I thought, like the royalty they are, Ivan and Dasa would not soil their little white paws with common coinage. Food, chewies, and toys materialize because they wish it. Do Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip carry cash? Do they have to dash out to get provisions when the palace snack supply runs low? Of course not. They have servants to pay the pizza delivery guy or take the DiGiornos out of the oven. They have servants to take care of all the dreary common details and cheerfully provide...Safe Gardening with the Munchkins

We do not use pesticide or herbicide in our back yard. Pesticide is bad for the Munchkins, but herbicide is really bad because they walk through it, lick their paws, etc. We look for safe alternatives when confronted with back yard woes. In any event, we are not slaves to our lawn, and we certainlydon'tlose sleep over lawn care. I mow the lawn, but Idon'tpolish the grass the way our retired next door neighbor does. (I suspect we are a secret sorrow for him.)As long as theres grass for the...Running with Basenjis

Many people have asked me how I trained my basenjis to run with me. I always respond that it's not so much that they dogs are "trained," as it is that we've learned what to expect from one another while we run. On a walk, the dogs are absolutely incorrigible -- they constantly cross my path to sniff a mailbox or a tree, they pull this way and that, they go faster or slower (or stop like a ton of bricks) depending on where their little noses lead them. But on a run this just wouldn't work,...
Convention from Basenjis' Viewpoint

We humans spend months planning the BRAT convention attempting to present programs that are interesting and educational for the stationmasters and adopters. All attendees spend much of two days sitting in meeting rooms set up seminar style soaking up as much information as possible. At our sides or sharing our chairs our basenjis wait for the meeting to be over so they can have some "real fun". This year Rick has planned events to get the basenjis out and moving. Lure coursing and agility...

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...
