Baroooing at 4:00am

  • luzmery928L

    I have to tell you that one of the million's of things I absolutly love about out new girl is the fact that she baroos. This morning she was sleeping in the living room and let out two loud baroos. I jumped out of bed with a smile eventhough it was only 4am but how i love the sound of that! I didn't go see what was going on but just opened the bedroom door and whistled for her but instead Champ comes running in the room begging to be let into bed with us. She didn't even come so I'm imagining it was a dream. Don't you just love that singing. Now she's teaching our boy to do it too and sometimes he'll even join in on our baroo song:p

    I have had just about 2-3 night baroos, he doesnt even wake up.
    And I love them, even though it scared me the first time.
    Squiggy is pretty much mute and will do a low soft rooo that sounds more like rerrrrr about once a month when he is really excited.
    But he does the "yawn-ie" noise all the time, so I take what I can get:D

    My mom's B is so vocal! infact she always comments on the fact that these are suppose to be the barkless dogs…. barkless is not silent :p

    lol they are not silent. My girl is so vocal..she makes noise all the time. Just this morning she did something like a squirrel sound. My boy is less verbal but he's picking it up from his sis.

    Athena doesn't baroo that often, but it's usually when someone she is excited to see comes home. Or she feels we haven't given her sufficient attention.

    She 'grumbles' a lot though, sort of rumbly chat with herself or whoever she is talking to. She had a ball that made noise when it rolled and she chatted back at it 'rrra rrra ya'. Pretty funny.

    She makes this real pitiful high squeak when she feels like she has been in her crate too long. Arrr? Arrrr you going to let me out?

    I really tried to video my daily routine when I get home after work letting out all the dogs…..but the video feature on my digital camera needs a lot of light or it's hard to get a good picture.

    All seven dogs in their crates, with at least two or three of them barooing their fool head off. The head female just grumbles at everyone as she's let out of her crate and the Terrier mix is just shreiking with excitement!

    Aside from the Baroo's, Willy and Penny make a sound that sounds very much like a chimp........crazy dogs!

    It just kills me when people say, I'd love those dogs, they don't make noise like mine do. Oh yeah?????:D

    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

    @sammm Basenjis are a long and winding road. My first was a challenge at first as I had no idea that a Basenji was different from a “normal” dog lol. After the first year, I found myself looking for information on the internet to find out why he was so different. At one point I seriously wondered if maybe he was just crazy or something. I was very surprised to find out he was actually just doing normal Basenji things and that they are all like that lol. As with most things, when they are challenging and hard work, the final rewards are greater and more cherished. This year is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, a great achievement that was not easy, required a lot of hardship and work, along with some luck. But because of those things, the achievement was greater and more rewarding. Those who endure the difficulties and bond with their dogs, would in the end never change a thing. They are very rewarding, over time you will get back more fun, laughs, education, love and affection than you can put in. The day comes all too soon when you will wish they were howling all night in the kitchen because they wanted to be with you or chewing the $20 bills from you wallet because they were bored. Enjoy the moment, that is the Basenji way.

    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.
