on the heat of the sun???? Basenji love the heat. If you had a fireplace, it will be within inches of the hot logs.
Tripping Basenjis
-
ALLLLLLLL the time :eek: :eek: they are always behind you when you LEAST expect it. And we're running they like to trip me too…& that's no fun :mad:

I – because I am an idiot
-- keep my dogs' treats in the laundry room, in a cupboard above the dryer.
Every time I go into the laundry room to do my laundry, Keoki is RIGHT THERE, hopeful. I trip over him going in with loads of laundry to do; I trip over him coming out with baskets of clean laundry.{He also likes to try to grab the clothes as they go from washer to dryer. He sits at the dryer door, grabbing things as they fly by}.
I need to find a new place for the dog treats.

We learned to just keep our feet low to the ground when the dogs are underfoot. That way you can scoot them out of the way instead of stepping on them. It is a littel more difficult now with the puppy since she does not have the super tall Basenji legs just yet.

Yea - low to the floor and scoot them aside - kind of like trying to walk thru my son's game room. You never know what you'll step on in that mess (Legos hurt so bad!) It's something though b/c I would think the trainable critters would catch on at some point . . . but No! As long as we have these little entertaining fur babies - we're the ones who have to learn and walk carefully keeping our temper and sense of humor in tact.

OW! Legos. Yes.

OOOOOHHHH noooo-barbie shoes have to be the worst! At least with B's you learn to shuffle a bit more!

Jojo ALWAYS stops right in the middle of the hall or the doorway or so close to an end piece of furniture, i.e. bed, etc…, that you either trip over her, startle her so she starts to stand up and you end up with your foot coming into contact with her and she makes her typical B noises and you feel just awful or you have to go out of your way, or at least it seems that way, to go around the furniture...for such an intelligent breed sometimes I am not sure how much "comon sense" they have, LOL...or maybe it is just us...
-
Pongo always finds a way to stand right behind me in the kitchen, so when I turn around, I knock into him, then he SCREAMS like I just did something horrible to him…I think he knows I flip out and hug him and give him treats when he screams...could be a bad lesson for him, but whatever.

Senji has a habit of running back and forth between my bedroom and the front door to let me know he wants to go outside. As soon as I walk out into the hallway, he'll stop dead in his tracks and do a basenji bow-stretch and almost trip me.
-
Nala will sometimes sit at my feet while I am doing dishes…she is so warm and still that I sometimes forget and -- DUH! almost trip and fall over. She has almost taken out a few of our guests at times though...
