Tamara Allen Stella tucked in and Tippy sprawled out bathing in the sun. It's the only bath these two like.
SOME BASENJI STANDARD QUOTES. Hindquarters: Medium width, strong and muscular, hocks well let down and turned neither in nor out, with long second thighs and moderately bent stifles 
Gait: Swift, tireless trot. Stride is long, smooth, effortless and the topline remains level. Coming and going, the straight column of bones from shoulder joint to foot and from hip joint to pad remains unbroken, converging toward the centerline under the body. The faster the trot, the greater the convergence.
Ben Brodeur Can anyone ever believe that angelic Royal would ever dream of absconding with the top half of Moe's brioche chicken salad roll. Well last night as we were having supper, she turned her head for a millisecond & off came the top half & he took off & ran outside so I couldn't get him... Guess what, he never brought it back and let's just say that Royal is definitely on Moe's S--T list...

Living with a very old dog means feeling your heart speeding up every time you see them a little more still than usual and approaching with the fear that they have stopped breathing. Living with a very old dog means being aware that some of the things you'll do together may be the last. Living with a very old dog means thinking ′′ this is their last summer ", ′′ this is their last July ", ′′ This could be the last morning". Living with a very old dog means they bark at any noise at any time, not because they know what they are barking at, its they feel they need to bark and let us know. Living with a very old dog means, you have to lift them up into the truck, the bed, the couch, the stairs. Living with a very old dog means putting off commitments because it's important to be close to them. Living with an old dog means we trip over them because they are so sound asleep they don't hear us approaching them. Living with an old dog means accidents in the house, its ok they don't mean to do it. Living with a very old dog means feeling guilty because you know you could have done more, giving them more runs, more travel, more hugs, more caresses, more everything. I would like to say that living with a very old dog also puts us in the face of our own death, fragility, vulnerability. Living with a very old dog means we
got to experience life with a very old dog, which is one of the best joys on earth!

Jackie Dering Harley conned Luke out of his seat. He was sitting in the chair with me and she wanted his place. She went to the kitchen and rattled his food bowl. He went to see. She took his seat. Karla Schreiber A trick my long ago girl Callie played on Max and he fell for it every time! Sally Wuornos Yup, basenjis are smart at getting what they want. Vickie Perrine Rosa, who NEVER went to the toy pot, used to go over there and act like she just found then BEST toy! Dog gets up; Rosa gets seat!! She did it enough for us to say it was PLANNED.

Cherry and her sister, Sanderbelly.
. As I slowed down to a crawl at one point. I pressed the button to show the map to see how long the red line was. Not realizing had activated Siri. I said out loud, as I looked in the rear view mirror, "you going ride my ass all the way down the Merritt," to which Siri replied “I won’t answer that”. It gave me a really good laugh.
PI has awaken from his winter dreams and taken to herding, like a pro.
He thinks it is pretty funny for him to send everyone back out after Oognah puts them away; yes sheep included.
My husband doubted his ability, or should I say PI's comedian side. until he almost got ran over by stock last week,
with a happy little cat sending down the hallway of the barn .
The look on Oognah and Kevin's face was priceless. I can chuckle, even if it takes twice as long to wrap things up at night .
