In the words of Oscar Wilde - - It is better to be beautiful than to be good.

  • Our girl Sidhe gets in my make up chair in front of my makeup mirror, which turns on & off with touch. She taps it for the light to come on and then admires herself. Often she will then jump on the dresser to help herself to the kleenx I keep there. And if feeling in a sharing mood she will drop kleenx down to Kell & Rogue. Who aren't quite up to getting on the dresser.

    That should be the motto of every basenji;):D

    She's a beauty alright!

  • She's rightfully admiring her beautiful self. My Gbala is a mirror gazer but also looks behind to make sure it's not somebody else there!!!

    What's a good Basenji? - I don't know those!

  • suki likes to stand on the bed and look at herself in the mirror, too.

    that would be Digital. if you're ever in colorado, i'll introduce you :)

  • My old Isis would gaze at herself in the hall mirror as she walked past, and I caught her more than once lying on the corner of the bed where she could see herself in 2 mirrors…looking back and forth, trying to decide on her 'best side'. She was a funny girl.

  • Our little princess at just barely 3 weeks old was already giving a good, solid B-A-R-O-O ! And letting the world know that she was ready for anything.:)

    Ah well, I doubt he'll be making the trip to England anytime soon. At 14, he doesn't do much travelling. But even when I got him at 10 months, he's never done anything naughty. Well, there was that off course tunnel on an agility trial. I called his name, saw his ear twitch in my direction and ran straight into that tunnel with a big grin on his face. But he's never been distructive with non-dog items. Perhaps I'll hop over the pond one day and bring pics. :)

  • The tunnel used to be a favourite of my Basenjis. One even stopped in the middle and curled round and stayed!!

    I'd love to see pictures. The old ones are rather special aren't they? My oldie, Jewel, never chews non-dog items either and I often call her 'Angel' but actually she's far from that - unless she's sleeping, like now!

    I will certainly have to take a look at Target because those outfits are great! Luckily, living in Florida, our B won't have to deal with cold weather too often :p

    Yes, I know Barkless dog…They do the most worst thing [chew paper, garbage digging and just destroying my home like a tornado was there for 2 hours] I agree it's part of the allure to them, they don't just accept every person they meet, but must get to know you. It's like you have to earn their respect, and part of there charm is they are not perfect little animals. They can bring great amounts of anger, misstrust, fear, embarassment, humor & above all love from human owners. Why do my dogs allways insist on pooping at the worst times, like when a crazy dog is in some ones house- going crazy at the window or in front of a group of people. One time they went potty in front of a crazy dog in a house that was on the second floor, the dog blew the whole screen out of the frame! Next thing you hear lady screaming at the dog!
