I feel so ashamed

    Kananga will be in front of the center speaker and tilt his head as he listens. He focuses all of his attention on this "mysterious" sound making device.

    Pippin does the same thing when I turn my cell phone on and the screen lights up and the jingle emitts..he tries to steal this wonderful music making device into his crate every time.. :)

    Otis loved, I mean loved, to lick my hubby's bald shaven head..it drove him crazy..so funny.
    Pippin likes to lick on your hand or arm, but only while he is falling asleep..almost like it is a binky..funny too :)


  • Cara does the fall asleep thing… wraps her mouth around my thumb, wrist, hand or arm and does this bizarre rubbing thing with her tongue, lol.


  • I LOVE the squeaky yawn noise! It's my favorite thing. Dex is not very vocal at all. The only noises he makes is when he yawns, whining if he wants something, and maybe three little "aroo" noises EVER if they can even be called that, when he gets desperate to be played with (by the cat who refuses to play with him).
    Much of the time, when he yawns he stretches his open mouth over my arm or anything solid that he can quickly find. So cute, but very strange. Otherwise he squeaks. :)


  • Musical yawns :) Cara does those, puppy noises, crying. She has made ONE baroo, last week IN HER SLEEP. Scared me til I realized what it was. And she gives boofs and one seriously scary growl. So no yodels here now. :(


  • Gee I am glad I started this thread. :)

    Debra, that just made me burst out laughing! I can virtually SEE Cara doing that!


  • You are not alone - Shaye licks my husband's pillow - fortunately not mine or I wouldn't be able to stand sleeping on it. I think it may be the sweat or just the smell of the thing - yuck to be sure.


  • Cody will lick my (or my husband's) forehead and (Ewww) closed eyes in the morning when he's waking up between us. It is, to say the least, a very disconcerting way to start the day!


  • LOL, Cara USED to put her nose on my eyelid. She has stopped (thank goodness), but I wondered if she knew if I opened it she would know I was awake, lol.

    Awwww. Cody is just telling you that he loves you and your husband. LOL


  • Jaycee loves to give little kisses on your face right before she goes under all blankets and goes to bed. Jayden's big deal is to steal all clothes out of the washer or dryer and lick them. You cannot leave the door open on either one and walk away because he gets clothes out and licks all over them ones in washer thats ok but my clean ones in the dryer not so ok.

  • If it stands still long enough Cooper licks it !!!! come to think of it, whatever it is doesn't have to stand still at all !!!! lol.

    He is my Dobes personal hair dryer, they mustn't be wet !!!!! He helps get the washing out of the machine whether it's clean or not, runs off with it 2 find a place in the sun and have a good lick lol. He is, as I type this licking the screen of the Laptop and trying to catch the cursor !!!

    You are not alone !!!!!:)


  • Well, last night I slept really well and was not aware of Kipawa giving me my nightly foot lick(s). I even slept through the alarm I have set to take him out at 5:30 a.m. Interestingly enough, I think he is getting to a point where he can hold himself all night long. Yay!


  • When I would take a shower I would come out & find my pillow soaked with dog in the room. I thought she was peeing on it. I finally caught her in the act actually licking it. I mean it was soaking wet too!

    Yuck!

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    I know.. time flies … already two and a half....... You are so right,, i guess the thing is I am envisioning a bit of a change in my living situation, where I may move to a bigger place and also maybe have the possibility of going to the mountains on a regular basis. This may or may not happen, but I guess I will know this year. If that happens then I definitely will want another.
