  • They look great… as does the new "digs"..... hope your hospital stay is a quick one!

  • So happy to hear they are doing so well. Great pics. Thank you for sharing them with us.
    Hope your stay at the hospital is swift.

  • thank you. it will be for the 2 wks which sucks but then im right for a year or two again :)

    i am very lucky to have my girls. they are my primary motivation apart from my OH and family. they give me lots of smiles and adventures hehe. hopefully when i get back i only get a part time job, then i get to spend even more time with them :)

    thought id post this video i took the other night, i was bored and not interested in my dinner (thats where the girls come in handy of course). they crack me up :)

  • I understand what you mean when they do 'donuts'. I also have to comment on the top of the pop bottle. Mine are very adept at getting the tops off too! I laughed when I saw the pop bottle!!

    haha yay another donut fan :) Hope does them when shes super excited and puts me into fits of laughter. Ebony doesnt seem to find the need to do them. Its great that they are so different. I enjoy watching the 'donuts' i always try and record them but i never get the good ones cos im too busy watching.

    And yes, the popped bottle lid thing is Ebonys little niche. You can give her a bottle with the top on and she'd be amused for ages. She loves getting them off. haha didnt even realise i got the bottle in the photo! basenjis :)

  • Your girls are beautiful :)

    Our Watson often runs in circles getting other dogs at the dog park to chase him…we call it the zoomies here :D

    Hope your hospital stay passes quickly and uneventfully.

  • Absolutely delightful pictures. I love the always touching pics. :) Obviously bonded. Seems like the perfect home. My friend's horses used to play with my Rottie.

    Speedy recovery wishes sent.

  • Thank you for your updates and am so glad that the girls have really bonded. I loved the video as my Tifi has just taught herself to high five at the grand age of 8. I love your photos and it's great that your new home sounds so ideal with playmates and a beach!!

    I hope your trip to hospital goes well and now you know already just how soon the time will pass.

    thank you. yes i couldnt be more pleased with how these two have bonded. Ebby follows her "big sis" around and they are always hanging out. The only time they have a growl is if ones under the covers and the other stands on them haha but apart from that they are usually out running around together or snoozin together.

    thanks for all the well wishes. hope it goes fast so im home with my girls agian

  • Cool photos & makes me think about getting a 2nd basenji, but right now Max hads all my attention when on walks. Maybe in a year.
    Thanks

    @moetmum: A basenji with a KC Gold GC! That just doesn't seem right! You should be really proud of her, that is a real achievement. Don't forget to let us know when she gets it. Hey she hasn't got it yet , Gerry ;) I hope she does, there is such a lot to it. We struggle a bit with heeling off lead.

    she went from being a fussy puppy to being a puppy that just wants and loves food. if you have food she will do any trick you ask her with 110% enthusiasam if it means shes gettin food lol but i am glad shes not a fussy girl! We are waiting to hear back from the breeder to see what pups are reserved and which arent. Very excited. Hope gets to play with a chinese crested at work and she also plays with another two iggies down at the small breed social i run every fortnight, she seems to know that she has to be careful with the smaller dogs :) shes not much into wrestling with others, more or less just wants to run run run! i will have to upload a video of her and yoshi (the chinese crested) playing at work (the most ive seen her play! as usually its just tag, now chase me!) and will post the link here. So funny and cute. will post iggie baby photos once a decision's made :) EDIT: Video link to them playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDTjuz_tNpM

    hehe she is great, we always try to get her to yodel and make noises and she always greets us, when we've been out, with yodels so we are very pleased :D She also lets us know when people are around with a short "bark" @irena: Ha ha, I have to say you are the great yodeler also :D. From our 4 only Buju yodels. hahahaha thanks ;) anything to keep her going! After she has done her yodels and stops we occasionally yodel to her and she just looks at us like "seriously? what are you on! stop that!"

    @AJs: I have been placed several times into the position of having something that was illegal simply because while I had acquired an object legally, a law was subsequently passed making that object a crime to own. I believe in 4th Amendment guarantee to security in my property, house, person and effects from unreasonable search and seizure as well as 5th Amendment protection against deprivation of life, liberty and property without due process. If what I own does not injure anyone else and I acquired it legally, I don't believe it is anyone's business what I have. Further, I believe that simply passing a law against something because the majority of people voting on it don't like it does not constitute due process, especially if I previously acquired that item legally. Sheesh! When are people in this country going to learn to mind their own business! Well said, AJs Human! Especially when it comes to simple things like owning animals that are not dangerous, not endangered, do not hurt anyone, do not make noise to irritate the neighbors, etc! If it's a tiger or an elephant, I'd understand… but a pygmy hedgehog or a fish? And if I can drive to another state to legally buy it and I keep it on my own personal property and take good care of it, why should anyone care? Cheers to you!!
