Balloons

Basenji Talk
  • Mica and I were out on another walk when it was foggy outside in the evening. She is ok on that but than we walked by a small painted white sign with a hinge at the top resting on the road, about 2-feet wide and three feet tall, advertising flowers or something (here's the catch…) with three balloons dangling from the top of the sign sitting near the driveway into the flowershop at the small shopping mall. Mica looked at them, put her paws on the sign to lean on it, and one by one, nabbed her teeth into the balloons and each went pop. With narry a thought. Mica likes popping balloons! And they were someone elses balloons on an advertising sign. I didn't stop her, and was hoping they wouldn't see this basenji popping balloons. A new toy for her. Now how do you stop a basenji from enjoying itself? :D :rolleyes:

    She likes to chase flys too. :eek:

    BaMicas mom :D

  • LOL… that is too cute, you should have had a video!

  • LOL!!
    I haven't ever witnessed my B popping balloons. But, if I'm blowing bubbles, she loves to jump around trying to "catch" them in her mouth.

  • That is cute!!! A video would have been great…LOL

    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?

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    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.
