So true eeefarm…the word "hopeless" comes to mind...lol

Happy birthday! I hope you get many more..the years pass too quick..hope the birthdays continue to be special

Ha ha ha , and just think it's only the beginning. We have discovered thar B's and Shiba Inu' s are all sisters's under the skin. Our 14yo Shiba, Sable, 5 yo B, Bitty,and the 2 yo B, Mr Baroo have tried their best to totally destroy our 3 cushion sofa, and 2 cushion love seat. They have torn the cover from all 4 arms and dug neat little nests in the center of all the cushions, just the right size for B's and Shiba's to curl up in. Karin says that if they ever grow out of it we are going to purchase a new living room set, but there dosent seem to be any chance of that happening any time soon.

LOL such a simple birthday wish! Happy Birthday!

Yeah, especially the bed. I wake up clinging to a corner of the blanket and they are underneath with their toes in my back!

You should submit that to the shelter challenge picture contest!

With the bad economy, more BYB and commercial breeders are being stuck with older pups. I do not believe all of his relatives would want pups. I assume the majority of them would wind up at shelters as I am sure he would not take them back and take care of them. What an idiot! Does anyone know where he obtained his female or the pedigree-would like to know if she has Fanconi in her background-since he probably has not tested her? Jennifer

@sharronhurlbut: Rats are all over.. I hear Beverly Hills is loaded with Rats..not the 2 legged kind either… Oh Sharron, good one! Maybe God made rats for basenjis? :rolleyes:

Beautiful photo! We still don't have green grass here yet!

Happy birthday to the bumbling bandit :)

I would participate in a spring swap if we had one…

Very nice pics and descriptions!

Sorry to hear about the loss of this special friend… Our thoughts go out to the people that known her...

You did great but the picture is a love the babies are handsome. Rita Jean

That's exactly what my house looks like on Sunday (except add a cussing hubby at the other end of the couch when the Bears or the Packers are playing:D)

Dog art – too funny -- we all have lots of that don't we! Love the "twins".

One of the games my instructor plays during graduation class is Musical Settles. Kind of like musical chairs except the one eliminated is the one whose dog lays down last after the owner sits, which is the only cue the dog gets. My basenjis have always done poorly at this game because they hate laying down on cold ground and though they will offer a sit, down is usually more than they are willing to do. Which is okay with me, we always kick butt at the recall game, basenjis are wicked fast! Anyway, at one of the many graduation days that we have attended we amazed everyone by making it all the way to the final two and then even more amazement when me and Nicky won. That was the only time my instructor made a basenji related comment which was, "See how practice and reinforcement pays off, the basenji won musical settles!"

Oh, what beautiful dogs! They look like they are really enjoying themselves-they look so content and happy!

Hi Vicki - I love your name. ;) Welcome and I hope to see more of your postings. This is the best site for help, advice, and friendship. I, too, use the squirt bottle and always keep a cup of water on the counter for more drastic intervention. My two will go at it, then clean each other up once they are wet. It is funny.
