Eeyore joins our Family

When I was a year and a half old, my younger basenji brother Eeyore arrived to live with us.  It is fun to have a buddy around here but the first week was bad cause Eeyore tried to beat me up.  But...I told him I wuz here first so he gotto listen to me & be nice to me too.   Then the next day, Ma and Pa took Eeyore to get him neutered.  I told Eeyore he got neutered cause he was mean to me.  Heh, heh, tee hee...I think he will be nice to me for a long long time.

The Basenji "500"

Eeyore and me are buddies, we have fun running the basenji 500 inside the house.  Jumpin up on the couch & leaping to the easy chair, then running down & around the kichen table back to the couch and blasting down the hallway to our bedroom and around and around and around.  This one time we wuz doing the 500 and we ran though a paint tray when Ma was painting the hallway shortly after the carpet was removed.  Ma just laughed and said "won't the next owners be suprised when they find your foot prints if they ever rip up the floor".

We may be barkless, but...

Us basenji's always suprize our basenji parents with the racket we can make.  Last week Eeyore was yodeling, squacking and howling.  Then he made the purfect "meeoowww".  Can you belive it, my brother Eeyore basenji whom does not like cats, acutally meowed.  I wonder if that's how he gets near the cats inside our back yard.  Me...well I acutally talk (sometimes).  We had company and they were staying too late - way past my bedtime.  Ma and Pa were trying to nicely get Dwayne to leave, but Dwayne was chit chatting at the door.  Ma was holding me so I told Dwayne to "go out".  Dwyane then sez "your dog just told me to go".  Yep that's what I said.  (I can swear too...but I better not tell you them bad words).

We like to snuggle by the fireplace.

Training our Ma & Pa

Eeyore and me have figured out how to get Ma or Pa to pick us up.  You see...ya just hafta whimper and wine and pace back & forth near any window.  Then Ma will form a barrel shape with her arms and reach down so us basenjis can step into the human arm elevator and then we get lifted up so we can see what's goin on outside.  Can you see the cows just outside our bedroom window?
