    Beeji had a blast tonight. A friend and I had to clear out a storage hut in our backyard. My friend couldn't come till it was dark so we had the backyard lights on and our flashlights.

    As we were pulling out boxes, Beeji was in the middle of everything sniffing like mad and trying to open any box lids not taped down. There were 2 folks coming to pick up a LOT of boxes for a charity yard sale tomorrow. We were putting the yard sale boxes on one side and the keepers on the other.

    Beeji had just about given up on the boxes when my friend found an old piece of pink plastic shower curtain (why it had been kept is a great mystery), and Beeji decided it was his and his alone.

    He took off running and dived into the center of the plastic and began grabbing the sides and shredding it like mad. At first we thought of taking it away from him but then he grabbed one end and began to run around the yard with the plastic flapping over his back like a cape! It was too cute and I sure wish I had had a camera that would take night time shots but sadly I don't.

    We kept an eye on him to make sure he wasn't swallowing any but he was too busy shredding away. Finally after several blasting runs around the yard with said plastic flapping and several more leaps into the plastic and rolling up inside of it and finally shredding it to bits, he just sprawled out in the middle of this huge pile of shredded plastic strips and grinned and grinned.

    When the folks came to pick up the yardsale stuff, Beeji ran inside the house to wait with Mom and to get a treat. After they loaded up, we proceeded to pick up a gazillion bits of plastic and then we got to go inside for some warmth and a human treat or two!!!

    Beeji was crashed on the couch flat out on his back his head thrown back off the sofa cushion snoring his heart out. What a happy contended little dog!! Gotta love him!

    We live in Florida and we are on the water alot. We use the Ruff wear life jacket . We have had others but did not love one until we purchased this one. My basenji loves the boat and the Ocean but will not get in the swimming pool.

    Sounds like your vet's office has all the right setups for boarding and for day care - my own vet's office does not have all those facilities. Wish they did! At the place where I do take them, the outside play area is covered,so climbing out is not possible, or I would worry about that as well, since our B's certainly can climb! So glad you have found a place Cody is safe and happy when boarding is necessary.

    @Quercus: Yes…I have that feeling regularly! It takes my breath away when Bella floats across the yard at over six years old...she looks as beautiful as she did as a puppy...moreso even :*) And then the spell is broken, as her son uses her as a mop to clean up all the dirt on the patio ;) Ha, ha, ha…mine is a similar story... I'm in awe the way Ruby moves...it is breathtaking. And her coat is dark chestnut so the white is soooo white, she is beautiful. And Brando is so muscular and such an incredibly male looking boy...so handsome. Liyah's coat is gorgeous...really dark chestnut with not a lot of brindle stripes...they are all so lovely to look at and I think how lucky I am that they are happy and healthy. And then "snap back to reality"...Liyah goes and clamps on Ruby's neck or grabs Brando's tail and then the noises of "cujo" end my beautiful picture. :D:D:D

    @rammaam: The only way to bath my two, is to take them into the shower. I use the sprayer with hose. My husband get in the shower and bathes them and I hold the other so he does not escape the bathroo. Then its his turn. While he getting his shower, i'm drying his sister, (with lots of help). It ends up with everyone soaked. lol… Mya showers as well. She just can't stand the bath. But she'll tolerate the shower. :p

    For all those of you living in cold climates - I got a "Chilly Dog" coat (http://www.chillydogs.ca/) for Brodie a couple Christmases ago. It is a great design and super warm and has held up really well. A bit expensive but worth it. He also got a matching head muff which was supposed to keep his ears warm (this was when we were living in Ottawa and the -40C weather) but he hated having his ears covered.
