We miss our kids!!

    We are having basenji withdrawals. My parents agreed to watch our B's for us while we went on vacation last week and we don't get them back until Saturday. Twelve days without our kids is just too long!!

    They are having a great time being spoiled by Grandma and Papa, but we can't wait for them to come home!

    You're on vacation yet you're not because there's that empty feeling. Now you're longing to get home.

    Just wait you said spoiled by grandma and papa. Enjoy your vacation as the kids may not let you rest for a few days after you get home. Really I am sure they miss you also. Looks like fun days ahead.

    People have told me that they took their dog to doggie day care while on vacation and the dog had such a good time it didn't want to go home.

    Nobarkus this can be true 2 years ago this November we found a Shiba Inu running loose and we caught her called all numbers on the collar and let messages. No one ever called us back I took the number and found the address went there no answer at door left message.

    This went on until first of year. Called dog catcher no one was looking for her. My daughter started calling her Missy for the missing dog. Just after first year lady called and it was her owner she had been in hosp and had been very sick.

    She wanted to come get her dog and we were all happy I ask her if she could come about four after my daughter got home from school I knew she would want to say good bye.

    When lady came Missy had nothing to do with her at all. Lady had to put a leash on her and drag her out of our house. About broke our hearts happy she had her home back but she did not want to go. Lady told us she had five others and was getting a new puppy another Shiba, Missy was about nine months old.

    So it does work that away about not wanting to go home.

    Well if nothing else, they will be happy to be home because they get to sleep with us. My parents don't let them sleep with them, so I know that will be a happy reason for them to be home…for them and us!

    And Janneke, if we had gone anywhere other than Las Vegas I would have brought them with us!! That just didn't seem like a good place for the B's!

    It's tough enough to trust B's with our belongings. Having B's with you and your wallet in Vegas just sounds like trouble.

    They'll need a good romp at the park when you get home!!! I know Kona and Keoki will be glad to have you back. Enjoy Vegas!

    I recently returned from a week's vacation and picked up Gossy from her "vacation" (she stayed with the breeder). She was happy there but still happy to see me. When we got home though she was just crazy - running everywhere, couldn't chase enough squirrels, throwing blankets and pillows off couches and beds - I didn't know whether she was happy to be home or just getting back at me :D

    Thanks for checking with basenji people regarding suitability of basenjis as therapy dogs! While I have known of a couple who were used as therapy dogs, as a rescue volunteer, I've also taken in basenjis from families relinquishing them out of fear for the safety of their special needs children. Either seek an adult (over two years old) with the right personality or a carefully bred pup whose parents have the right personality. For the pup, correct early training is very important. Through my volunteer activities, I have had many opportunities to see the results of less than ideal early training. I hope they are successful in finding the right dog for their family.

    Crazy, unusual funny stuff our basenjis do. A topic that will keep us all in stitches even as we may weep over all the other behaviors. Remind our selves why we love these kids soooo much

    Are we playing "Where's AJ"? Is it Kansas City? Glad you and your fella are reunited. I know I've missed my boy when i've had to kennel him and can't pick him up 'til the next day 'cause they are closed. So hard to know he's right there and not be able to see him.

    @etzbseder: I just had it re-assured that basenjis are partly just a 2-3 year old child. My roommates kid is visiting, and his mom is having the same arguments with their 3 year old son as I have with Medjai. "You just played, now you MUST go to the bathroom. I know you don't want to, but trust me, you have to." "Take a nap, you played all morning, and you always want to play later." They both will just look to see when the parent isn't looking and do what they're not supposed to. I always tell people that having a Basenji is like having a perpetual 2 yr old….so actually, you give Medjai more credit than I give mine, LOL.

    :D :D :D Just went though this with EL D – especially the part about snuffling through the dirt pile I was just getting ready to sweep into the garbage. Then there's the "hey wait, don't throw that away, I still want it" part where he drags something disgusting out of the garbage before I can get it out the door. And vacuuming -- ha -- it's "let's play chicken with this beast" (luckily EL D never goes after the cords) and almost knocking stuff over trying not to get hit. :D :D :D
