Hey,

I forgot about this forum for a while… Yes, that was probably mine, my parents live in Bedford and my dad would take her to the baseball fields when I lived with them for a bit back in '08. I actually left her there at xmas so I could focus on finishing up my thesis work - and my dad is driving to Toronto (where I go to school) from NS tomorrow to bring her back. I havent seen her in 3 months, so I am looking forward to the reaction. Of course my dad will be devastated to leave her , he adores her. I keep trying to get him to get his own but he says he only loves Shera, haha.

There were a couple other basenjis at that field, I think there is a breeder in sackville who would bring hers every so often. Now that I think of it, my dad may have mentioned meeting another B recently, maybe it was yours.

Anyways, take care. I am going to enjoy my last night of freedom before shera comes home and takes over everything.

Where in Ontario do you live?

Have you guys listened to this? It is a story about a basenji and her humans from This American Life. Its cute, and only a couple minutes long.

Thats why I made my boyfriend put her in the water - so she wouldn't hate me.

She-Ra swimming in Lake Muskoka…
She avoided the dock for the rest of the day.

Pics of my She-Ra and her friend Benji (the tri).
I have no idea how people with more than one walk them together…. its insane! (And I have no backyard so every pee time = walk)

SO CUTE! and I cannot believe he did not eat the cracker!

Great pics!!

Same reason I always get nervous if Shera wants to play with fluffy dogs - she chases the tail and the fur always ends up in her mouth!

My Shera went to the beach with her retreiver boyfriend, and would slightly STEP in the water if he ran in…. I could not imagine her going up to her chest like that!

What a smart Basenji!

Where in Ontario are you??

She-Ra and I live in Toronto and LOVE meeting other B's.

i cant upload the pic… too bad its really funny.

The mall near my parent's house got Santa to come visit for peoples pets - and proceeds went to the SPCA. It was so cute, until SheRa peed on Santas rug! I was kinda embarrased, but it was all part of the holiday cheer.

thanks, i will cut out the puppy food completely, and get her down to 1/2 cup. she does like brocolli, so maybe some more of that and other veggies.

SheRa and I just moved from Brooklyn back to Halifax, Canada.

Anyone on the east coast??

I took SheRa to the vet yesterday, and she weighed in at 25 lbs!!

I was shocked (and embarrased).
She is only 9 months old, and has always looked a little hefty. She gets lots of walks, and runs around with her doggie cousins, but would be content to sleep long hours if left alone in the house. I have started mixing in a bit of diet doggie kibble with her puppy kibble, but was wondering if anyone else has a chubby pup.

She has never really looked lean, so maybe this is just puppy fat?
She just loooooves food, and inhales her kibble in a nanosecond. (I feed her 3/4 per day, over 2 or 3 feedings)

any suggestions?

ahhh it just sucks coming home from work to a pissy bed…

my girl has not made a peep until today - it was not a yodel not a baroo, it was a full on BARK like, woof woof, and totally strange… Does anyone elses B bark???

ps. She Ra is only 4 months, but I just thought I would throw it out there....

thanks a lot…
i'll keep a closer eye on her.

she wasn't asleep, my bf had her out for about a half hour (she did pee outside) and she jumped up on the bed and peed after coming inside.

She is on a kind of late schedule, I work in a bar and don't come home till after 1am at the earliest. My bf is home in the evenings though, so shes never alone for more than a couple hours. But she seems fine going 8-9 hours of solid sleep before having to get up to pee. (I'm lucky to have a puppy that seems to like sleeping in lol).

Anyways, I'm off to the laundromat (again) and will keep her off the bed.
