The Christmas "Beast" that almost wasn't

ROFLMAO.
Long ago a friend posted the funniest story about his chow, Micio.
Says both families were there for Thanksgiving. He said they had just sat down when they heard her thundering feet coming down the hall toward the dining room…someone had left the bedroom door open where he was "secured".
He said he grabbed the turkey, his wife grabbed the stuffing and cranberry sauce, and he was praying the other relatives would guard the rest of the food. Says this BLUR went past him over the table and he was in shock until he heard his father in law laugh, looked and THERE was Micio, safely on the other side of the table, her mouth full of...... THE NAPKINS.
Fortunately, Chows, like Basenjis, have paper fetishes.

It was the CAT, I tell ya, the CAT did it.

Kismet was safely (and securely) shut away upstairs during any food and door traffic activities so I have no good stories to tell… but I was watching mythbusters the other day and on their holiday special they talked about the damage a frozen turkey could do to a dog! I didn't get to see the whole show, but one part showed their "dog" and with the turkey falling on it causing the back to fully crack. I never even thought of something like that ever happening. Hold on to them turkeys and other heavy meats tight!
Tho I did find out my baby is a scaredy cat. When we'd let her down after people came over she'd stand on the stairs watching someone and back up anytime they made a move toward her. Then step forward barking a bit then back up the stairs.. was funny ;) She also made a dash after being walked and let in the front door for the back patio (sliding glass door was closed at the time!) And full speed right into it... unfortunately that's not the first time she's had door run-ins LOL. She seems to learn her lesson right after and checks to see if a door is there, but forgets it later on.

A dear friend of mine rescued a sweet little basenji boy a few years ago. She had no idea that basenjis can fly. They had Parker for a couple of weeks when they ordered pizza. My friend was upstairs with Parker when her son called up the stairs and said that the pizza had arrived. She started down the stairs with Parker coming down in front of her. Her son was sitting at the table with a slice of pizza half way to his mouth. Parker jumped off the stairs and sailed through the air right past the son's face. Everyone was in awe when they realized that Parker was sitting on the other side of the room with the pizza in his mouth!!

LOL yep, chows and basenji can fly. :)

Your stories are a riot! We are usually pretty careful not to leave anything where our B's can jump, climb or fly - but - Heaven help you if you are casually eating anything when not at the table and your arm comes low enough for a quick run-by! We've lost sandwiches, cookies, hot dogs. . . . the list goes on!

Very funny, too bad no one had a camera to record the "action".

Too funny and YES, way too smart…

I recently had just peeled a banana to eat, while holding onto the bottom of the banana, turned my head just an instant from the banana in front of me(mind you its about chest high) and the banana was happy being gulped down by my Cody. Never even jostled my hand.
