Rosey will be 9 in January. Someone on a canine Cushing's forum posted about knowing or having basenjis that lived for 17 and 18 years. I could only be so lucky if Rosey could live close to that long, especially with Cushings. My past non-basenji dogs each made it to 12.
Who has/had the oldest basenji here?
Little hunters, aren't they? Rosey has caught several small birds, but unfortunately I was unable to save any of them by the time I could catch her.
Querk is a mighty handsome fella! He looks great for his age. Is that a touch of gray I see around his muzzle?
Nala sure is a pretty girl. So is your daughter Natalie!
Welcome! I'm new here, too, but I'm on the West Coast!

Steepen is my 15 year old cat, recently diagnosed with FIV (feline AIDS):(
I have had him for 10 years, prior to that he lived in an animal hospital for a year where I had previously worked until the AHT finally wore me down to take him home. He is a great cat, quite dog-like, actually. Unfortunately, he has lost half his weight as his health declines.
Trevor is a 3-4 year old Boston terrier that we adopted from the local pound one year ago. He is a great dog, my son loves him. He likes to rough house with my son and play tug-o'-war. (Rosey doesn't really play). He is friendly to all and is submissive-polar opposite from Rosey.
I'm new, so forgive me if this thread has come up recently. I love to hear what nicknames your dogs have.
Rosey's registered name is Kazor's Savannah Wildrose. I gave my then 4-yr old son the choice of calling her Savannah or Rosey. He chose Rosey, go figure.
Some of her nicknames include:
Rosey-Pose
Rosey-Posey
Pretty Girl
Baby Girl
Fat Pig ( yeah, not nice, I know-my son calls her this because Cushings has given her a potbelly and he likes to make fun of her.)
How 'bout your b's?
We have a doggy door, so the dogs can access the fenced rear yard whenever they like. Sometimes they are running in and out 10 times a hour, but I don't mind!
OMG! Too much!! I love her singing! And I esp love the pic with Lucy holding the spoon in her mouth! Looks like she luvs the camera.
My Rosey is the only basenji I know, I actually have never heard a b howl before, didn't even know they could. All Rosey vocalizes are whines and I guess a kind of yodel(?)-I call it a "yawn" cause that's what it looks like to me.
Rosey wanted to help decorate for Christmas.:eek:
This was the toy before she started her de-stuffing rampage…
