One basenji is a blast, but no one told me that two basenjis are double the fun! These two are really enjoying one another's company. Roxy continues to blossom and show her full personality. She is getting stronger each day and her energy level is a thousand times better than the day she arrived. It is hard for me to believe looking at her as she wrestles with Iggy, that she has heartworms. It is hard for me to believe as she runs and jumps and plays, that she has heartworms. It is hard for me to believe as she has filled out and exhibits boundless energy, that she has heartworms. Her next vet visit on Jan. 21 will tell the full story: a chest x-ray and more bloodwork will determine the next steps for this precious baby.
As our days get longer, I am making it home from work with some daylight left, so now our evening walks are much more interesting. Today was the first time we went to the lake in my neighborhood in daylight. Our last outing around the lake at 6 a.m., Roxy went full tilt into the water chasing something. She was none too pleased to get her feet wet! So today, I think she enjoyed seeing the lake and interacting with all the smells and sights to be experienced. Lots of joggers were just icing on the cake.
So my final Roxy surprise today was this morning, when she brought me a stuffed animal to throw. This is actually a first in my household on any level--Iggy has never done that. She fetched it six or seven times before Iggy figured out he could interrupt all the action. Basenjis are so easily distracted, aren't they?!!?
