The Christmas "Beast" that almost wasn't

Basenji Talk
  • A dear friend of mine rescued a sweet little basenji boy a few years ago. She had no idea that basenjis can fly. They had Parker for a couple of weeks when they ordered pizza. My friend was upstairs with Parker when her son called up the stairs and said that the pizza had arrived. She started down the stairs with Parker coming down in front of her. Her son was sitting at the table with a slice of pizza half way to his mouth. Parker jumped off the stairs and sailed through the air right past the son's face. Everyone was in awe when they realized that Parker was sitting on the other side of the room with the pizza in his mouth!!

  • LOL yep, chows and basenji can fly. :)

  • Ok, Vicki… I have to know... did you guys share the rest of the roast beast, or did you trade it in for hot dogs?

  • Since Hunter is a big licker, we figured it couldn't have been any worse than his daily face washings.

    I gladly ate the "roast beast".

    Clearly, that will prove my love for my bs!!!!!

  • He looks so innocent in that picture! The face of an angel but the mind of a demon!

  • Your stories are a riot! We are usually pretty careful not to leave anything where our B's can jump, climb or fly - but - Heaven help you if you are casually eating anything when not at the table and your arm comes low enough for a quick run-by! We've lost sandwiches, cookies, hot dogs. . . . the list goes on!

  • Very funny, too bad no one had a camera to record the "action".

  • Too funny and YES, way too smart…

  • I recently had just peeled a banana to eat, while holding onto the bottom of the banana, turned my head just an instant from the banana in front of me(mind you its about chest high) and the banana was happy being gulped down by my Cody. Never even jostled my hand.

  • The reason I can't get mad when my basenjis have swiped food is because they look completely innocent afterwards, almost like, "Wait. You wanted me to eat that, right? Did I do something wrong? ":D

  • giggle this thread makes me laugh.

    i snapped these shots a while ago of our little miss.

    Sittin all innocently (look at that face)…

    Oh hi… can i has some food please?

    She didnt steal anything that day but i was eating shark and went to refill my drink which was several steps away thinking she wont touch it… the basenji is asleep .... turn around to find the sleeping basenji helping herself to a little piece of meat lol ninja style. haha thankfully i was finished my meal and it was only a few mouthfulls left (which she was getting anyway) lol

    our garden is loaded with fieldmouses at the moment…. my B's do not care very much but my Ibizan hounds snack them all the time, sometimes they bring one inside for me to have, as a present, and they look quite offended when they notice I throw their delicious present in the garbage can ....

    @Craigh: We got an extra dose of evil yesterday. Bella spent a couple hours laying on the couch with my wife. When she woke up she decided it was play time. She grabbed the corner of the carpet (where two rooms join) and RIPPED IT UP OFF THE FLOOR!! This was tacked down carpet that she had never messed with before. Don't know where that came from. She had pulled up about a square yard before I caught her. We're thinking about changing her name to DeMonica. Atta "Tri'ing" Basenji!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    She-Ra helps clean off the Peanut Butter knife (held so she won't cut herself (even though it's a butter knife I've heard stories)) when I'm done with it. Gonna have to try the mashed potato beater this Thanksgiving (it's her first…she's seen this big bird in the fridge but can't quite figure out what to do about it! :) ).

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
