    Today i was playing with Malaika with her toys on the rug. She's been a lot better recently and not biting me or my clothes. Today however she got a bit carried away and lunged for my face. We clashed teeth, and i don't know who was more shocked, her or me :D

    Malaika is like my Buddy. Sometimes he gets too rambunctious and I have to watch out when I'm down low with him playing as he will collide head on into me. I have to keep my head up and back or turned away. I have a friend that got her nose broke because she had her head down and the dog bobbed up really fast. When they get excited and playful their moves can be powerfully fast and unpredictable.

    I think these Basenjis forget that they are more resilient than us… :D

    Yes we have seen many baby teeth he has spit out. It does seem it would be related to teething. We did talk tot he breeder and she said it may be due to getting male hormones. (Which Diesel is probably also doing since he has started to pee with his leg up day before yesterday.) The breeder also suggested posting a thread to a basenji forum and see what others have experienced.

    My B too lost some spunk during teething…less appetite, loose stools as well. About two weeks ago she got her last two big girl teeth in (her canines) and all went back to normal.

    Indi has been teething and he actually likes to CARRY his teeth around. He will make the teething face (kind of like hes tasted something bitter and is smacking his lips with his toung sticking out) finally get it out and spend the rest of his time picking it up, carrying it about 5 ft and spitting it out. Then if no one notices he will continue doing this untill we take it away. Its wierd, really wierd but when he is holding it you see his best show dog prance while he is walking around.

    I have seen Mica when she goes on point with her tail straight out and her front and back paws CAREFULLY matching each step chatter her jaw - It kind of goes open and shut and wanders open and shut that way. She is like an arrow waiting to fly out of the bow onto the suspected target. She never stops that behavior, either. Than she makes a mad dash for the squirrel or critter and will do doggie-ups on the side of a tree - maybe 6-8 feet up the side than down. Than shell do it again just because she has to try again. I think she is getting some really strong chest muscles. I think it might me intense excitement and anticipation. Micas mom
