    Why or why not?

    Here is a video of a German man marrying his cat.

    People are exceedingly strange sometimes. As to the rhetorical question about marrying one of our dogs - hell no, everything would have to be done their way!!!:p All kidding aside, I heard on the news this morning that a 64 year old man here in Florida was arrested for animal cruelty for having sex with his dog. He evidently took the dog to the vet and asked what was wrong with her, because "she doesn't seem to enjoy it any more." This guy needs chemical castration and never to be allowed around dogs again!!!:mad:

    Not to worry, everyone. I posted because I thought the story was humourous. Yet I know there are people that are 'unbalanced' out there that think strange thoughts about animals. :(

    In our local newspaper a couple of weeks ago was a story about a lady who left millions and millions of dollars (upon her death) to her dogs. Her Will specified the dogs were still to live in the mansion she lived in, and have their own care givers, maids, etc. Rather eccentric, but I suppose that was done with the best of intentions.

    I just thought it might be fun to find out the traits that you like in your dogs that you wish a spouse had - picking up their socks? Eating all of the food from their plates, and not complaining about what you give them for supper? That kind of thing.

    No hard feelings taken at all, Sharron. And I am sorry if my post came across incorrectly.

    About six years ago, a 14 year old in Africa married a dog to ward of bad luck. The photo provided was of this little girl in pink sharing a place of rice with a spotted basenji. My Dad found it and left it on the counter with a note "was Blaze invited to his brother's wedding?"

    I would marry Topper (platonically, of course), he is my heart dog. Though he is stubborn and independent, he is a charmer and a 'good looker' and melts my heart. And he keeps my feet warm.

    And for Shaye's mom: here in the Sunshine State beastiality is not illegal! Hence the animal cruelty charge, rather than the sexual deviant charge. All the weirdos wind up here.

    MacPack: Yes, I know bestiality isn't illegal here - how stupid, and they did mention that on the radio.

    Also, the whole gang probably would platonically marry Topper, he is such a dear. My Shaye would REALLY like to marry Topper.

    @CrazyBasenjiMom I live in the very Southern tip of Indiana & we get some pretty cold winters & there's a lot of humidity so it's a real "biting" cold & if the winds blowing ~ it feels like razor blades are in it!! If no one else wants the sweaters, I'd be glad to have them for my next b that I'm waiting on getting!! But if someone else lives in a colder area & wants them, they can get them! If no one else wants them, I'll be happy to have them. Before my Mother passed last yr., she'd knit up one for everyday of the week & one to wear on wash-day!! :)

Stubborn - definitely both - We prefer the term indepentent thinkers Very inquisitive (have to know what is going on) - yup - well, them yes, me not so much. High strung - hooboy! Active yet can be very lazy…. also totally us. Smart/learn quickly - them yes - me - well, they teach very well but me? - see "determined" above.

    Hunters with their Basenjis

    I take Blaze into the senior's lodge to go visit Grandma (in a town of less than 300), sure enough, there's a gentleman there that knew what Blaze was. He was an archeologist back in his day. His last dig was in 1976 deep in the Congo, and he stayed with villagers and witnessed the hunts and the lives of the basenjis in the village. He told me about one hunt. The basenjis chase antelope into huge nets that are strung up in the forest like barriers. The nets are handmade with ropes and vines. Some of the hunters stay near the net and hide, the majority of the hunters take the basenjis to the water hole and wait. When the antelope arrived, they release the basenjis and chase behind almost soundlessly. You can really hear the gourd bells, which are mostly around the loins. The antelope hit the net and are shot with arrows. The basenjis have to get beaten off… they get a little too excited. He has some amazing pictures. I'm trying to borrow his album to scan, but he's not comfortable with that idea. He loves Blaze though and he knows the african word for the breed which I can never remember or pronounce.

    There is a commonly used dog in TV and commercials that is either a Rat Terrier, or a corgi/terrier/basenji/chi mix….I have seen in on law and order, and some other more recent commercials...might be that one. Or it could be a real B...I haven't seen either of the ones mentioned.
