Oh dear god…

Basenji Talk

  • Glad all is okay now - I've been through some nasty illness with my previous beastie (not nearly as bad as you) and I know just what you mean about spinning and pooping! :D


  • Awwww ,,,,,,,,I feel your pain,,,,,,,,,I came home from work one day for a quick lunch break to let the kids out ( I had a million things going on at the high school I teach at and only had about 15 minutes to let them out to do their business). Well, as we all know, our B's sometimes have differnent agendas so – I open the door to the living room and smell the most ungodly smell on earth -- I was afraid,,,,,,VERY AFRIAD to see what was awaiting me,,,,,,,poo on the carpet, walls, in the vent next to the crate and worst of all on Dane!!! Not thinking ,,,I let him out to go outside and all through the living room, foyer back to the french door was poopy paw prints. It was either laugh or cry. I decided to laugh,,,,ok maybe not while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor and walls but later I laughed!.


  • We've had a rainy spell around these parts last few days and naturally I have a couple that think water will kill them. We found one of them decided to poop indoors and the wife and I where trying to decide which one was the culprit. I declared it was the big male Max, the wife said no, 'He's a move while you poop dog and this pile was neatly in one place…..it was Cleo.:rolleyes: :D

    Poop identifcation!:rolleyes:

    Yup!!! That move while you poop will call you out in a heart beat!! :D :D C3PO is a move & poop kinda guy…I don't get it :confused:

    TuckerVA-you're a good dad! And what you did was surely what he needed!


  • We call our DAne the traveling pooper!!


  • She-Ra's a moving pooper as well. Really funny on walks…she's kinda got this Charlie Chaplin-Duck waddle thing going. :)


  • That is how I know which one of my Bs went in the house….Sawyer is a "poop walker":rolleyes:

    Wyatt has stuck his little butt against the side of the wire crate twice when he was younger and had diarreah. It was everywhere. On the crate, on the wall, on the floor under the crate...What a mess! Inside his crate was clean though.


  • Tucker is a poop walker also. He's also a pee walker. Back when I first got him his first in-house pee was across as much of my sofa as possible. He got all 3 back cushions, all 3 seat cushions and managed to hit the crack between the chaise and sofa getting pee on the actual unremovable sofa material.

    Another funny shorty… I was running with Tucker one time and he typically waits until we stop to poop but apparently he really had to go so I'm running along not really paying attention and all the sudden the leash got tight (I run with a 29' recoil leash) so I immediately looked back for him just in time to see me jerk him around as the business was taking place. Ever heard of "Who flung pooh?". Tucker did, that's who. :)


  • i feel for you, we had a similar experience, it was every where on everything.

    This happened many times and we discovered our dog was allergic to wheat. We went to a Lamb & Rice hard food and he has been pretty good for the last several years.

    The worst was when he was a puppy he got worms, nothing like diarrhea mixed with angle hair past like wriggling live worms!!

    That is a sight I will never forget!

    we had a similar experience with our son, whom my wife was breast feeding. We ate at a mexican restaurant, then my wife fed our son. That night he had diarrhea so bad it filled his footy pajamas from his feet all the way up to the top of his back!


  • This entire thread is hysterical. (Sorry, Tucker…I guess it wasn't funny while cleaning up) I have tears in my eyes. Thanks for making me laugh! Glad to know he's doing well. I've been there quite a few times myself, but usually it's limited to the dining room rug. Can't wait to throw that sucker out...

    @dash: Thanks! We went right after X-mas. We ended up using someone from Craigslist. She was wonderful. I actually have 1 Basenji, 1 Beagle and currently 2 foster Basenjis. So it is a house full. Oh!!! I didn't see the date on your initial e-mail!!! A bit slow, I suppose….;). Oh well - for future reference.....:)

    I agree about making your entrance and exit as much of a non event as possible.
  • Oh, I forgot to crate you up?

    Thank you JoeyQ for getting this thread back on topic :) Not that puppy mill/responsible breeding isn't a good thread… :p and there might be one on this very forum. Nice to see so many Basenjis that go against (somewhat) the stereo-types. I feel lucky because Jenny was a 7 month old shelter dog - stray - and really must have had a good upbringing because she has always been very handle-able (one of my friends picked her up and stacked her show dog style the first time he met her) and really only fussed (like the dickens!) in the crate the first night or two. I would remind those who are having difficulty crating: your emotions are a factor in how your dog reacts and adapts. The stress of hearing their cries, and worse, often puts an owner on edge enough to subtly (and often not so subtly to most dogs) encourage the behavior. Earplugs help.:o

    I like Adams flea shampoo. It kills the buggers and leaves the animals hair soft. Haven't used it on my Basenji though, as we just haven't had fleas here for a few years.
