Rumor has it that L'Ox is a doll. Today he decided to see if he fits in with the other toys or if he should be shipped off to the island of misfit toys.
Our adults look like that in our living room! The floor between the couches is covered with toys, pillows and blankets. Sometimes I can't find a dog till I start digging! We shuffle our feet there so we don't squash a dog. L'Ox is just too cute.
Keep in mind, unless you correct them "in the act" they really have no clue that they have done something wrong, or more to the point "what they did wrong"…. shredding is pretty natural to a Basenji
@lvoss:
Most likely L'Ox will be staying. He has been pretty insistent that he is Kinetic Interesting Times since he was born and Interesting Times is the name I have been saving my keeper red/white Nicky son.
Sometimes I also feel sorry for him having no littermates but really he doesn't seem to mind much. He just really wants to be a big dog and fit in with his pack. Yesterday he mastered climbing onto the elevated dog beds and was rewarded by having Nicky come and curl up next to the bed he layed in.
Congrats on your new addition of the pack then :) He's a lovely puppy, very nice.. :)
This probably won't help, but Deke is really short for Zindeku it means "protective charm" in swahili. Thats not his registered name. His name describes his personallity now, but not when he was a puppy. He grew into it.
