    Alex, my daughter just got a Samoyed puppy. We are not allowing him loose with Cara yet, but she does crazy play with him in his crate and he literally rocks it side to side playing back. Your guys made me laugh. I love the wilds. (Unfortunately Cara wants to play around 1 am!)

    I remember when I was a child there were two Great Danes at a store we used to frequent in summer. They were very patient with children, even the ones that tried to ride on their backs! I am sure a Basenji pup is less objectionable than a toddler. :)

    @Rita: What about memory foam on one of those heated pads that should make the hips better all warm. Soft so don't hurt hips and heat make it nice kind a extra. Rita Jean the memory foam beds are pretty thick, i'm not sure the heat would go through from underneath. but they do make heated inserts for beds - that may work. and by all means, i'm sure your "pup" would enjoy it. some are like memory foam chips, i'm not sure how that would be. BUT if you want a nice thick foam bed (not memory foam) and your dog isn't distructive, you can go to the craft/fabric/upholstry store and buy some really thick foam. I've done this for an insert in a bed

    Thanks Humanoid. I L'dMAO. Great idea with the home made wood bed. I still can't praise the Duluth Trading Company beds enough. Katie proof (a bed digger), and Tyler proof (exposed stuffing of any kind is fair game). 6 years and the bed is still in use. Washable outside and re-stuffable inside pillow (inside only replaced once due to a basenji/skunk incident) After 5 or 6 dog beds, this one is a keeper for me.

    My Mr Eko will be 10 weeks tomorrow. He is a very good puppy too, as he sleeps in his own bed in our bedroom, and has never attepmted to get onto the bed (yet). ALthough we would love to have him in bed, we have decided to keep it as it is (as long as it lasts, i should say instead). He is also very quiet when crated (although i still have to get over my own distress for restricting him while we are at work). But he does love to chew!!!

    @WBL: How high is the fence? Maybe you could raise it? :o LOL - It's only 2 feet high. I know, how embarrassed am I? :o But Duke didn't jump it - a 2" x 8" lattice panel laid on it's side across the walkway that leads from the backyard to the front yard. It worked for Duke as it discouraged him from running into the front yard. I was hoping that Daisy would stay with Duke though. This was my husbands best effort to not muscle in a gate at that point. Ha-ha-ha, now he will because I'm going to the home store and buying all the things necessary, cement, posts, and swinging gate. It was a pain in the $^% moving things over the cheap lattice panel anyway. It's what I wanted there in the first place. @Quercus: How about this? It will only work if she touches the fence as she goes over, though…not if she clears it..... I've never seen anything like this Coyote Roller! What a great idea. It looks nice too. For now, I like to be out in the yard with the kids anyway. We're stuck with the inground fence. @Barklessdog: You don't hit them with rolled up newspapers do you? No, never! I smack it on my hand for the noise it makes. Both Duke and Daisy know when momma gets that roll in her hands, she's not happy about something. It works for me to get attention from them.
