Beach Trip :)

Well we had to push back our camping trip (leaving on Wensday now) due to the rain so we decided to head to the beach for Hope's first time! Enjoy the pics

Didn't anyone tell Hope that basenjis are supposed to dislike water? Looks like she is fine with it. Great family photos - thanks so much for sharing them.

hahaha oh she still hates water. The other half was hosing the boat off and accidentally got her with it and she Screamed not yelped but screamed lol she wont go anywhere near a hose (even before the OH got her with the hose) and if water is involved - bye bye. That includes Rain too lol

For some reason she didnt mind the puddles at the beach though and shes very good when we give her a bath after her beach trip, she just lets us do what we want to her, very trusting.

Love her to bits

Understandably so! Maybe she is fine with puddles because she feels more 'in control' - that is, SHE can engage herself with the water when SHE wants to. As far as bathing her, I think the trust she has in you makes her feel comfortable with it. And being a basenji, she probably loves the clean feeling she has after a bath. Of course, I am sure she does the final licking after you have bathed her!

Hahaha, Kipawa. I thought the same thing. I love the picture of her surging away from your partner. Amazing energy!

She certainly looks whacked after her great Seaside Adventure!
