No Sandal Is Safe

Basenji Talk
  • By the way what a beautiful big backyard u have :)

  • yes, that looks like an awesome place for a basenji to run around. nice high fence :)

  • wow, yeah, i'm drooling over your backyard. maybe Piper liked the sandle cause it matches her coat? lol. although i can't quite tell if the sides of the sandle are white or yellow. i love the one where its in front of her face and you can't even see her face. :)

  • Great story and great pics :D

    You can never really outsmart a basenji, can you?;)

    Love your backyard!

  • Hahaha. Dallas always goes for my flipflops!!! He runs around with them in his mouth & I know he's thinking "come & get it mom!!!" Too cute :)

  • Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the yard.

    Here's a better picture of it, although there's not really much to it, unlike some of the amazingly landscaped yards some people here have.

    I really am thankful though to have a big flat backyard for Piper to be able to run in, although I'm sure she wishes there were some trees so she would be able to chase squirrels. She desperately tries to catch birds in the yard but she's never able to even get close. So she has to settle for chasing me around the yard, although with all her energy I think I might have to start feeding the squirrels or something to get them in the yard and save me from all the running.:)

    And of course the one problem with having a big backyard is that you just have to walk that much further to get your sandals back after she's run off with them.:D

  • For saving you the running just get another basenji :rolleyes: ; sure it could end up with a sandal each, and you double the amount of running after them :D

  • WOW that is an unbelievable backyard :0 Around here in Mass that would be just a pipe dream lol All 3 of my dogs are in the other room I think i hear them packen there overnight bag and there heading down to ur yard lol lol :) And i'm sure in there heads there thinking ….. Man we got gipped ...... lol

  • I love Piper's looks, she is solid black on one side, and a nice white "collar" on the other. Looks like a completely different dog!

    Anne in Tampa, also jealous of your nice big yard!

  • Thanks MacPack, I love Piper's half collar too, I've had a couple people ask me how white she was going to turn because the first time they saw her they only saw her black side and when they saw her again they saw the other side and thought she must be turning more white.

    And anyone that wants to send your dogs down here feel free, I'm sure Piper would love some playmates.:D

    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

    I put a dab of butter inside his actual kong. His eyes lit up as soon as he caught the scent of the butter. He's too comical…. :D
