Funniest basenji related remark of the week. A person points at Moyo saying "this one is the oldest, he has the most wrinkles".

Peeing in private was SO pre-basenji.

I've had Basenjis chase flies around the house but never catch them except Paolo. He catches at least 1 a day. He hates them with a vengeance! If they land on him when he's laying there he jumps up growling and chase them down. They've pretty much signed their death warrant at that point.
Tamara Allen Tippy catches them too. More in play, then she looks very sad when she thinks she broke her toy and it stops buzzing.

I was dancing for my Mom this morning and she said, "That's enough!" This is why I never became a Rockette.
So tonight I decided to dance for my basenji, Caesar. It was to the theme from "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". He ran around in circles, jumped up and slapped his front paws on my legs and spun around and nipped me lightly on the butt. Everybody is a critic. I was laughing so hard that I was crying. He must have been talking to my Mother.Dennis Allen
Those two have great eyesight. Tippy has spotted jets and planes going over our backyard. Not flying low at all. Actually they discuss how to pop the fence open. . . .
Gloria and I go for a walk,,,,,,, never mind the sign!

Once a week, keeps my baby mobile and happy.
Lima is a trend setter. Now all the Basenjis are lining up, wanting to also look like porcupines.

Morning Mischief:
Tutu managed to snag a small cooked yam that was cooling on the kitchen counter. Ian grabbed it off the floor and was running through the house, evading me and his competitors in crime. I finally caught up to him to discover he was a sham, Rip actually had the yam and was trying to swallow it whole to keep it to himself! I managed to get about 2/3 of it from him, and shared it out among the dogs. And cooked another yam.

Cooper's Mischief du Jour was to leap onto Ray's lap and remove one of the soft ear tabs from his TV ears. We all know Basenjis can't be "punished" as they lack consciences but I think if Coop were forced to listen to 2 hours of FOX with Ray's TV ears.........it wouldn't happen again!

Spent ten minutes searching for Joe’s jacket which he had placed on a chair while putting crates in the car. Finally located it spread in front of the propane stove in our sons room. Pups obviously did not want us leaving again.

Mairead photo with hat. Her new outfit came with a cute mouse hat. The only reason I could get a pic of her in it is because she is distracted by the tag she found. Even as I type she is pulling the hat off.
Susan K-M Ha! The dogs, as you know, like the tags better
Lisa Voss She learns lots of stuff from the basenjis. How to find the best sunny spot, tags are lots of fun, if you need to transport a toy while crawling just put in your mouth, the list goes on.
Andrea Stone
Zepar has this thing. He can't just get under the covers. He has to RUN under them. So weird.

I walk into my bedroom to find my comforter and throw blanket rolled into a ball, hmmmm and my sheets and blanket ruffled? Well I go to fix the sheets and I discover the problem- 3 large marrow bones being hidden in my bed by Francesca! While outside playing in the yard she doesn't want Phalcon or Phaedra to have them, lol!!!
