Dandy's disapperance

Basenji Talk
  • Dandy was the male of our little Basenji family. In Nov. 1976 our house burned down:eek: and we moved 5 miles away from the farm. Dad left Dandy at the farm and we took Teakatu and Missy to the trailer house that we would stay in until we could start rebuilding in the spring. One night, someone pulled up to the barn and untied Dandy and stole Dad's tools and then gas out of the gas barrel. Dandy took off and when Dad went to the farm the next day, he couldn't find our missing B.:confused: Night after night when I would get home from school, I would ask Dad if Dandy came back yet and the answer was always no.:( One night when it was really cold outside, the girls started to act like they wanted to go outside. they would go to the door and then jump on the couch, back and forth like that about three times. Finally we opened the door to let them out and in walked Dandy, just as proud as he could be, with the look of see I knew I would find you.:D

  • aww that's a sad story at start but an awesome ending !!!! :)

    My dog had an adverse reaction to the Heartworm edible I gave her, do you possibly give one? if so is it maybe related to that? I had to switch brands and she still doesnt feel well for 1 to 2 days after I give it, but it is not as bad as the other brand. Her symptoms were changes in consistency and color and frequency of bowel movements, she didnt eat, and didnt want to be bothered. And she ate grass.

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    @Lenora: She had got up from her nap, gone into the bedroom and knocked the ironing board over on her head, all in the space of less than a minute! LOL. Bella almost beaned herself during Christmas. She jumped up on the hearth and tried to pull down one of the stockings. It was held up by a very heavy wrought iron stocking holder. I heard it hit the floor and came into find her with the stocking in her mouth. It must have just missed her by an inch or so. She had gone for 3 weeks with no interest in the stockings. Don't know why they managed to get her attention that particular day. I sure hope she calms down at least a little bit when she's older. :eek:

    My dogs do this all the time. Well, Lexi does anyway- she's the only one who can fit/balance on the back of the sofa. ;) ha! And she'll tap your head in a heartbeat if there's something you have that she wants! lol
