Introducing Miss Nayru

Show Off Your Dog

  • She keeps me entertained. Between Batman and Nayru and FlynnKitty, I almost always have a smile on my face…

    Right after that "NO" or "DROP IT" or "DON'T CLAW THAT". :D


  • ha! love it!


  • Just a silly video of Nayru and Batman. Make sure your sound is down. I think I’m a bit loud in this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1Zx0cPSt5U


  • LOL, my sound is way down always and I could hear you and your southern accent just fine :)

    I love the wagging donuts!


  • Yep, I had the camera right at my face and was doing my DOGGIE voice. I sound like a dork. LOL


  • Not "a boring video" at all - they are the cutest pair!


  • Just an update to let you know that Nayru and Batman are still as silly as ever. We've added a kitten to the mix. Boy howdy, was that ever challenging. Miss Nayru, who never showed ANY prey drive towards my rock-solid dog-proof 14 yr old Maine Coon, was HIGHLY interested in the fast moving, tiny orange thing. We had about 6 weeks of separation then 2 weeks of highly supervised visitation and then a month of 'okay you two play nice now'. But Vinegar now knows not to run and Nayru now knows that the small fuzzy orange thing has incredibly sharp pointy things on her feet. I have caught them sleeping together. Currently I'm fostering a B.R.A.T boy named Toby. He's reminding me why I like adopting older dogs. :D


  • Great to get an update, live the name vinegar… I like names that catch you off guard! Hope your busy uploading pictures to go with your update!


  • I can't believe it's been over two years since Nayru came into my life. She's had a few merry adventures involving the front door and FREEDOM. I was walking the foster dog (last spring) and all of a sudden there was Nayru running up to us. :| I sat down and she came right up to me so I was able to snag her. Another time I didn't quite get the door closed, but she came hauling back in when I said, "Batman, treat?" Her native Basenji jealousy was immediately engaged. Still feel like I narrowly dodged bullets both times. I live in a gated community but a savvy B could waltz out easily when cars are coming in or out.

    But life with Nayru continues to engage me and keep my mind active. I've noticed a change in her personality too. She's just more settled somehow. As if she knows that this really is her forever home. Took about 18 months for that to really sink in for her, I think.

    Now she's a fairly normal B girl who steals tortillas off the counter and then looks completely innocent when caught with half a flour disk hanging out of her mouth. LOL


  • You need to get a picture of the tortilla in her mouth!

    Well I can confirm that the lab and basenji duo are a playful combination. Caesar is always trying to play with the labs in particular. It seems like a likely union. You can look on the Basenji Rescue and Transport site. They have a section for mixed basenji breeds and it might give you a clue what yours is mixed with. A super cutie!!
