C-Me "1"… Squirrel "0"

    @tanza:

    C-Me at 5 months 6 days got her first Squirrel today… Yuk.... and then Franie had to "help".... I was not amused since I have to do the "clean up" ... but that is what they do....

    Nice C-Me! Sometimes the squirrels bate the dogs and don't time the tree distance right.

    I only have 1 squirrel here-and he stays away. Now, the birds? About a month ago, I was fishing in Sugar's mouth-again. I won. But the birds weren't in good shape.

    C-me can come visit anytime and get rid of the bushy-tailed tree rats around here! Mine used to chase them as they ran around the fence-top but alas, none ever fell into the yard for them. Now mine are older, would like the squirrel broiled with a nice marsala sauce, if you please.

    Congrats, C-Me!

    Good for you C-me! No pictures? I guess it all happens so fast. Moses keeps on getting possum babies, not fair, but hey, I can do it if they are in my yard.

    Chief only just recently showed any interest in critter activity. Up until yesterday he would just amble along totally clueless as zoe strained at he leash trying to get some squirrel. Then yesterday a squirrel was in our yard and he half heartly chased it. This morning on our walk he was right there with zoe trying to catch a squirrel. I'm happy they havent caught anything yet not looking forward to when it happens.

    of course I'm comfortable

    Benny caught a Bunny today… the Bunny was in the garden, it tried to jump out and Benny ran and caught it mid-air. I grabbed Benny's leash, but it was too late for the Bunny :( .

    :DLove the adventure stories! Our shepherd mix was set free in the pen before our basenji Kismet and there was a squirrel party going on. Poor Kismet missed the fun since the shepherd Gypsy got there first and killed the squirrel before I could release Kismet. Better luck next time! There is no squirrel shortage here and they clean my bird feeders. I am sure the red tailed hawk likes a nice easy meal too!

    our garden is loaded with fieldmouses at the moment…. my B's do not care very much but my Ibizan hounds snack them all the time, sometimes they bring one inside for me to have, as a present, and they look quite offended when they notice I throw their delicious present in the garbage can ....

    If I call you names, please note that I am not suffering the Tourette syndrom.

    Does your Basenji canter "true"?

    @Knipper: Cricket canters true on left and right lead. Her flying lead changes are stunning! I wish I could get those out of Ryley! Perry does nice flying changes too, and occasionally does a simple change through trot. He is certainly smoother and more consistent than most of my horses, who will throw in a disunited stride or two on occasion! :)

    Does anyone know of a website that shows you how to trim a b's tail? Or, should that be left to doggie grooming 'experts'? Kipawa's tail is lovely now, but any bushier and I think I might want to tidy it up.

    So far my gate is still working. We don't ever step over the top though, I'm hoping Moses doesn't try to go over the top if he doesn't see us do it? He does try and throw his weight at the area thats latched to break thru :) Lets hope he does figure it out, he's still just a puppy.

    The Evergreen basenji club in Seattle has wonderful lure coursing and rally training. The basenji weekend is Aug is a great way to see b's do all sorts of activities. The dogs doing rally and lurecoursing are my fav…

    I used to say my dog was aggressive until I read this thread… Now I say it is more of a defensive mechanism for Buddi. Buddi doesn't like anyone or anything to approach him. He wants to smell and get to know them or it first. If someone new comes into the house I tell them not to acknowledge Buddi at first and then once he has finished getting to know them he will walk away. After that he is fine. But if someone walks in and puts their hand towards him he instantly turns into a very loud and shows aggressive behavior like he is going to attack. The theory has worked very well to date. With dogs it is a little different. He also doesnt like small dogs. The ones close to his size or larger we have never had a problem. Should I handle the situations in a different manner? Also he doesnt go to a doggie spa or day care so we make sure to go to the park and keep him socialized with dogs there and ones that he knows. We also have friends with young kids and he loves them. Has never growled or snipped at them. He LOVES to play!!!!

    Sahara does not like the dark either, I have to go out with her for her evening potty runs. She gets out there and if I am there she will go in the front or back, but will look around the side of the house to make sure I am still there. She is so funny.
