Update on Kell on e of the Graham 8

[deschroedter]

I try to go to different streets while walking. He loves to play with toys, and is not toy destructive, he doesn't ty to kill the squeakers and destuff them like my other boy did for years. We have an antique baby crib in the living room that overflows with toys when they are put up once a day, by the end of the day though 70% of them are back scattered all over the house along with all the kongs. I only wished we had a dog park closer than an hour and half away. He is so sociable I know he would do well in one. He is a joy though, has helped heal my heart over the early loss of my Gambit boy.

Be patient, he'll calm down and mature. Then one day you'll say "remember when he was so crazy with energy",

Why is it that I find this adorable? Please remind me that I said this when I eventually get my B boy.

Really good idea, Dan - keeping the mind challenged on fresh, new things. Thanks for that.

I have come to the conclusion that all Basenji people are just a bit crazy, we brag on thier "badness", we are "proud" of the destuctive things they do, "mine ate a chair" I can beat that mine at the couch - TWICE, mine ate thru a wall, or mine destroyed the inside of my Lexus! But we are addicted to them, can't live without one or more in the house and underfoot. do you think they have a pill that can cure our nutiness over our Bs? Wouldn't take it if they did.
