Loki's picky eating comes and goes, even after Kaia got here. He has had no problem letting her finish his dinner when he didn't feel like eating. I've added yogurt and/or pumpkin to his kibble and that has helped him finish his dinner. They are oddballs in that they will sit and wait for the other to finish, then switch bowls to make sure every last bit has been cleaned up. They also frequently trade bully sticks with one another, but higher value stuff like meaty bones are a no-no to come near. Last month I started them both on Nupro and he actually gets excited at meal times! That has never, ever been the case prior to adding that in. I haven't had to utter the dreaded "finish your dinner" in weeks 😉
Basenji on the Today Show!
-
I was just watching the Today show and there was a segment on a guy named Bill who rescues dogs and trains them to be in broadway shows, tv, etc etc. He was being interviewed on his couch at home and there was a basenji sitting on the lap of the interviewer!
-
Cool! I'm sorry I missed it!
-
Yeah! I was half watching while getting ready for work and I saw a little red face w/ white stripe and became glued to watching the little guy/girl. The basenji was really well behaved and just sitting there. Toward the end of the interview the basenji turned around and was laying flat on the couch with it's back toward the interviewer - as if to say "ok, you can go now!" so funny!
-
So typical for a B! Very funny!

That is an awesome story!!! I am proud of anyone who can take a Basenji with a shady past and make it a movie star. It's hard enough to take one with a good background and just train it to become a pet, LOL.:D

That is a great story! The basenji is certainly a beautiful one!
Thanks for sharing
