  • I love that pic. lol
    It so typical. If I'm not home when hubby goes to bed Zoe drives him nuts because she will push at the covers until he will finally let her under. I dont fight it I will have them up and waiting before she gets on the bed..


  • Too funny. Kananga looks like that with his new fleece blanket. He stares at me until I throw the blanket over him, and then he goes to sleep and I don't see him till the morning. :D


  • hmm, looks like it must be cold where you are


  • LOL, good one Belinda!


  • Gosh, I see that nose thing almost every morning, even in the summer, he just does not want to get out from under his blankie. It's like trying to wake up a tweenager (no, not a mistype). However, and I had no part in this teaching, if that's what it can be called, it seems that as soon as I start brushing my teeth he, most of the time, decides that its, at least time to start moving. Sometimes that is actually getting out of bed, but sometime that's just the 'Big 'ol "Stretch' with the head coming out from under Blankie. At that point it just a matter of being the 'mean mom' and pulling Blankie off him and he knows its time to go out….and all is right with the world.:D


  • That is just too cute


  • That's very cute! Lycia and Tillo look exactly the same in the morning.. when you call them you see two walking blankets! Too funny.. (the funniest part is that they don't shake the blankets off until they hit a wall or something :D)

  • Houston

    So cute, great pictures.
    Otis will do the same thing, but he is all the way under, cuddly as all get out..


  • Benji used to sleep under the covers and sometimes the cats would come into the bedroom and jump on the bed. The funniest thing was sometimes they would be on top of him without realising and start kneading, all you could hear were low growls as they trod him like a grape :D


  • And here I thought my prima donna teenage girls were special…
    Lola flat out INSISTS I hold the blankets open for her to crawl under. She uses her cold nose to peck at my face and shoulders until I comply. She started this the very FIRST night she was home with us! She came home from the breeder's like this, and she never slept in a bed at the breeder's, so I don't know where on earth she got this from.
    Callie will give me the creepy stare until I lift the blankets for her. She slept in a crate with her littermate at night before she came to live with me, and it took her a couple of weeks to figure out where Lola was going at night. Since then, she insists on being under the covers as well.
    They will both sleep all day under the covers if I let them.
    Two months after Callie came home to live with us, I went out of town, and Callie's breeder kept Lola & Callie for the weekend. They both slept in separate crates downstairs (dogs aren't allowed upstairs at the breeder's house). In the middle of the night, Callie's breeder woke up to find Callie in bed with her! She had escaped out of her crate, jumped a babygate & found a cozy bed to sleep in. No more crates for her!


  • :D :D your post made me laugh Andrew

    That's too funny! Smart Callie! :D


  • And for some weird reason, the breeder thinks I spoil my girls…. I can't imagine why :D

    I'm glad i'm not the only one with with a B that insists we raise the blanket/covers for them. Even when I do, I usually get woken up in the middle of the night with paws in my face. They feel the need to stretch out because they are now warm… :D


  • Magnum is under/over the covers a number of times every night. The weird thing is, if he's under, he prefers to snuggle against my husband, if he's over, he prefers to snuggle with me. (I think I overheat him when he's under (my DH starting calling me his furnace…when that certain point of a woman's life started) and I'm also a very restless sleeper.)

    Leave it to a Basenji to let you know exactly what his wishes are!


  • Sonny's favorite place is under the blankets! One day a few weeks ago I had gotten out of the shower and usually he's right there waiting for me. this day he was no where to be found. its hard to loose a crazy basenji in a small place. but I couldn't find him anywhere. UNTIL I noticed a snoring lump on the bed under the covers. He had never gotten in the bed before without me being there 1st…Now its' the firts place I look when he disappears! :p


  • lilu doesn't like being under the covers much, she just tries her hardest to find her way out lol. cute pics everyone!


  • Love the pics of Sonny, he looks so comfy and warm.
    Here are a couple of pics of my last Basenji, Benji

    What a pretty girl! Her head/ears/face & wrinkles are Basenji-looking while her coloring & build suggest some Malanois blood–that would account for her size & aloofness, too. Our local SPCA does genetic testing as a fund-raising thing, if you're really curious you could try something like that...

    The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.

I leave the sledding to the family when they come to stay! You certainly all look as though you're enjoying yourselves.

    @Lovelace: Really? What ones? I don't know of any that have all the criteria? I've done extensive research on the breeds, and i'm curious I don't recall any. I think Pat means lots of dogs have one or more of these traits. Those three things all together MAY be an indication that the dog does have some basenji in it…but not for sure. Because the dog could be a boxer/husky mix...and end up with right color/markings, pointy ears, a curly tail, and have wrinkle on the forehead (lots of dogs have wrinkles around the face). Rat terriers are notorious for looking like Basenjis...but the shape of their head is slightly different, and the breed was founded using some Basenji way back. Another thing to remember is that after several generations of mixing, all dogs tend to go back to a natural or pariah dog shape...squarish, brown, pointy ears, slightly curled tail...that is just the natural phenotype of "dog"...so a dog might end up looking Basenji-ish even if there is no actual Basenji there. I am not refering specifically to the OP...that dog does look like it might have some Basenji in it..or Rat terrier...but it is REALLY hard to say for sure. It doesn't matter really, because everyone is welcome here...Basenji, mix, B-look alike...welcome...
