Butu's Bed…

Basenji Talk
  • I bought Butu a "Really Tough Tuffie" from Tuffies, as it came with a money back guarantee (which I was convinced I'd be using!) It made a huge difference to his behaviour - I no longer get multiple Basenji 500s every night. So I bought him a Tuffie nest as a crate/travelling one and he loves that very much too. They are very well made and apart from the "Really Tough Tuffie", which a friend calls his 'Kryptonite' bed, come in lots of nice colours. Butu's nest is blue with a Black Watch tartan fleece. I'm seriously considering getting a flat bed for him with a mudproof cover for the car. They are not the cheapest on the market, but neither are they the most expensive, and, in the case of the "RTT", I do not envisage having to replace it for many years. I have no connection with the company, save as a really satisfied customer. As we're talking beds, before I discovered Tuffies, I was considering Orvis - but they are very pricey - anyone any experience with Orvis beds?

  • Oops, forgot the url for UK customers…and forgot to mention that they will make bespoke beds too...

  • Never really knew about the Orvis stuff…would surely try one for my pet!!

  • Do let me know how you get on…they do look lovely!

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    If you find that you have excessive collars/leashes, you may want to call your local shelter and see if they would like to have them. So many shelters run on such a shoestring budget, it might be something they'd be able to use but not afford…. Just a thought

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat
