Back Story

  • GoobyG

    I got Goober from the North Shore Animal League in Long Island, NY. He was dropped off neutered and with no history. So I made up a back story to make him less mysterious. Enjoy.

    Dr. Jack Eevel was your typical mad scientist. Atomic supermen, high jacked nuclear weapons, frickin sharks with fricking laser beams on their fricking heads. When his plan for world domination was cut short by a bumbling, over sexed "secret" agent he switched to breeding atomic super dogs instead.

    His attempt at breeding a Basenji the size of an elephant left his secret rocket ship a ragged mess. After he was forced to roll up a giant newspaper and build a state of the art sound system to broad cast "Who did this? BAD DOG!" he moved on to black labs. He dropped off his neutered test pups at the North Shore Animal League, LI, NY.

    Dr. Eevel is currently enjoying his retirement in his secret volcano lair in the Republic of Pulau.

    An agility dog is always an agility dog, no matter how old! And racers too I guess! None of mine are athletes but Nicky at 14 always amazes people, if you don't see her grey hairs or cataracts, you think she is much younger. Love the 'oldies but goodies'.

    Under the covers, out of the covers, under the covers, out of the covers…....My husband has 3 of us to deal with (menopause is hell:eek:)!! Try buying a body pillow. It divides the bed and lets you sleep on your side with it between your knees which realigns the lower back and pelvis. If the dog takes it over, it slides away easily as opposed to trying to move a sleeping bag of cement. I have many lower back bone spurs and a ruptured disc. My pillow works wonders. Got my last one @ Walmart for $10.00.

    I am glad to hear that his UTI is gone. It might be good for dogs to be left for a few days and then come and pick them up, just like it is good for kids. It teaches young kids that mom, dad or whomever has not 'dumped" you, they will come back. I wonder if dogs would see that connection? Good news that he howled, I have yet to hear Otis, although he does have his own language going on when I vacuum clean.LOL.

    @tanza: Amen to that Kellie…. and put them in your lap and then show people.. sorry... they do shed.. but that it is not as much as many other breeds... gggg.... And of course, most Basenjis are not "lap dogs" so… when you put this noisy, somewhat shedding dog in their laps they quickly find that it is wiggling and squirming to get down...:eek:

    It sounds just like EL D a couple of months ago. Except the cat made it to the fence but couldn't quite make it over, did a sommersault over EL D. As EL D turned around the cat tried again and just cleared the fence. Lucckkyyyy :)
