Who gets the computer chair

    My 24 yr old son came over to work on our pc yesterday and had a taste of basenji stubborness. Zoey loves the computer chair. As soon as you leave that chair she jumps up and curls into a ball. She will allow me a few inches if I really must get back on the pc lol. If i'm there first she will curl up behind me so of course I scoot forward to give her more room. She will lean against hubbys back but she will be on that chair :). Anyway my son went to sit down and had to push zoe off. She went but gave him that look! As soon as he got up to get something she jumped up again. He came back and tried to push her off but she dug in and the more he pushed the more she wouldnt move. He ended up pushing basenji and chair (which is not on wheels) a good 10 ft.
    He tipped the chair till she fell off. Had to carry it back and as soon as he set it down she was trying to jump up again. He picked her up put her on the ground in the living room, then the race was on as they both rushed back to the chair. I was no help because I was laughing too hard. He finally got the chair but she kept putting her front feet on his lap. Got to love a spoiled B.

    of course I'm comfortable

    btw, Cody is sleeping behind me as I type this, so I can sympathize!

    Mine's not so attached to the chair but she loves to sit in my lap when I work at the computer. Loves the little arrow especially when I make it go in circles!

    That sounds so cute! I have seen 'that look' in my sister's dog and even in my cats. We call it "stink eye".

    We have 2 computer chairs. As soon as a human gets up, a basenji lands in the chair. Then the human wants to return to the computer, you roll the one with the basenji out of the way and sit in the second chair. When you get up again, the basenji will move into this second chair. Ad infinitum…...

    Sounds like they like the 'bum warmth' :) left behind by their owner.

    I have a general question. Does anybody elses Basenji not like to be picked up. Ours sometimes loves it, and sometimes not. Also sometimes she runs up to dogs as quiet as can be and plays, and than other times she makes a squeeling noise, and people are afraid she is picking a fight with their dog. But I think shes just talking. She squeels at our new Whippet puppy, and loves to play with her and is as gentle as can be, considering the Whippet puppy is really rough on my poor Basenji baby girl. does anyone know what the squeeling means. The baroo I get she does that all the time. The squeeling is confusing.

    Hello! I wish to comment on my dog Pearl. She is Very quiet, hardly a sound. I try to encourage her to speak. She does a lot of nonverbal communication. About the child issue. Pearl came to us as a puppy. My kids (12 & 13 at the time) spent time with her, the neighbor kids played with her, and she loves kids. No problems socializing with young people. I guess the point is, your pup will love anyone who treats it well and cares for it. At 5 , I'm sure your child understands the importance of being gentle with dogs. Pearl has done her fair share of chewing. Interesting what she likes. She will be 2 in October, and is better, but she has lots of bones! I love Pearl, however, I am easy going, and enjoy taking her on walks, playing with her, and having her as a family member. Its up to you what you want from a dog. Pearl is pretty free, and thats what I like!

    How to get ink off?

    Hello, I have some ideas for your stains. Everything these ladies have been saying is correct. Hairspray definately works for ink stains, it has been tried and tested many times by myself. It works on all fabric types from synthetics to vinyls and all polycotton and cotton blends. Just spray your carpet (I like to over spray usually) and take some carpet cleaner and it should wash out. The Tide pen is a miracle in it's self, I too have recently discovered. Spot shot works really good on most stains, it used to be a household necessity until we got our Hoover Steam Cleaner. No pet owner should be without one!:D As far as the Basenji, good ol soap and water does the trick with some elbow grease! I am disgusted to say that my boyfriend one day decided he was going to give Tang a tatoo using a black sharpie marker. I got mad at him and took Metinga upstairs and washed her head until it came off. It did not take that long maybe about 10-15 min of washing and the white was good as new. I used a bit of dog shampoo as well.:D
