    Great pictures. It ALMOST wants me to be in that snow… almost. The dogs are certainly enjoying it, and I am sure you are too. Thanks for sharing these photos.

    @Kipawa: Jess, I don't think Maya has a problem with weight, either light or too heavy. She looks very good. As long as you know she is eating wel, is healthy and is exercising, don't be too concerned. I realize their IS a standard for the basenji, but they are living beings that can't always match up to a picture in a book. She is a very, very good eater. She LOVES her food and its often more of a problem to keep her weight down as she will steal anything she can get hold of :rolleyes: Since having a basenji I have learned that they are worse thievess even than labradors!! :eek: I was defrosting a chicken last week and noticed it had disappeared from the kitchen worktop.. where do i find it? Outside with Maya and she'd eaten about half of it :rolleyes: She is a pig!! I walk her for about 2 hours a day now, most of which is offlead running (we walk to the horses fields and back each evening so she spends a good hour running around the fields and woods and farmland!) so she has quite a lot of exercise compared to some im sure, but if she didnt have that she would be a little porker cos she eats a lot :p But at the same time, cos she has so much time running around burning calories I do need to make sure her food intake is high enough. She is definately the highest energy dog i've ever had :eek:

    @curlytails: Wow, your pug allows Maya to get awfully close to her slab of ribs! The more special the treats, the greater the radius of the 'danger zone' around here! Ummm, well Delilah was growling at Maya in those pictures with the bone :rolleyes: Maya tries to push it as far as she can but knows better than to steal things from Lilah - pug bites hurt :D I dont think i have a video of Ruby telling Maya off, i will have to try and catch that on video one day, i always miss the best bits :D

    Thanks for the replies!! She is such a princess, bless her. She only got up for her breakfast and a pee this morning. Once that was done she went back upstairs and got into bed again, she's still there now! She definately rules the house :D I dont know what it was about the last pic that caught my eye, but its cute isnt it?? It was actually an accident, i didnt mean to zoom in but obviously hit the zoom without realising! Oops!
