The joys of jackal

Basenji Talk
  • AKM1967A

    Jackal wanted to play one morning so he proceeded to try to wake us up at 4:30am!!! I wear my hair in a ponytail, so he started playing with it. He also kept jumping on the bed and then jumping down. At one point, he even unplugged the alarm clock!

    When Jackal is ready to go to bed, he will come in the living room and just look at us, then turn and around and go into the bedroom. He continues this for sometime before he finally gives up!

    One day, my husband and I were watching t.v and out of no where Jackal comes running up to me and right before he gets to me he jumped up with both paws. He wanted to play. It was so funny how he did it.

    Jackal is such a joy to be around even though I have already went through 3 pairs of flip flops, I now have those up to where he can't get them. Along with keys, change, purse and so on!

    We now have everything put up where he can't reach anything.

    He is such a joy to be around and makes us laugh with his antics. :)

    Ah yeah though the site that I saw clearly had a picture of a Basenji representing the breed! Your link, they look nothing like Bs

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    That looks familiar! Cody also LOVES paper towels. We use them as napkins during dinner and if he gets one he prances around the house as if to say "SCORE"! He looks proudest when he has a contraband paper towel in his mouth! He also likes the occasional toilet paper, but really, Bounty paper towels are IT for him!
