Buttermilk lover

Basenji Talk
  • Sol and I were driving home from work yesterday– -I have a small truck and he sits up front next to me (he's very good about not being rowdy). I ran into one market, left the groceries in the cab with him, then ran into another market... you can probably guess what happpened.

    I am usually good about only leaving non-tasty things with him-- he's not usually terribly nosy. But the buttermilk carton smelled great! He pulled it out of the bag and had just punctured it as I arrived. He dropped it and tried to look innocent. I picked it up--- it looked like he hadn't gotten far-- then the milk spurted out the bottom.
    He was very hepful about cleanup, licking the seat. I was upset, but laughing at the same time. The scary moment was when I opened the door to pour out the buttermilk left in the carton and he jumped out of the truck.

    I was really glad I hadn't yelled at him, because he just stood there until I picked him up and put him back in the truck. He is so much more important than a little mess!!

    Anyway, the truck didn't even smell this morning. Note to self-- put groceries in the truck bed.

  • Yeah, leaving edible goodies in the car w/ a B unattended is just too tempting for them!

  • How funny!! Guess that buttermilk tasted good to Sol!! Glad your truck didn't stink!!

    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 have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.
