Bone burying

    Today I gave EL D a pizzle stick as a special Sunday treat. He's had them before but this time after chewing/eating about 1/3 he got kind of excited and wanted to go outside with it. So I let him out and he prances around with it until he finally found a spot to bury it in (about 10 inches of snow bank). This is the first time he's ever buried anything! And I wonder now if I'm going to have any garden come this next summer :p

    But then after maybe an hour he wants to go back outside and heads straight for the burial and digs it up and comes back inside with it. I guess he just wanted to chill it before finishing it off! :)

    Don't you put things you can't finish back in the 'fridge? He is just being a good boy!

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    I also thought of the heart worm pill iverheart and the frontline for fleas and ticks. would that bother them? i gave them the flea /tick over a week ago and the heart worm on the first…. other than that, they are pretty well watched 24/7. not a lot of chance to get into something. weird. i grew up with german shepherds. they were outside dogs, and very low maintenance. but so very loyal and independent. so this is very different. just want our babies to feel great and be happy!

    I love, love, love Nylabones! We have to get the Durable because both furkids are mighty chewers. Yesterday I picked up the T-Bone steak looking Nylabone which they are loving. I tried the spare rib looking one but they managed to rip pieces off that one because it was too soft. The other Nylabone chew that I love is the dental ball and the dental dinosaur. I have to order the dental ball because I have not found a store around here that sells them. We have the ring but they didn't seem very impressed with that. The edible Nylabone's don't last very long either since both Chase and Zahra devour treats like they never get them.
