rocky LOVES going outside.. and he will NOT come to me to get his collar/leash on! lol he runs around like he wants me to chase him.

uggh reminds me of my parents dog. Lady, in her younger years, would take cat poo out of the litter box and eat/roll in it. outside she would do the same with random poo on the ground.

just be glad you didnt have to clean up the carpet too! lol:p

I'm glad everything turned out alright. A long time ago I remember hearing that and used it once with Dakota. It's hard NOT to chase after them and run in the opposite direction but it really does work.
We put up a 4 foot wrought iron fence around the front yard. Mine are pretty good about staying in when the door is opened but I would never totally trust them. Hubby did once leave the door and the gate wide open and all three took off down the block. Luckily a neighbor had his dog out and used him as bait to get our three back.

mia and rocky both shaKE in the car..

mia cries the whole time too..

this reminds me of a story.. my best friends mom was taking her dog (rhodesian ridgeback mix who is less than a year old) and her brothers dog (a 1-2 year old yellow lab) on a walk in a field behind the house off lead. and the two dogs were running around and ran straight into her knee.. and she couldnt put weight on it and used my best friends crutches ( shes a soccer player and has lots of knee problems and surgeries) that were laying around.. that was thanksgiving break.. during christmas.. she went to the doctors and her leg was BROKEN!

@Basenji_Boy:

It's the high mountian air…..cuts off the oxygen.:D

Added to the fact that my brain has turned to tapioca….darn kids.;)

So…kinda like "Six Degrees of Separation" (or fewer), huh? Very cool.

@Barklessdog:

What is the typical basenji neck size??

We did the 10-15" for both Nexa and Leo.

We'd be up for it 😃

Yeah, They're awesome!!

sorry double post

Very nice yard! Especially considering you have basenjis.

Last fall, I was having some trouble with slugs eating my blazingstar (Liatris) and sprinkled some organic stuff (made with rotten eggs). It was rated to be non-toxic to pets - except I forgot about the smell – EL D made a beeline for it as soon as he smelled it. Never used that again!

Mine are winding down for the evening but

We have winners for
Best Coffee Table Ornament -Rally
Best Race down the stairs and collision with Sofa - Rio and Sophie
And there has been a close race between all for the
Best You Make a Better Door than Window but the winner is…... Nicky

Happy birthday Jayden!

@scarlettsmomma:

…I was just diagnosed with the flu 😞 .

Bummer. Feel better. Take care of yourself.

((Hugs)) to you…you know you can count on this forum for support, venting and laughs to cheer you up, if needed.

Happy, happy birthday Mickii!!! You're looking great!

@sharronhurlbut:

Please make sure you strip test your basenjis one a month. If you see a lot of water drinking/peeing, please get the strip tests out and test again.
These poor puppymill dogs are not from quality breeders and their health is so
much in doubt….
So, strip test, and if you get a puppymill dog get them tested for fanconis.
Knowledge is power.

For sure everyone should be strip testing.. and better yet, consider doing a DNA Test for Fanconi…. and if you are strip testing... consider doing it more than one day, once a month.. consider doing it 3 to 4 days in a row per month...

@ELERICKSON40:

Yes I agree. She is quite the mighty hunter and her nose is to the ground always!! Alot of times when she is digging in the couches and chairs she is trying to bury a bone. She will stuff a bone into the corner and actually take her nose and push imaginary dirt?? over the bone. It makes us laugh!!

Yea, my B does the same, the first time I saw this I was so intriged, they are so smart. It is a funny thing to watch, Sahara will take a bone around the house in her mouth for the perfect place to bury it. If she can't find a place she is happy with she will prance around whinning the sadest noise like she is so sad. I actually pitch in and help her find a place, and she will most of the time agree on the place, she checks it out and then walks off. These dogs spoil you for any other breed, they are the best.

This is huge for her!! Congrats 😃
