    Last week Nexa caught her first chipmunk and flipped it up in the air like it was a toy, after it landed it got away under the fence. Today, the chipmunk was not so lucky. When you have two B's chasing one chipmunk, the chipmunk doesn't have a chance (neither did the now destroyed flower beds:mad:). Is there anything we should watch Nexa and Leo for health wise after their tug of war with this thing, worms…etc? As fun as it was for them, the cheese in the house was too tempting and they came in when I called:D I think they went completely deaf during the chase though.

    Tapeworms and other worms are usually the big concern.

    Mine killed numerous jack rabbits, rats and even a pheasant. Lucky I guess they never got anything.

    We have one of those toys, but it is chicken, not a fish, one of their faovites, no stuffing left in large parts of its body, but it still works like a charm..they love it. I am glad Buddy is back to jis normal spunky self after his ordeal that other week.. He is looking good..:D

    Oh yes the hunter dogs… Charlie is still tormented by the adult birds at our dog park. Last spring a baby fell from the tree and hurt itself quite badly. I didn't even realize what Charlie was so interested in untill all the adult birds started freaking out and chasing him around the park. To this day they still seem to remember that he is the bad dog. :)

    @tasha: I'm fairly new to the world of basenjis. My boy is 3. So this may not mean a thing but I've never heard of 'wild basenjis'. Everything I've read and heard says that they have never been wild and have always been domestic/family/village dogs. My sister-in-law and her parents lived in Africa for quite a few years when she was growing up.(Tanzania and Kenya) They said that there were many wild, mongrel-type dogs that had basenji features in their vicinity.
