The Essence of a Basenji Owner

Basenji Talk
  • Had to chuckle when I received the following message on Facebook from one of our previous puppy buyers:

    Can you send us an e-mail? Raider ate our purchase agreement so I no longer have your e-mail address. We do want another puppy this winter, Raider is the best Basenji!

    Only a B owner would think that it was just fine for the "best Basenji" to have eaten the purchase agreement. And this is from the people who called us not long after they got him to say that Raider had found a hole in the side of their family room couch, which he made into his own Habitrail by eating all the way through and out the other side. They thought he was so clever!

    Sounds like they were prepared for a Basenji! :D

  • Love this story :)

  • Yes, they are "naturals" for basenji ownership. Admiration of your basenji's cleverness is a wonderful point of view!

    Ha ha ha , and just think it's only the beginning. We have discovered thar B's and Shiba Inu' s are all sisters's under the skin. Our 14yo Shiba, Sable, 5 yo B, Bitty,and the 2 yo B, Mr Baroo have tried their best to totally destroy our 3 cushion sofa, and 2 cushion love seat. They have torn the cover from all 4 arms and dug neat little nests in the center of all the cushions, just the right size for B's and Shiba's to curl up in. Karin says that if they ever grow out of it we are going to purchase a new living room set, but there dosent seem to be any chance of that happening any time soon.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    He is completely joking about the rabies and vet. Both my babies had their rabies shot and up to dye on shots. My arm is fine now I have been taking care of it. Thank ya for your concerns. Everything he wrote did happen he was just being silly with the whole voodoo magic.
