was red and white and Farrah is black and white. she is a hand full. she loves being outside and has even enjoyed the snow that we have here in Illinios. the min pin thinks that he is her boss but she has already started giving him baths. he has taught her that it is best to sleep under the covers with mom and dad that way you don't get cold and then to sleep in the middle so you don't fall out of bed. we love our dogs and spoil them worse than the grandkids.

  • Yep, I spoil Bella too! I just can't help myself, I look into those deep, dark eyes and the Basenji spell overtakes me!!!;)
    Anyways, welcome to the forum!:D

  • Welcome to the forum, fun for all. Spoil them B's!:D

    It's a small world. I work in Mattoon, so I've probably been to the Mexican place you are talking about. There are 3 that I can think of over here. (shh, don't tell that I am chatting while at work :D )
    We're getting ready to foster a Boxer for a friend's brother. EEK! :eek: I don't know how I get involved in this stuff. Oh wait, yes I do. I'm dog addicted! :D :D :rolleyes:

    You're getting ready to run "Team Destructo", aren't you?:D

  • These are the famous five aren't they? How's Momma Basenji doing?

  • They are so adorable! Is that a capped tri-color?

  • Oh my gosh! They are ADORABLE. I got my B, Giz at age 3, so I have never actually encountered a B pup. I can't wait to see them. Only the knowledge that I cannot fit another dog in my home with the new foster Boxer coming keeps me from wanting a B pup. I'll behave, though and turn them over to the next leg of the run :D

  • they are sooooo cute!!!

  • OMG! They are soooo adorable - how long to get from VT to IL???

  • @bellabasenji:

    That looks like a regular old tri color to me…but maybe I am missing something....

    A capped tri looks like a beagle face.

    @rgk9ruler My B detested her Crate unless we were in the car going someplace. They must get into the Crate for Vets, etc. Give them something to chew on and put the Crate so they can see you. Practice taking short trips so they will get used to it. These Dogs are so curious that they like new things! It worked for my Dog because I always want all of my Animals to be safe! :) A

    @gneigum: Thank you for the compliments to my dogs. There is not much that I can share about them, as they have only been in our home about three months, although my wife & I agree that it seems like they've been here all their lives. We were blessed to become aquainted with Simone Gaudet - www.beaubri.com - who gave us the lead. The dogs names are Nathaniel (6 in Jan. 09)pedigree at http://www.beaubri.com/Nate.html & Callie (5 in Nov. 08)pedigree at http://www.terrarust.com/pedigree-callie.html. They are, for the most part, very well behaved, & have adjusted extremely well to our home. Callie is like a bossy sister to Nate, & lets him know when she is unhappy with his presence. She is also very protective of her new home & I have to work with her to curb some agression issues with some visitors. Aside from that, we are enjoying them very much. I would enjoy hearing about your B(s) also. G Nate is my girl, Ruby's (Ch. Eldorado 'n Akuaba's Bejeweled) sire. :)
