Oil changing Basenji

  • ChaseandZahrasmomC

    I was hanging up a hook in the garage and when I went to come back into my house Zahra ran out into the garage and got into the pan that my husband uses to change the oil in his vehicle. I grabbed her quickly but she got away and ran into the house tracking little motor oil foot prints all through my kitchen and then ran up the stairs.

    This little event earned Zahra a pretty long bath with lots of soap. I still don't think that I got all of the motor oil off of her paws!

    That little B needs to limit herself to tune ups…....much cleaner and not so messy.
    That's funny Chase.:)

    LOL! Stormie did that once when visiting my Dad (who is not a basenji fan to begin with - I'm pretty sure I must be adopted ;o) ). Dad was less than pleased with the little oily senji footprints through the garage, but he did find the humor in seeing Stormie in the bath tub looking like a disgraced, drowned rat! :o)

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    Dogs learn quickly, especially if their former home was not so nice. Then a new name is perfect. We changed Nicky's name from Nyako, picked a "sound alike" and she learned it pretty quickly, well, as much as some basenjis ever "learn" their name. Some days she doesn't recognize it at all, haha. Eddie was Skippy, I looked at him and called him Fast Eddie and it stuck. That boy knows his name all the time! And do tell, what is the awful name???
