My crazy kids: Lexi & Miles

Show Off Your Dog
  • I know, I know… I'm totally obsessed. I just LOVE my kids!! (And I love when they 'talk' to me!! --Especially Miles because it's a new trick for him... and his noise is so much different from Lexi's... so cute!)

  • That was adorable. I liked the tail wagging!
    Our red and white is very vocal like that. Both of our boys were looking under the desk for the dogs making that noise.:p

  • It's funny- my dogs are so unaffected by their own video noises… I keep thinking that if I play it loud enough, they will know it's them, but nope- no reaction. LOVE LOVE LOVE Miles's tail wagging. He is so cute. Lexi will only wag hers for the laser pointer. And Miles makes a cute little joker face when he talks. So cute!

  • I'm so glad that Miles has worked out so well for you and your B family. He and Lexi are lucky dogs to have parents like you. Miles looks so happy and healthy now. And of course, Lexi is still her beautiful little self :)

  • Today's Photo Shoot… :)

    Miles after our run... I like the little drip on his tongue.

    The Ham Man

    Lexi always puts her head so gently and "just so" on her little foot. So cute! So delicate!

    I like how the light hits her little whiskers. :p

    So cute!! :o

    The 'sport' feature… I just like how she gently looks away- she is so expressive if you are paying attention... :rolleyes:

    Handsome little Miles :rolleyes:

    Lexi blanketed with sunshine… :) :p

  • Awww so cute, thank you for sharing

  • I know you have enjoyed training them. did you train them to "tell you"? how did you do that?

  • I got their favorite treat and make a hand gesture at the same time (signing is often more commanding for them than vocal commands). Whenever they made the slightest bit of noise, they got rewarded. If no noise came, I would massage their throat and make a noise myself. If still no noise, I would gently brush my hand over the sides of his mouth in towards the middle until he opened his mouth. Anyways, repeat, repeat, repeat… and you will see the result. :)

  • the pics and video are amazing. The other day my husband told me Champ jumped up and growled at some children. Of couse I already started thinking he's getting aggresive but after watching the video we realized he was singing.

    He is so cute. His coloring really is beautiful and obviously he is very smart - digging a cool hole to lie in is one of those things that just makes all the sense in the world!

    Our first Basenji, Seymour, yodeled a lot…sounded like a rooster crowing. Maxx rarely yodeled, but when he did, he sounded like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor from Home Improvements..."r-r-r-r."

    @Janneke: We're still in Sweden :D :D We're illegally using someones internet :D :D :eek: (this forum is addictive….) But the trip is great :D The show was very nice, lovely to see so many dogs I only 'know' from the pictures and talk to the people behind the dogs :). Tillo did good as well, he was placed 5th with an excellent in his class of 11, of which I believe 6 got an excellent. AND Tillo was nice to the judge :D Only running like crazy in the ring.... :rolleyes: And now I know how stupid you feel when you are in a show ring in a different country with different show rules and a language you really don't understand... And people just keep on talking to you in Swedish :D :D Ahh right I thought it was a bit soon for you to be back lol. Well done on Tillo's placement:D Ahh the language problem, it makes things interesting doesn't it;) Glad you are having a nice time, hope you have taken lots of piccies for us:D

    LOL - How great those pictures are! Of course we'll all be checking now to see if our B's will enjoy hammocks, slings, etc.! No, we don't baby them, not much.

    Try feeding them in their crates, we leave our crates open at meal time and while Duane is preparing they all go into their crates and stick their heads out and "talk" to him encouraging him to fix faster! Once food is in, doors are closed and locked so that everyone has a chance to eat in peace, only open when everyone is finished. so glad you resuced the boy.

    The first one is amazing! It's perfect, great lighting, detail, composition & color. It almost look like a photo realist illustration is so perfect. We got a design Jet printer at work and I blew up two dog pictures to 18X24 on photo paper. They turned out great. You should go to a kinko's printing place and do the same with thast one. They can also mount it on foam board. Last time I did it, it was about $20?
