Lexi, in her younger-uncrated day (note I said DAY and not DAYS) destroyed: my husband's custom belt ($70), chewed holes in our brand new duvet($100), pulled down and shredded every mini blind in the house ($75), de-gutted every babydoll and toy in sight ($50), and chewed the door frame ($60). Coming home to find Lexi going nuts, doing the wiggle worm in the couch stuffing after tunneling into the sofa? Priceless!!! I wish I had my camera back then!! (Although my husband did not laugh like I did!)
Lesson learned: Never leave your Basenji uncrated, even for 5 minutes!! And even if she has a "good" older sister Doberman who can be trusted! She will only become an accomplice!

I wonder why dog people who don't have basenjis don't seem to know about crate training? Yesterday we met a young man and his dog while we were at the park. Scout's a beagle mix rescued from the pound. He said he and his wife are newlyweds living in a one bedroom apartment and they came home from work to find that Scout had gutted their queen sized mattress which they got as a wedding present from his parents 3 months ago! I mentioned crate training to him and he said, What do you mean crate training?

I do not crate Sahara anymore, but my chair was chewed while I was home, and all the other stuff that she has destroyed. This is the way it goes, she gets something, my hubby and I corner her as she is running with it and it goes on until we have gotten it. I do not leave my glasses on a table any more, or anything else I don't want chewed. Oh, by the way she has lots of stuffed toys, has not destroyed one yet, maybe I need to chew on them so she can see how it is. haha!!!!

Um…. feathers? Should've know that was coming! Lexi goes NUTS when she encounters pillows with feathers in them!!! She tries to roll all over them and wiggle worm on top!! It's so funny!!

I suppose Fender imagined himself on the African plain, sneaking up on and taking down the towering secretary bird. {do they even live on the plains?}.
Ahh yes. the Great African hunter strikes again. He must have had so much fun with that one!

My hubby came home one day to find lambskin bedroom shoes he had ordered in the yard. The box was ripped to pieces and the shoes had been nawed on some but she still tries to chew them when he wears them. She must think the lamb is meant for her also. hehe!!!!

Most recently this last friday, abby decided it was seek and destroy day! She ate my cell phone, missy's collar, my leather coat, she scratched two really big holes in my drywall next to her crate, tried to eat my husbands cell phone, ate my leather shoe and this was all in one day, usually she is not that bad but friday was an all around strange day!

You know those tags that come on pillows and mattresses that say Not To Be Removed Under Penalty of Law Except By The Consumer? Well, I bought a new pillow yesterday and of course, it got consumed.

Those tags drive Jazzy crazy! She MUST remove them immediately from anything she can get her teeth near.
