Ivan visited the vet for titers and routine blood work the first of April. On April third we received the results. The titers showed sufficient immunity levels so he doesnt need boosters for parvo & distemper. However, his blood work showed some elevated kidney levels. Ivans kind pediatrician explained this was cause for concern but not panic. While I tried to breathe and not panic, she said he needs a low protein diet and encouraged us to get him to drink more water. She told us protein...ADD and OCD Basenjis

Does anybody else have an ADD basenji? I have an ADD one and an OCD one. Seamus likes everything " just so" -all his food on my bed, all his toys in his basket, his usual pee spots, etc. Nina, on the other hand, takes 100 years to eat, if she is interrupted at all. When I take her out, it's a never-ending journey to find "THE spot" to pee...BUT if the wind blows, or a car passes, or a door opens a block away, or a bird flies over head, or a dog barks in the distance....You get the idea. She...

I am NOT Smarter than a Basenji!

Yes, the Battle of the Water Bowls continues. It's a match of wits between myself, a fairly intelligent human, and two crafty little basenjis, and I'm embarrassed to say that I think the basenjis are winning. As of my last post, http://basenjirescue.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-missing-water-bowl-continued.html, the dogs were taking their water bowl out the dog door and hiding it in the backyard every day while I'm at work, leaving a nice big puddle of water with delicate little pawprints through...

Cinco de Mayo was never that important of a holiday for me until two years ago when I responded to a call from Ray Eckart of BRAT to take in two basenjis in a desperate situation. We agreed that it would be just for a few days until we could find them a foster home. I had lost my beloved basenji Bow barely a month early after a grueling year's battle with brain tumors. I had planned to give myself six months to a year before ever considering adopting another basenji, and I wanted to really...

It has been said that art imitates life, but sometimes the opposite is true. Here is Ruby's take on the subject. 1) Edgar Degas: The Star (1876-1877) Ruby: 2) Theo van Rysselberghe: Woman in a Mirror Ruby: 3) Pablo Picasso: Femande with a Black Mantilla (1905) Ruby: 4) Lady with a Boa (unknown - possibly Alice Neave) Ruby: 5) Andrew Wyeth: Christina's World Ruby: 6) Poster of Rod Steiger in movie 'Illustrated Man' Ruby: 7) Johannes Vermeer: Girl with a Pearl Earring Ruby (Okay, this is a...
When Did You Discover Basenjis?

Do you remember the first time you saw a basenji? Did you stumble across one by accident, fall in love with a friends basenji or see one at a dog show? I remember when I first learned of basenjis. I was in elementary school entertaining myself with some extra reading projects during quiet time. (I suppose my poor teacher was desperate for quiet, as I received the whispers too much in class comment on nearly every report card of my elementary school career.) I remember this particular story...
