Introduced ourselves in 2009


  • We got on here in 2009, and then I promptly forgot to get back on here! Sorry all! To restate, we adopted Franklin and Eleanor in Iowa in 2009, and we still have them. Franklin has just been diagnosed with low thyroid; Eleanor is doing well (esp. after I ran over her right rear foot last fall with a golf cart).

    I shall attempt to get a picture on so I hope this shows up.

    We live in Iowa, full-time rvers, spending 6 months up here and 6 months in Arizona working at a county park. This is our 2nd set of Bs.

  • Welcome to our community!


  • Welcome, boy do we have a lot of new people today. This is a great place and a lot of good information when you need it. Typical B's on the sofa. Tried to train mine as a pup not to go on the sofa and he just outlasted me and have to say I don't give up easy. So we get snuggles every night and I love it.

  • LOL they look so wild and stressed out, NOT! I love this breed, it's full tilt whatever they are doing– play or rest. :) Welcome back.

    Not sure of the size limit, there used to be information about this but I can't find it. I typically downsize to 800 x 600 pixels, 75% quality, and that works well. Size is usually under 100 kb.

    Agree with tanza, it's not good to overdo pain meds. An animal that doesn't feel the warning signal is far more likely to cause themselves harm. We want to protect them from discomfort, but at times that is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

    Remember, a tired Basenji is a good Basenji… and also it is much harder to introduce a puppy to olders in the house... I would guess while you think he is "after" them... he just wants to play... you have to that that position... if they don't want to play with him.... Puppies play hard... usually adults will correct wild childs play... but they still need an outlet for all their built up energy...
