Basenji Rental Service?

Basenji Talk
  • KebasmomK

    So I find myself working in Honolulu. Been here a week and a half and still have a week and a half to go. I'm missing my furkids something terrible. I find myself hoping I'll see someone walking a Basenji so I can get my fix but nope! Wish there was such a thing as a Basenji rental service! I have been sleeping better though because I have the WHOLE bed :D

    Since getting (2yrs. old) Sahara no matter where we go we miss her terribly. She is such a snuggle bunny and loves to be with us wherever we go that to not have her shadow behind us is just unreal. Two weeks ago we went to Florida to visit family and we didn't worry about her b/c she was in a great Canine Country Club. We still missed her and was so glad to get back home to her, she is our baby. It is probably not good that we love her so much, but we just can't help it, haha!!!!

    It's funny. I think I miss my Bs more than I miss my husband…(hope he doesn't read this) I always bring the dogs pineapple cookies and sometimes a new Hawaiian print bandana. Last time I bought dog leis for all of them. Wonder if they make Hawaiian shirts for dogs.......:o)

    LOL, I have seen them on some websites, I'm sure you can find them there, and of course if you do you need to share photos

    I was in Hawaii a couple years ago and got Reggie a bandana that said "My mom went to Hawaii and all I got was this lousy bandana" LMAO (I did get him other things but I couldn't resist the funny bandana

    Cleopatra is 7 years old now. Her job is to press against me to keep me grounded and get me out of dark areas with people. She'll start licking to help me when I start stimming and get shaky. If the depression is bad she comes and sits near me and cries. Some days I can go without her but others she stays near me and goes where I go.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!
