Zeba's call of the wild….

  • Oh, this poor b…glad she is over it.

  • It must have felt good to have validation of how much you mean to her! Of course it also makes you a little sad that they are missing you. Your son must not have been amused!? Not everyone appreciates the sounds of a basenji!
    O- how quickly they do get over it, lol. But of course I sympathize that no ones wants their bops to be upset

  • You may remember that I rescued Zeba at the end of April, when I bought her from a BYB that had never socialized Zeba- she had spent her short life (she turned 1 in December) outside in a kennel, and the family didn't want her because she killed their chickens.

    Zeba is still a little skittish around men, but her progress as a normal basenji is remarkable! I could take credit for her, I suppose, but I chalk it up to the basenji spirit of resiliency and adaptability to their conditions. She is 99% housetrained and a close "sister" to Lola.

    My original intent was to get her socialized and then to give her away… that is impossible! :)

  • Yup, looks like she is "home' for sure. My Eddie is a "long term foster" too.

  • Ah, well, another failed foster. Glad you realized that and everyone is happy

  • Awwww, the poor little thing! So glad she has found her forever home because it looks like she fits right in.

  • You've obviously made up so much for her earlier experiences. Well done to you.

    What breed is the bigger dog in yor picture, please?

  • Hehe. Multiply that times 6+ dogs and that's what my house sounds like all day/night during breeding season. :p

  • Anubis does that too!! Mom said last time she watched him for me when I went to the store he did that for like 20min till he tired himself out and went to sleep

  • @Patty:

    Thank you Patty…. Zeba is learning that people aren't painful thanks to the patience of people around us... if you are asking me about the brindle colored dog behind them, she is a mix at the dog park~ I will find out! :)

    Keep in mind, unless you correct them "in the act" they really have no clue that they have done something wrong, or more to the point "what they did wrong"…. shredding is pretty natural to a Basenji

    Usually we put presents under the tree, but I just don't dare since getting the B girls! Presents all hide in closets until it's actually time for them to be opened. We always wrap special treats for the girls and the cat as well, so they can tear something open to get to the goodies. Then the treats keep them busy while everyone else is unwrapping. The great-grandkids have been warned NOT to leave their stuff on the floor or where they look like dog toys on tables, etc.

    Yes, Bungwa will toss any of his toys into the air and catch them but definitely will not catch anything I throw. He has no competition because the others just look and say 'Boooring'!!! Interesting about your best hunters being fetchers, Quercus. I wonder if there's a reason in it or whether it's a coincidence!?

    @AJs: It's just AJ and I. He's great. Only time I've had a problem with him waking me up was when he was sick with the runs for three days. He would whine to wake me up and go outside. Been there, done that. Gotta love those 3 a.m. wake-up calls, especially when its freezing outside.:)
