They are also very clever at winning people over. My sis, who owns and loves chow chows, just didn't 'get' my excitement when I made plans to get a basenji. At the beginning, she thought Kipawa was cute, but she was still reserved with her feelings. However, she is totally in love with Kipawa now, and he loves her too. And she is now loving the breed itself. If she sees a good basenji picture somewhere, she will post it on facebook. Those basenji faces can just melt our hearts, and that is why the little buggers can get away with so much. 🙂
It's official - I am a basenji owner!

Hello everyone!
Yep, today I feel that I am officially and truly a basenji owner!
Lillie (who I adopted 3 mos ago from a rescue shelter) has just destroyed my last dining room chair. First, it started with her chewing on the wood (both top and bottom). Then, she realized if she chewed on the seats she would find foam in there! Slowly but surely I threw out 1 chair at a time and today was the last chair! I can't get angry - she is just so cute! I now have a dining room consisting of a hutch and a table. Anyone else have the same?
I have noticed that she is fitting right into the description of a basenji based on messages I have read on this site. She loves foam, mattress covers, hard plastic, all my son's art creations, socks, slippers, wood, her dog leash and everything that is in her reach.
At times it can be frustrating but I have to admit out of all the dogs I have ever owned (5) she is without a doubt - the funniest!
Thanks for all the laughs I have had in reading your messages. I will definitely continue laughing along with you.

PS I have to go because Lillie is trying to eat my computer mouse!
