First Fire of the Season
It's finally cold enough inside to light a fireplace fire. I wasn't sure how Mara would react but she made herself comfy immediately.

We finished cooking the Beef Bourguignon 40 minutes ago, and she’s been sitting here the whole time.

Atlas got neutered.
My baby got neutered yesterday and we are taking good care of him. Love is the best medicine.

Have you seen the ads for Earth Rated pet products? I think the only other ad I've ever seen with a B was for a pool company that featured black & white one.

13 years old but still a princess at heart.
Opened her eyes because I was too loud taking the picture. (Not really sure how she heard me over the snoring!)

Basenjis' common characteristics?
What characteristics do basenjis have in common? My basenji like climbing up higher as possible as he can. Is it common characteristics?

Is this normal?
I’m concerned that Rengo is smoking again, I can deal with the gambling but the smoking is a step too far

Getting a new Basenji puppy!!
I'm getting a new Basenji puppy in a month!! This will be my fourth B, although my first female (all of my others were boys) and my first puppy in like 20 years. Willow will be 6 months old by the time I get her (importing dogs into Hawaii is the worst), so I've watched early puppy hood though pictures and videos, but I'll still have more to go. I haven't bought stuff for a puppy in a long time. I'm already stocking up on bully sticks and stuffed animals, but is there anything new in the last 20 years that you couldn't live without when your B's were puppies?

Four awesome basenjis gathered on a cool, sunny autumn morning in Washington Square Park in New York City. Most of the action was a long tussle between Bella Luna (female, yearling,) and Mia (female, seven-years-old.) Kepler (male, ten-years-old,) abided while they tussled.

New Rule: No ID my Breed Posts
I’m sure we all have noticed the regular posting from people who believe they have a basenji when it very obviously is NOT. These posts are off topic and are only generating negative reactions.
There is an entire subreddit dedicated to helping people identify the breeds they see in their mixed dog: r/IDmydog
Therefore mods have elected to add a new rule prohibiting these types of posts. We welcome your feedback on this change, and hope this helps reduce the number of negative comments that keep occurring.
No ID my breed posts: If you are curious what your mixed breed dog is, please post in r/IDmydog for more information.

Show
We have our biggest show coming up. I'm so excited because we have a really good chance of leaving with points and majors. However I'm nervous because he is still a pup and anything can go wrong. He will do great regardless. Just excited and nervous at the same time.
