Nice, they are about in a few different adverts, I spot them every now and again.
Jealous hubby

I am glad to hear that people other than me have had the "issues" with their partner that I am having with mine. My husband sounds like he is alot like Jazzy's mom. He gets worked up over the poop in the yard the most. Weezie went through a stage where she would target his things mostly. She would go potty on his clothes if he left them on the floor, she chewed his hats, she tried to destroy his steel toed boots. The boots won that battle although they did come out with a few war wounds
And he has also given in to the fact that he is married to me and the pets are here to stay! It is so funny though when I am in a different room I have heard him barooing at her, talking to her. When I come around the corner he will stop and his face gets all red. Then I grin and tell him I will give him his alone time with the dog. Eventually he will get the b-bug just like I did! -

It sounds like he already does…he is just in denial!;)

And he's very amused by their ritual – Jazzy's is most intense -- rubbing of their faces and shoulders all over his leather work shoes at the end of every day, followed by the rolling all over his feet.He also baroos at them. Doesn't get embarrassed by it though; he's pretty open about it, unless we have guests.:p

I think that just might be the case. It took weezie a long time for him to warm up to her. Now when she walks up to him while he is sitting in his chair she will stand there looking at him making him move over so she can fit beside him. At first he would tell her to go sit by me, then she would sulk off into a corner and make him feel bad. Now he will move over so she can fit beside him in his chair. He often jokes that I have taught her well!

Jazzy used to always sit on my lap at night, and Keoki usually got Darren's.
Lately however, Jazz is spending more time on Darren's lap. The reason? He's a marshmallow – if I don't feel like having the dog on me --I'm using the lap top, or whatever-- I ignore her when she comes and gives me her "I'm pathetic, please pick me up" stare and places her head on my leg. I tell her "No, not now" and that is the end of it.
He cannot. She has learned with him to just slowly start to crawl up on his lap and he will cave EVERY time.She would never, ever think to crawl up on me after I've told her "no"!
She used to try the "stare/head rest" thing with him, and if he said 'No", then she'd crawl up v-e-r-y- slowly.
Now she doesn't bother, she just crawls up.We know the pack leader is here, and we know who it ain't also!

My hubby loves, loves my Basenji, Sahara. If I mention that she needs something like a new coat, food, toy, he says, "Well get it for her, here's my credit card. My husband is very frugal, he does not waste money, at times he squeaks when he walks. I found my furbaby in a pet store, and when I called about buying her he said, "That is too much money for a dog". Well, my son was with me and he paid for a third of the dog, and when we called him back (about 4 times total calls) he said, "I don't care, do what you want". Well, I DID!!!! I brought her home and he has loved her ever since, he was jealous in the beginning b/c she slept beside me, and followed me around, laid in my lap. I told him if you want Sahara to love you then you have to feed her sometimes and play with her. Well, now she loves him too, and he loves, loves this dog like I have never seen before. He calls her his little girl, and she greets him when he comes home from work. I want another B, but I don't know if he will let me. He says Sahara is enough for us, I say she needs a playmate. We'll see !!!!!!!

Give him time…. Darren always said that Jazzy was more than enough Basenji for us, and then he bought Keoki.

I put in my application with brat with out my husband knowing about it. I figured that I would have some time to break him in on the whole idea. I started with some of the emails I recieved from brat, I started talking about them and he would always give me that look like forget it. Then the person that was in charge of the adoptions in my area emailed me about my little arrival on monday. It did take some fast talking to get him to agree, but after I showed him some pictures of the little gem he couldn't say no to the look on my face. I am not sure how it is going to go on monday, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck on your quest for a new basenji, and remember a squeaky wheel always gets oiled!!!

When we got married I was the dog enthusiast. We had always had dogs when I was growing up. DH grew up with a pet box turtle! So for most of our married life, the dogs were mine. However, DH has wanted a basenji for years and he is totally smitten with Cory. In fact, he is the one that told me that he thought that Cory was lonely and we should consider getting a second basenji to keep her company. THIS from a man who made me promise several years ago that we'd never own two dogs at once again.
