Tayda Lenny Duke and Daisy at the dog park!

Basenji Talk
  • Tayda and Lenny met Duke and Daisy at the dog park for some fun! They got along just fine and played with each other and the other dogs! A little snarking here and there but overall very good!

  • That last photo is a classic :)

  • @Tayda_Lenny:

    Tayda and Lenny met Duke and Daisy at the dog park for some fun! They got along just fine and played with each other and the other dogs! A little snarking here and there but overall very good!

    We had a wonderful time - about 2 hours! Time went quickly - the day was beautiful and to my relief, all got along. As Michelle said - a little snarking about nothing, but I was very proud of Duke's behavior - thinking he might have been worse. Duke and Lenny (both males) gave way to the snarkasm. :eek:

    The other dogs that came along into the park were labs - all of them friendly. No problems what-so-ever for my first time at a dog park. It was a wonderful experiene.

    Thanks Michelle - I was happy to meet you and Tayda & Lenny. I just love their cinnamon roll tails. Both equally beautiful and regal. :)

    The last pic is a classic, be it a bit personal :D

    Here is a pic of Duke and Daisy, I just took after ourr busy day:

  • Yes, it was a great time! Thanks for driving out and it was lovely to meet you and Dylan (Dillan? Dillyn?) and Daisy and Duke!

  • @Tayda_Lenny:

    Dylan is the spelling. Thanks!! On the way home, Dylan said he's going to "miss Tayda and Lenny." :( Because you're moving to NY, we are thankful for this one visit together. But am hopeful that we will be in touch thru the Basenji forums. Again - best wishes for a quick, comfortable relocation. :)

  • It's sounds like a great outing!! And how nice for Jill to have a nice peaceful time at the dog park. That is great you all were able to meet up at least once.

  • Those babies look exhausted! Now you are going to be hooked on the dog park, I love taking my two they come home exhausted as well.

    Looks like you guys had a wonderful day!

  • The other dogs in the pictures look terrified of the basenjis or so overwhelmed they just gave up into submission.

    Our dog do whell with most hounds labs as well.

    All the bishon's we have met went pycho on our dogs??

  • ha ha, the park, these are the types of pics that other people without basenjis just dont understand- makes us look crazy.

    a basenji owner sees- oh my, they communicate so differently together than with other dogs, look at how they play

    the non dog owner sees- bunch of dogs that look alike….

    the basenji owner sees- they are growl talking and not killing each other ! LOL

    the other pet owners see - that dog is hard core scary and there are so many of them

    these are the types of events that make me understand my kids and value their communication skills.

    or maybe it is just me and i am a crazy basenji mom?

  • @Mantis:

    LOL - Yeah and sometimes it scares the owner too … It was the 1st time at a dog park with my kids. TL was more at ease, which was a benefit for me. They do gowl talk - the snarking sounds something like short spurts of tasmanian devil. Startling even for a B-owner with other dogs in the mix.

  • Great pictures of a great day!

    Our go at it when they chase squirrels in the yard. the neighbors have to think our dogs are vicious. No one comes up to pet our dogs that live close. they fear them, except our next door neighbor who really knows them.

  • Those pictures are great!! I can't believe how BIG Daisy has gotten!! Wow time flies!!!! The last pic cracked me up!!! :D

    Thanks RWF and yes, she is the one with the "block head". But, she is a lady and means no harm. Total Basenji - no barking, no shedding, no smells so far. She is Dukes competition . . . Except for being a "bed hog", she has won our hearts a thousand times over.

    I too liked that last photo - classic! :D

  • They're all beautiful dogs! It just seems like yesterday you posting Daisy's homecoming pictures - She has turned into a magnificent young lady!

    Thank you! It was a pleasure meeting Mommy Michelle. Tayda and Lenny were amazingly well behaved with our meeting the week before last. I love that it's so easy to become familiar with these dogs . . . addicting, eh?

    Well, I went to the dog park again. It was actually kinda boring. Only one other guy there with 2 little, shaved white dogs. He was not talkative at all and after the initial sniff, the dogs pretty much ignored on another. It was kinda hot (90 degrees) + humid + around dinner time so I wasn't really surprised. I was gonna leave when I, with the sun in my eyes, saw someone showing up with a dog with a curly tail and pointy ears. I thought, "OMG, is that a basenji, can't leave now." Turns out it was a Shiba-Inu. Cute dog. I thought, "Hey, maybe we'll get something here, playwise." No such luck, again, ignoring after the initial sniff. Oh well, it still made a tired basenji, which is good. I will go back again. Oh, and DolceMomma, this park also separates small and large. But the "large" dog area is so-o much nicer than the small dog area. First time, we started in the "small" dog area, alone, five minutes, went into the "large" dog area, 'cause that's where everyone else was. I just think this is a good way for my boy to get socialized. But I am/will be vigilant.

    Yes Aglie, I remember meeting you and Dig, Jet and family! Dig thought the basenjis were all ruffians, but Jet joined them in a huge wet puddle. Funny about tris liking other tris, we have noticed that occasionally at the park, the reds will all be lying together and the tris will all be together as well. Silly dogs!

    Whew! Glad you got them back…definitely night & cold were on your side. This summer I had the b-kids in the pen outside and went up to the garage to get a rake...it was in the morning. I'm in the garage, and all of a sudden I hear the pitter-patter of little feet. I turn around and both kids are in the garage. Needless to say I was :eek: :eek: :eek: shocked. Anyway I made a big deal like I was so happy to see them and Ruby came right over to me to be patted and I picked her up. Brando wouldn't come close enough for me to get him. I started walking back to the house and I'm talking to Brando as I'm walking saying "hey Bran...let's get some cheese" and he's following me at a safe distance for him to not get caught. He follows me all the way to the porch, but then decides he wants to sniff around the side of the house. I open the door to put Ruby inside the house and as I'm going in I yell to him, "Brando, cheese". Well I go inside to the cheese drawer (I'm still holding Ruby), and the door swings closed, but then I hear the door open again and Brando runs into the house. :D Door closes behind him, both kids are in. Brando comes over and sits by me for his cheese. :D :D Good boy! Oh, and the reason they got free...I was in such a hurry I never noticed I forgot to close the gate...idiot mom :rolleyes: . That hasn't happened again!

    My girl Lacie, does the exact same thing when we goto the dog park. My boy Ozzie will go explore a little bit and watch the other dogs play but not really get involved and he will always come back to me after a minute or two. We have only gone a couple of times but one time he finally got the urge to put him self out there and do his little sumo move and crouch down to play with this one dog, but sadly that dog wasn't interested.
