Meeka's first dog park trip!

Basenji Talk
  • So our local dog park re-opened yesterday since the weather is getting nicer.. there is a huge pond in the middle so it had to close during winter when it was frozen.. so today was meeka's first time going, and she went to chase a duck and dog, who went into the pond.. meeka (typical "i wont go pee in the rain" basenji) and she chased the dog/duck right into the pond!! i couldnt believe me eyes!! she went about 15 feet in to! i dont think she really realized it was a pond and was just chasing the other dog.. but i had to share.. i was just so amazed with what i was seeing!! wish i would have gotten a picture but it all happened too fast!

  • Basenjis will go into water to play, just not to pee or bathe. Glad she had such a good time at the park.

    I love it when they talk and yodel. Whenever they do I always give them huge praises and lots of pets, though this positive reinforcement does not seem to yield any more yodels. I am very excited when I do get them.

    Please post pics. Love to see Bs enjoying the snow! We had some snow last year. Having spent almost all of his life in sunny Southern California, Spencer was not impressed. Not one little bit!

    @basenjibratz: It's wonderful seeing a basenji run. They are usually the smallest in the big dog parks but they sure can keep up. When I use to take Talker to a make shift dog park (four enclosed baseball fields) he would run with a border collie. The border collie would always be chasing Talker and the humans were always amazed at his speed and how he was never panting while the border collie would be panting up a storm. It was wonderful to see him stretched out in a full run. Trixie's Daddy should be proud at his girl and so should you. :) Yes I have had several people comment that after a full run Trixie is looking at the other dogs like "why are you panting?" They have often asked me if she ever seems to get tired, my reply is always yes but it takes a while! They are beautiful to watch run! Everytime I watch her it amazes me!

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat
