Someone is getting a bath tonight…

  • First Basenji's

    I haven't had a whole lot of time to post lately, between school, work, Cody, and packing, but today I was outside reading while Cody was playing when I noticed he had gotten quiet, so I looked around for him and found him laying in the ashy fire pit. Apparently it was comfortable though.

    The pictures were taken with my cellphone, so they aren't all that great:

    oh that is hilarious…yes, a bath is def. needed after that.
    Pippin is the same way though..when we have burned leaves and brush in the past he has been all in it the next day..never laid down in it , but sure dug around and sniffed it.


  • he looks nice and comfy!


  • The photos are great! Thanks for sharing them. He is so funny!


  • That is total natural Basenji INSTINCT!!!

    Our breeder, Katie, recently went to the Congo. She actually brought back three different Basenji puppies on her trip. Long, fascinating story.

    What she noticed is was how all the Basenjis would sit in the fire pits. Apparently all the native Basenjis do this. Obviously the residual warmth from the previous nights camp fire is the attraction. But they also get into the habit when there is no warmth left. Some of the African Basenjis do have bad scars from misjudging just how "warm" some of these camp coals are though…


  • ROFLMAO, that is just soooo BASENJI. LOL.

    That is the saddest thing I have ever seen. It must rip your heart apart to have a dog that is so opposed to being close to you. LOL.

    You and Scarlett will enjoy the class - and it already sounds like you have a lot of the basics going very, very well. :) I found the part of the class I didn't like was the first 10 minutes where all dogs were allowed off leash to socialize. With FoPaws puppies being so well socialized, I found that first 10 minutes just wound up Kipawa so much, with all the playing! Then, it took me a good 10 minutes to calm him down enough to really work well in the class. The good news is that I am seeing as Kipawa ages and becomes more respectful he doesn't need to go wild when he first meets a new dog. I also think that not taking him to the play area off leash park is also helping him.

    Monstrous Lilu! :) Update: She is 21.5 from withers and she is 48lbs, loves our new kitty Nora and is somewhat gentle with her. I am actually more afraid for the dog than I am the cat haha [image: attachment_p_109804_0_2010-04-21-12.49.18.jpg]

    Gee EL D wouldn't sit still for pictures when he's in the tub. And my previous beastie would splay his legs out so it was hard to get him in the tub!
