Embarrassment Basenji style

  • ChaseandZahrasmomC

    Zahra had an all day vet appointment today at Banfield, I dropped her off early this morning and got a phone call at about 12:45 pm that she was ready to be picked up, when was I going to pick her up. I knew what that meant, it means that she was screaming up a storm there. She screams like crazy when seperated from Chase.

    That wasn't the embarrassing part, the part that was embarrassing was that the nicest vet tech brought Zahra out in her arms cuddling her and talking about how sweet she was and then …

    She bends over, holds Zahra out a bit and has a strange look on her face.

    Zahra pee'd on her. All down the front of her and it went into her shoes.

    I wanted to turn invisible. :o

    That's when you say, "She really really likes you, you're the best Vet Tech…..........Ever!:D :D

    Ohhh, how funny! That poor girl. I'm guessing Zahra was quite proud of herself. ;)

    Aw! I'm sure it wasn't the first (or the last) time she'd gotten peed on! I'm sure that cudddling and snuggling from Zahra was well worth it! It's not often non-Basenji owners get to snuggle with one!

    Basenji screaming is typical at the vet…Caesar is a champ! "Why confine me when I can run amongst you and enhance your day!"

    The best part of this is that I had to take Chase to the vet yesterday because he injured his foot this past weekend. I was a little embarrassed to walk in there! LOL!

    As a former vet assistant, I can safely say that I was peed upon in my first 2 days on the job. A beautiful little soft coated wheaten terrier "initiated" me as I lifted her onto the exam table- lol! I've also had a big (and very nervous) mixed breed empty his anal glands on my pant leg - drool, slobber, and other unpleasant bodily functions were all part of my every day "attire"! :) It's all in a day's work, I assure you! :D

    This is what dogs do, I wouldn't be embarassed in the least, I am sure they are use to this. It would be worse if you took your kid to the doctor and they peed on them. haha!!!!

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    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.

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.

    Basenji Traits Your Basenji Doesn't Have…

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
