I'm almost done shopping, and even done wrapping. At an attempt to not leave everything to the last minute this year, I have been wrapping gifts as I get them. I even put them in a neat stack in my spare room, leaving the bows off so the cats don't eat them.

I was watching tv the other day, and noticed the house was just too quiet… you know, that "eerie" type of quiet. the type of quiet you only notice when your B is getting into mega trouble. So, I ventured around to see what I could find.... and then I saw it. Tucker, on the couch, surrounded in wrapping paper, presents, and a downright adorable smirk on his face! he found my neat stack of presents in the spare room, brought some to the couch, and proceeded to unwrap them. thankfully he didn't actually open or eat any gifts, he was just interested in the wrapping....

note to self: put wrapped gifts on a high shelf, inside a closed closet.

It was really funny. we all had a great laugh. I WISH I had a camera on hand. ahhh well... they can be re-wrapped.

Genetics is such an interesting subject!

And the most understandable book on the subject is Mary Lou Kenworthy's ! Recommended to everyone if it is still available.

That good news, Dennis - and you are likely to find, in the long run, that the older boy will teach the pups far more than you ever can. They'll get their street cred from him !

Sometimes extreme hunger can be from hormones (thyroid even) or cancer.. At 15, not sure if knowing makes much difference. However, there are some meds to make him feel better and up to walking, which certainly would improve his quality of life.

I always wanted a dog, but my stepfather was allergic. My husband grew up with basenjis in the 50's in New Bedford MA. They never showed, just had them as pets. They did everything wrong– let them run loose, bred them without planning, but he had great stories about them, particularly one girl named Congo.
His family had a rescue B named Rusty, who was a great character (also loose, but luckily a homebody) when I met him in the 70's. I liked Rusty's aloof confidence, and got my first B in 85-- Kenji. He was backyard bred-charming but turned very dominant and difficult at adolescence, but we worked with and had him until he was 13.
We got our second dog from Matahari B's, and Caddie was a tricolor sweetheart for 15 years.
Now I've got the gentlest, most outgoing B I've ever met. Sol was raised by someone else, and they did a great job-- thanks Eldorado!
I adopted him at 5, and after a few weeks of thinking about it, he decided to stay (he jumped the fence twice, but came when I called the second time). He's my best friend, and even goes to work with me in the winter. And sometimes I wonder if he's really a basenji, because he wags his tail so much-- but only for me.

@etzbseder:

I just had it re-assured that basenjis are partly just a 2-3 year old child. My roommates kid is visiting, and his mom is having the same arguments with their 3 year old son as I have with Medjai.

"You just played, now you MUST go to the bathroom. I know you don't want to, but trust me, you have to."

"Take a nap, you played all morning, and you always want to play later."

They both will just look to see when the parent isn't looking and do what they're not supposed to.

I always tell people that having a Basenji is like having a perpetual 2 yr old….so actually, you give Medjai more credit than I give mine, LOL.
