Site w/b stuff that helped rescue


  • Oh good Lord! I want one. No wait, I want a real one. I showed this picture to my husband and he reminded me that we have a moratorium on buying any more stuffed animals. We've got far too many stuffed red and white cats that resemble my special cat Barney. Oh, and he is special. I ask him to sit and he will. I place my palm in front of his face, as a request to get him to concentrate. Then I place my open palm in front of his front legs. He 'shakes a paw' then, all of this with only sight commands. I have also trained my cats to obey when I snap my fingers. If they are doing something they shouldn't do, I snap my fingers and point away from the area where they are causing the problem. They then go away. Oh, I could go on and on with what I have taught my cats, but this is a basenji forum! 🙂


  • If you can train a cat, your going to be fine when you get your new b…


  • Donna is AWESOME! She did a bunch of the trophies for last year's National…and she was very, VERY generous to us. Her work is great, and she is just a really good person!


  • Thanks, Sharron. I've done the training with lots of respect for my animals. Their state of mind always comes first. I find that there is the element of 'wanting to please' from them.

    At the Seattle Dog Show I picked up a pair of 'basenji socks' for me. They make me want to run around in capri pants so I can show them off, even though capris and socks are a little odd looking together. 🙂


  • Quercus, your so very right, re Donna. So very generous.
    Fran, I am at the age where I dress as I please, your still young, but there is nothing like the freedom to know that you can do what you want.
    Laugh.
    At least where clothes are concerned..giggle.

    Yes, ma'am, I am…would like to see them hugged up to you, safe and happy until one of them goes to its forever home. 😃


  • Heee, well, one of them is in with the other 3 in my display case. The second is on the way to BRAT for the raffel they will have at the convention.
    Such a wonderful surprise for me! and for the next person who gets this "rehomed" stuff b!

    I know she did the puppies, but did she do the embroidered towels too? Those were cool. I particulary like the b/w puppy because it almost has the same markings as Zoni. 🙂
