Oakley-Mirror

Basenji Talk

  • I'll have to get a picture but I have a floor mirror that Oakley just can't get enough of. It has been a week and at first he would inch up to it and growl, slowly he gained more confidence to go up to it and try to get "to the other side"…now he will spend hours in front of it just sitting there staring at himself. He can't pass up a mirror!

    Also, today was his first B500 with me, it came about because of the mirror...apparently today he thought it was funny :rolleyes:


  • My son's Sidhe, gets into my makeup chair and then taps my mirror, which lights with finger touch, and sits there and enjoys how very pretty she is.

    :) Clever girl! She should be elevated to supermodel status.

    Isn't the B500 wonderful! After hearing about it for a year, I was anxiously awaiting Kipawa doing it. It was a joy for us experiencing his first one. So glad you enjoyed yours!


  • When Liyah was a pup she would see her reflection in our stereo cabinet door. She would yodel to it and bring her toys and play bow, etc. She thought her reflection was a little friend. It was the cutest thing - and she would always try to play with her "friend" when the 2 adults basenjis had enough of her and wouldn't play with her.

    So funny..Pippin can't walk past my big new shiny stove without prancing and running up to it and look at himself in the reflection..so funny..

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    @chealsie508 - I just heard from the breeder in MD that I spoke about.... can I get your email so I can connect the both of you? She might be able to help with finding a good vet for Oakley. You can email me, address you can find on my website, link below.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
