It's A Small World After All

Basenji Talk

  • This weekend I joined Facebook at the urging a friend who said it makes staying in touch much easier. Pretty quickly I started getting friend requests from people I haven't known since high school.

    How is this basenji related you ask? Well, one of my high school friends posted a pic of a chewed spatula that her dog got a hold of. I commented that it was pretty low on the dog destruction scale. She said, "Yeah, I guess I should have expected as much from a Basenji" So I go look at her photo album for a pic of her dog and it is a red and white basenji boy!

    Just thought it was kind of funny to reconnect with a high school friend and find out that we both have the same breed of dog.


  • That is too cool, it is a small world… after all!!!:D


  • That's funny Lisa! I got a puppy inquiry a couple years ago that ended up being someone I went to school with, and we were in scouts together too. lol Not sure if she ever ended up getting a Basenji for sure though. I only had boys and she wanted a girl.


  • Facebook is addicting, but I agree it is a small world!


  • Did you tell your friend about the basenji forum?


  • No but I will.


  • Funny….it IS a small world. I found a new friend, totally unrelated to Basenjis (something else we have in common) through a Basenji friend of facebook...that is one of the THE coolest things about Facebook, IMO. I also found out that my very first grade school crush ended up going to the same University as my nephew...on the opposite coast! Wierd!

    But, yeah..FB is the ultimate time-waster....as if I needed another way to waste time ;)


  • Oh for goodness sake, I tried to find you to friend you…but there are a million women with your name! Will you be my friend? ;) I am listed as Andrea Steedle Walters

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    No problems, lets me learn for future reference which is always a good thing :) Kaia is still petite. I haven't weighed her in about 2 weeks or so, she had been hovering just a smidge under 18 lbs, she may have finally gone over that now. That's why I was hoping to put off until July, wanted to make sure she had plenty of time to grow because we weren't too sure if she grows slowly or if she'll just stay petite. But I look back on her first pictures with us and wonder when she got so big!

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    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

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
