It's very possible something has started growing that she has a slight allergy to. My Gemma sneezes when we first go into the fields in the morning lately because everything is coming up and it's dewy as well. She also did this during pollen season, but seldom any other time. Of course our A/C is always on because the days are so hot now, and that may be the answer for you. If she had something up her nose, I think she would be "blowing" trying to get it out, but a vet visit would answer that for you.

You bet they do, Rita Jean!! Many happy and healthy returns to all!

Happy Birthday Jaycee!!

I am so sorry to hear that. At least, as you said, they can keep each other company up there in heaven until you make your journey (hopefully that will be a LONG time) 🙂 At least you have the other dogs to keep you company while Sterling keeps gramma company 🙂

Pat thanks good to know he is nice.

I posted them from your album as I was curious to see and help you if I could do it. OK here's the steps.
1.Start your new thread in Basenji Forums. Type in what you want to start it off with.
**2.**Now open another browser tab so you can open your photo album separate.
**3.**Open a picture from your album.
**4.**With your mouse pointer on the picture, right click on the picture. A box will open with a line that says "properties".
5.Click on that and another box will open up. On the line that says "Location", just take your mouse pointer and put it right at the the start of the http…...... and hold the left side button of your mouse down and drag it all the way across to the right until it stops. The long line of numbers should be darkened. The last letters on that line should be"jpg" Let go of the button.
**6.**Put the mouse pointer on that area anywhere and right click your mouse and choose "Copy".
**7.**Now you have to go back to Basenji Forums.
**8.**You see those icons on top for formatting, click on that yellow square box that looks like a picture of a mountain with a moon, click on that. A box will open that says Please enter the URL of your image: Put your mouse on that line and right click and paste that long line you copied in there and then click "OK".
**9.**It will now put that line of information onto your thread. You will see that same address now but no picture. That's OK because when you're done you'll see them.
**10.**At the beginning and end of that line should be . Put your mouse right after that one on the end and click so your curser is blinking and then hit "enter" on your keyboard so it goes down a line. Now you can type in what you want to describe that picture that will show up. Now click "enter" again to go down a line
11.Now go back to your album and do those same steps again for the rest of pictures. I will now try it.

Isn't Jaycee cute!

I'm ready for a show!

I have experimented with several different types. My favourite by far is a lambs leather half choke all in one. I feel I have enough control and they can't easily escape from them either!

@Lauma:

Do you have any information on Itzyu Basenjis in VA? My mother and brother are adopting a "Golden Opportunity" dog from them next month.

Can't go wrong with a Basenji from Itzyu Basenjis…. my opinion is go for it..... and they will get a great "golden opportunity" dog from them!

Pat thank you I will look into the grooming table.

Basenjimamma I hope they have fun. Eli's good with dogs and so kind and happy be good.

Rita, maybe you can change the thread title (or email Alex and ask him to change it) to:
WARNING, BYB Puppies for sale - NOT Health Tested.

I haven't used the collars, but use the DAP spray if we are going for a longer distance in the car, it works great. One of my BRAT mentors used some of my DAP spray in the crate of one of the dogs he was sending to California, the dog, kibbi went straight in, laid down and had no problems what so ever on the flight..good stuff.

you could have one of those reality shows like the Ozzy Osbourne Family only it would be all the craziness the dogs were creating

That would be so funny and doopey..

He's an extremely picky eater. I cannot motivate him with treats at all. Anyone else with a Basenji like this?

Otis will eat anything..except the fish my hubby caught during our trip last week..we took it into his mouth, chewed on it for a few seconds, spit it out and thn tried it again, with the same results..he just could not get himslef to eat it. The dachshund on the other hand devoured it, only to realize too late what he had done, then he had this horrified look on his face..as if he had eaten poison or something..hilarious in my eyes, not so much in Gus' eyes..Otis and Luna thought he was insane for eating the fish..it was even cleaned and filead (sorry about spelling, having a blond, foreign moment and can't think of it..), but nope not edible in their mind..

One time, I left Loki & Freya in the car while having a quick meeting before a road trip. Unfortunately, I had forgotten a 3/4-full 20-ounce latte in the cup holder. Loki generously helped himself to the whole thing! There was not a single drop left!!! And I really needed that caffeine jolt! Unsurprisingly, a 3 hour road trip with a B "bouncing off the walls" and diarrhea turned into a 4 hour ordeal.

Happy Birthday Jaycee. Hope you had special birthday treats today!!

@agilebasenji:

"I don't think that pickles would be a problem…. I find that most dogs/Basenjis like root veggies.. and pickles come from a root veggie "

Uhm, Pat, I'm pretty sure pickles are made from cucumbers and cuc's are from the flower of the plant (making it a fruit to biologists, but it's a veggie to nutritionists). Of course I don't care for pickles (and cuc's don't like me too much), so I could be wrong.

Opps…. you are totally correct... LOL....

We shall see just how much hekp this little guy really gets from this forum. I called and found out that he was a puppy back 04 when he was adopted from Wayside Waifs and now family has a baby why no longer want him. She said the boy sometimes gets like to be a little stronger over other dogs. I do not care what people think of me or were Jaycee came from it's not me needing help its the the little guy. Actions have always been stronger than words.
Gald to see Otis is well and happy.

@crystalncody:

LOL, I had to try it as well, and Cody had a simlar response, only his expression was more like, "Can't you see I'm trying to take a nap? Jeeze!" Then he got up, circled, and faced the other direction with a huff!

They love to sigh. We are such inconveniences to them.

Otis just had his recheck from this weekends adventure and he weighs 21.4lbs and he is 5 months and 10 days, yes they are growing aren't they..
He is doing great by the way. You can't even tell he had a run in with a silver colored Ford Taurus…

When we have to deal with fleas, which is extremely seldom, I always use Adam's flea shampoo on the animals and their carpet spray on the carpets. I guess it's every 4 - 5 yrs we'll see a few fleas. The shampoo doesn't smell like insecticide, it leaves their coats soft, and is really effective. I know it's available coast to coast b/c my sister who used to work in an Army vet clinic in North Carolina is who got me using it here in Washington. It's the only product their clinic used – and I've noticed it the background in some of the clinics on the Animal Planet Animal Precinct shows, LOL

Rita Jean, Thanks you so much for all your help with the pictures and with resting my thoughts on were Otis came from. I thought from the beginning that Mark had his head on straight, but you never know, hearing you describe their environment make me feel as if I had the right thougt. I will try to get the picture thing worked out so you can see our beautiful Otis.
