Shaking Off Like Wet

    Our Basenji we have had since a pup. He's always had this thing that if we hold him or pet him a lot he will literally shake off after he is down on the ground. He also does this periodically when we walk him for no reason.

    What on earth? Do other B's do this or dogs in general?

    I think dogs do this for various reasons. Depending on context, it can be "whew, glad that's over!" to "well, that was fun, what's next?". At any rate, not unusual, IMO.

    "In order to get along with a Basenji, you have to be at least half as smart as the dog!"

    @zande said in Shivering ? Shaking?: I am not sure that I find this endearing - nor does my lovely cleaner, much as she adores the boys ! :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

    @Forever: You cant leave any glass unattended in my house zoey is a boozer. She especially tries for irish cream but I have had to pull wine glasses and wine coolers away. Hubby has caughter her at his beer or 7and 7. But its the smell of rootbeer that gets that look on her face. By the by our cat cant get any catnip toys in our house because the 2 dogs steal them and chew them up. MY Shaye seems to be becoming a boozer wannabe! If I'm having a glass of wine, it has to be WAY out of her reach, and if my husband has his Jack and Coke on the side table, she is constantly jumping up there and trying to get at it, so he has to move it or hold it all the time! So far we've kept it away from them, but we've had to be very very careful. Both :eek:dogs also steal all the catnip toys from the cat and chew on them - they don't chew them up, but they really really seem to like it!
