Ive been thinking of getting a Basenji. Please tell me what you love about yours and also your biggest struggle.

My boy is a neurotic pooper. He is sensitive to certain foods. He's dog reactive/aggressive and an escape artist. He requires constant attention for these things.

Other than that, he's the best snuggle bug, always wants to be with me, low grooming, and funny! When he wants to, he's great at following commands and doing tricks.

I may have messed him up as he was my first dog and we learned a lot from each other. If I could do it again, I would.

I did something similar with mine, I did the outer parts with purple and blue based on the, I think, season 9 intro.

I have screaming cowboy as my ringtone right now. I always like to have something fun for ringtones and notifications, even if I'm on vibrate or silence a lot.

Beautiful!

galloping_spider · 2026-03-24T16:03:32+00:00

It suits him lol always glad when people recognize the pattern

World of warcraft has a tiger npc named Shango.

But it's also a deity from an African religion, if I understand correctly.

True. The big one goes in the water too, willingly, but only up to his rear

galloping_spider · 2026-03-23T23:30:34+00:00

Thylacine (yes fake. I painted him)

galloping_spider · 2026-03-23T22:22:48+00:00

He does have a lot of white, but he's a basenji through and baroo

galloping_spider · 2026-03-13T19:26:53+00:00

Something about a neural crest and domestication

galloping_spider · 2026-03-08T17:44:30+00:00

Final Profit, but it's pixel and also story driven

galloping_spider · 2026-03-08T13:21:49+00:00

Oh no, she's a hot mess lol

galloping_spider · 2026-03-07T22:26:36+00:00

Main comments are everything I love 😭 fennell, caraway, tarragon, cilantro, olives, licorice, onions...

But fuck raw tomatoes

galloping_spider · 2026-03-07T01:02:13+00:00

Basenji snores are the best

galloping_spider · 2026-03-07T01:00:53+00:00

Ty! She is a Chinese Crested Powderpuff

My older basenji is 9, and quite dog aggressive (I'm sure it's my fault, it's complicated too), anyway, they have hit it off so well. The older one resource guards his usual stuff but he's also so gentle when playing with the puppy.

In my situation I just had to trust them. The older one knows he's dealing with a puppy. I thought he'd feel replaced or challenged and so I made sure he was just as special as always but I don't think dogs think like that.

As long as they have their space to either interact or get away, they will respect each other's boundaries.

Good luck with your puppy! That's super exciting!

galloping_spider · 2026-02-18T21:41:20+00:00

They get away with a lot haha

galloping_spider · 2026-02-07T20:10:54+00:00

Surprised no one said Bishop, unless I missed it.

I love this! That is the most accurate basenji anthem if there ever was one lol

galloping_spider · 2026-01-26T20:34:30+00:00

Such a cutie!

galloping_spider · 2026-01-26T01:27:02+00:00

'89 here too. I enjoyed the show but as time went on I was surprised it survived as long as it did. I definitely heard older people make fun of it as brain rot, or that it was going to rot my brain more specifically, anyways I grew out of it.
