And yes, I was concerned daily that someone would call the police about the abuse occurring in our home. He quit screaming when we found the "proper" blanket for his crate. I blessed that day.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948089842492466681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954845260327602387.post-20557791866470914792010-10-06T10:35:12.132-04:002010-10-06T10:35:12.132-04:00I once had the audacity to hose down my muddy B-gi...I once had the audacity to hose down my muddy B-girl after a dog park visit instead of a warm bubble bath. I now know what a screaming basenji sounds like. I was afraid the neighbors would call the police for animal abuse!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954845260327602387.post-80510992031408306222010-10-06T09:48:10.307-04:002010-10-06T09:48:10.307-04:00Our old boy, Simba, could "bark" like yo...Our old boy, Simba, could "bark" like your Bow. He did it rarely, and usually when on the alert or startled by something. He also screamed, loud and long, when he aquired a sandspur in his paw. And while removing it, himself. <br /><br />He never barooed until he was 11 years old, after he heard a pack howling on audio tape. After that, he would do it with very little encouragement. More of a howling song, like a wolf. Nose pointed to the sky and everything. And extremely proud of himself.<br /><br />Our current 10 year old girl was very disturbed by Simba's howling. We have never been able to get her to come even close to a baroo. Just a very, very quiet yawning "talk." She will "scream" if she feels injured unjustly (e.g., accidently bumping into furniture while chasing a toy.) <br /><br />I agree that the screams are not as video-worthy as the "songs." Have you ever seen the youtube video of the female basenji "singing" to the piano rendition of the Godfather? It's basenji opera at its best. Truly dramatic : )Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221703763145912238noreply@blogger.com
