Picture Time: The Puppy Pile Edition

It's the most wonderful time of the year! That is right, the time of year for basenji puppies to be born. Miss Sabrina has once again put her dainty paws (and other body parts) to providing us with an adorable litter of 5 puppies to socialize. Laura must be so proud of her girl! Sabrina spend most of the year showing her little heart out and is a silver Grand Champion. Her pups from last year a following in her foot steps and all have started their show careers successfully. Way to go Laura and Laurel Basenjis :)

Now here is the part you are waiting for delightful baby basenji pictures. The litter just turned 3 weeks old. That means we have open eyes and they are starting to explore their world just a bit.

Sabrina says before they start moving too much they make great pillows!

Puppy ying and yang,,,

Mostly they make puppy piles...

I made these!

Look at those sweet faces!

Also bonus sunbathing basenji!

Watson was charging his solar cells the other morning...

The Secret Santa Edition

Hey everybody :)

Every year around the Holidays we do a Secret Santa exchange with other dog people from the Chaz dog message board. Today our package arrived and the dogs had a blast poking at their Christmas gifts. Despite the cameras best efforts to fail at this, since it felt there was not enough light in the room, I managed to get at least some pictorial evidence of the fun.

The Curly Tails got quite the haul this year. Their Secret Santa did most awesome. There were lots of work to eat toys in  the package. Also Menchi's favorite treats in the world... Bison Jerky! The stuffed moose was the undisputed star of the package though!

A box!

What could it be?

Basenji box inspector!

Open it food lady!!!

Ohhhh....

I think it's for us!

Are there treats?

A stuffed moose emerged and he was immediately the most popular guy in the room!

Watson hogging the moose...

If you look closely you can see moosefuzz in the corner of her mouth...

Plucking the moose...

Everyone wanted to dance with the moose.

Then Watson found a chewy bone...

And Menchi had the moose all to herself for a while.

Making love to the chew toy...

Hey buddy...I came back for you!

Showing the moose some love...

The Haul!!!

Picture Time: A Fall Outing

Finally managed to get out with the dogs last Sunday for some air and stretching of the legs. The weather was gorgeous and we went to explore Token Creek Dog park. We had not tried this park before. It is a beautiful spot and we will definitely visit again.

Checking out the new park...

Proper Shar Pei...is proper!

When I started to take this shot the where both in the frame and looking at the camera...

The ground was sniffed and the smells assessed for quality...

They were very thorough in their examinations...

Shar Pei in the shade...

Shar Pei in the sun!

 

The majestic basenji beast!

Sometimes he even has a recall...
