I was living in Ghana for a few years and the year before I left had gotten my dog as a puppy from a neighbor. We became so attached, of course, that I couldn't leave him behind. It actually was very easy to bring a dog into the country–only a proof of rabies vaccination was required (surprising since the US has the strictest immigration laws for people!). He has adjusted very well, loves taking walks with a leash (in ghana he would run wild, and follow me around on my bicycle.) He refuses to walk in wet grass, though, which is something I think he shares with basenjis? I didn't post any pictures of how his forehead wrinkles--that's when he looks most like a basenji!

My last 2 Basenjis and my cat did well together. Buddy does not understand why cats on our walks don't want to play with him. He tries to tease them into play but of course it's hissing or run away. He stands there wagging his tall as the cat has a hunched back.

Wonderful pics! What kind of cat is that?
It's a Bengal cat, a cat that is still a new breed (they mixed it with the wild tiger cat)
It has a bit the same caracter as a Basenji -
That's just too cute!
-
They are just gorgeous!

I love the second photo where he is licking the kitten! Too sweet!

My girls have learned to leave the cat alone, pretty much, after scarring has occurred. Gemma though, keeps trying to get her to play - she makes noises and goes down in front of the cat, who of course, hisses and swats her a good one - she has more fur than Shaye, so she has some protection, but I swear sometimes that cat eggs her on, lying right next to her favorite toys, etc., so Gemma can't get to them. It's funny to watch.
