Losing a loved one is a hard thing to bear, especially a pet. I think it's because they are in our life 24 hours a day usually from the day we get them. I've lost some fury friend in the past and the grieving process was quite long for me. You don't have to think about it until that day come though.

Congratulations, that is great! Ayo sounds like he's doing well. Keep the updates coming. It's great that he's gaining weight. We would love to see some pics of Ayo with some meat on his bones.

Thanks for the article Debra! This is really cool. I wonder what they are really thinking when we are snorting and "rooing" back and forth with them. This is why dog are the greatest.

The pup I'm getting next week is a red and white female. Well, not exactly red. Sort of a tan color, but darker than fawn. Should I be looking for certain inherent traits in her? Seems a bit silly to assume that the color of the dog will give it certain behaviors. Is this actually something to be concerned about?

I have read that basenjis real fairly easy to house train. My aunt has a female name Deena and she was really easy to train. Praise is the best reward for a pup who goes outside. Can't wait until next week. I will be getting mine!!

Hello everyone, I'm Jeff. I currently do not own a Basenji but will be the proud owner of a female real soon. Thanks for welcoming. I hope to find some helpful info on these forums.
