A boy that lives up to his name

    My BRAT boy, Hunter, lived up to his name this morning!

    I had to go out to my shop to grab a package of halibut out of my freezer for my boss (bribe to keep my job!!!:rolleyes:).

    I have 3 of the big Rubbermaid tubs full of kindling. Hunter was all in one of them, sniffing & going crazy. I know I have rats in my yard/woodpile/shop because I find their droppings. I don't mind as long as they don't eat my stuff and they stay out of my house!!!

    Anyway, I was going to be late for work and couldn't get Hunter out of my shop! I thought I heard a little scratching from inside the bin he was investigating so I had a brilliant solution. Drag it out to the yard, so I could lock up my shop and go off to work! The minute I started to drag it a rat hopped out! Almost on my foot! Of course, I screamed like a girl (because I am one) and it ran between 2 bins and between 2 basenjis.

    The basenjis didn't see it run but Hunter tracked it down and ran where it had run off to. He didn't catch it but at least it's out of my kindling box.

    Extra treats before running out the door to work for being a good "Hunter"!!!:)

    My first Basenji in the mid 80s caught a big rat and was shaking it around, let it fly and hit me in the leg with it. She quickly ran over and finished it off. She used to flush them out of my garage too. I live near a shipping port and they were coming off the ships.

    Loki's picky eating comes and goes, even after Kaia got here. He has had no problem letting her finish his dinner when he didn't feel like eating. I've added yogurt and/or pumpkin to his kibble and that has helped him finish his dinner. They are oddballs in that they will sit and wait for the other to finish, then switch bowls to make sure every last bit has been cleaned up. They also frequently trade bully sticks with one another, but higher value stuff like meaty bones are a no-no to come near. Last month I started them both on Nupro and he actually gets excited at meal times! That has never, ever been the case prior to adding that in. I haven't had to utter the dreaded "finish your dinner" in weeks ;)

    @DebraDownSouth: Oh that was WONDERFUL. I love Jimmy Stewart. Hopefully he and beau are together again. I had that thought too - I'm sure they are. Might have to watch Vertigo this weekend. What's not to love about Jimmy Stewart?

    Some nice suggestions; I have none, just wanted to say that musical is one of my favorites. I have the album, yes, vinyl. For those too young, B4 the MP3, the CD, there were these big round discs of vinyl called albums, and they played on both sides! :) Perhaps 'Kinetics Fie(ght) on Goodness' (Fie on Goodness - song from said musical) - yeah, I know, lame. :D P.S. I like Knight of the Round Tails :)

    Are we playing "Where's AJ"? Is it Kansas City? Glad you and your fella are reunited. I know I've missed my boy when i've had to kennel him and can't pick him up 'til the next day 'cause they are closed. So hard to know he's right there and not be able to see him.

    Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions! I read about the poo in the console too, yucky! There will be 4 of us and the 2 dogs, so hopefully we can keep them out of trouble. :eek:
