Funny Little Story

Basenji Talk
  • This past weekend Chance and I decided to drive out of town to visit my family. Everything went great until the trip home. I decided on taking a back road so I would avoid traffic coming back into the Bay Area. I knew this back road had a ton of cops but I just wanted to get home!
    While driving, I came to a semi climbing a hill so I sped up to pass em. Little did I know, a CHP was at the top of the pass and clocked me going 70 MPH in a 55 zone :eek: OOPS
    Well he pulled me over and little Chance decided to wake up. He got really excited to see this person at my window and he started screaming and getting a little too excited. The officer had never seen a Basenji before and was not familiar with the screams. Chance would not quiet down so the officer asked me to shut him up. Ha! I informed him that the only way to do so would be to let him out of his crate. The officer would not let me get out of the vehicle to do so. Here I am in a car with a screaming Basenji and a cop telling me over and over again to quiet him down! Not to mention he was getting a little angry at this time. Purfect timeing huh?!!
    Finally after a few minutes of this he gave in and let me take him out of the crate. :rolleyes:
    I still got the ticket but at least Chance was allowed out :D
    Im sure this Pleasanton CHP won't forget this experience! Hahaha

  • LOL, cops are not always the brightest

    I hope he peed on the cop's leg!! :p

    How did Chance do with the car sickness?

  • Are you kidding me??!! :eek: I'm appalled at that request. What difference does it make to him if my dog is barking or not??? It has absolutely nothing to do with the ticket or the infraction…good grief...do your job & leave the poor dog be!!

    Sorry I've had some terrible run in's with officers living near New York City you can imagine it's NY Attitude vs. NY Attitude...lol :D

    I probably would have told him..uh NO I'm not going to shut him up. I don't have to & you can't make me! :D

    Hahahahaha! I wish I would of…especially since I STILL got the ticket :confused: We always try to act all sweet and innocent to try to get out of it...If only I knew that he was going to be by the book ;)

  • "Sorry sir, he always does this when he smells bacon."

    Just kidding of course. I've met 10X more nice cops, than idiot/rude cops.

    When I was with BEAR rescue in OH, I rescued a young B/Sheltie female Mix from a Columbus shelter. We went lure coursing in PA and stayed at a motel that had waterbeds. This girl was under the covers along with the Bs and in the middle of the night I woke up to hear panting. This crazy girl did not know any better than to get out from under the covers to get cooler. I had to physically pull her out, get her some water, and put her on top of the covers to cool her off! Even though she had a narrow snout like a Sheltie, a slightly heavier coat than a B, and a looser tail, she had a running style like a B and loved to chase the lure. There was a picture taken of her lure coursing. She also like to retrieve balls which none of the Bs would do. She was a sweetie and was eventually adopted.

    mine love ice too, but not as much as aerosol whipped cream! They come running when they hear the ice and the sound of the whipped cream shooting out of the can!!

    I've had two different people mistake Piper for a boston terrier. Both were walking bostons and came running over to play with my boston puppy then didn't want to believe me when I told them she was a basenji. But I can't blame them because Piper thought their dogs were basenjis. She got so excited when she saw them coming just like she does whenever she meets another basenji. Unfortunately she found out that while they were nice dogs they just were not as fun as basenjis.:)

    Sometimes I actually think basenjis have magic pee. The grass always seems to be greener in those spots. :D
