I may have solved the tissue issue…

Basenji Talk

  • I saw the comment about the dog stealing it from you. Medjai loves to try and get at human food, he has been known to jump the chair and try to take it from the fork and he even tried to take food from my roommates mouth. They really will do anything to get what they want.

    I know this is said with love in your heart, and it cracks me up. You are so right, they will snarf things I wouldn't touch with gloves on. And we all worry about what food we feed them? Geeze….......

  • That is so true! Although, thankfully Baroo is not as sneeky as some of your pups!


  • I know this is said with love in your heart, and it cracks me up. You are so right

    Yes, but They have the habit of burning unforgettable images in your head, like when or girl found a nest of live pinky baby birds that fell out of a nest in our back yard. Trying to save those babies as she ate them like gummy worms - ALIVE! It's just horrible, but is natures way.

    They are just too quick to get something away from them. Our dog has the habit of catching adult birds as well, kills them instantly.


  • Vicks Tissues…thats great! I get so tired fighting with our B over the tissue. I'll have to pick some up! I hope it works

    Now if only there was vicks TP. LOL
    It would be nice to be able to put the TP back where it belongs instead of ontop of the counter far away from our little guy. :)


  • My guys will dig the tissues out of my pants pockets while I am wearing them. I will be sitting on the couch at night with my B's snuggled up to me and a hand full of tissue in my pocket, cause like everyone else now I have a cold. Felt a little wiggle and look down an my B's got a mouthful of tissue pulled right out of my jean's pockets. Seems to even know which side their on.


  • While my previous beastie would grab tissues and napkins and such, EL D pretty much leaves them alone (:p). However, he does like to rip the handles off paper grocery bags and chew on them. Must be the glue or something.


  • Our B Trixie Does'nt Care So Much For Kleenex But God Forbid Your Leave A Bathroom Door Open Because You Won't Have A Shred Of Toilet Paper Left!! Oh And Also Paper Towel.

  • Our b Trixie does'nt care so much about kleenex but god forbid you leave the bathroom door open! My purchase of toilet paper has doubled since Trixie has joined the family! Oh and paper towel. Last week after spending hours cleaning the house I noticed my little friend was missing (its scary how they do that) I went into our bedroom and there she was with 2 rolls of papertowel. Shredded what a mess!! Trixie 5,000 Jeff And Ellen 0


  • What is it with tissues

    Kip has been great with furniture and everything else (apart from the odd shoe or slipper) but he is a demon with tissues, toilet tissue & kitchen roll

    Even if they are still wrapped up he finds them and destroys them


  • I think our dogs are trying to tell us they are lacking fiber in their diet in some shape or form.

    Kleenex (new and used), Paper Towels, Toilet paper, greeting cards, books (especially ones human toddlers have nibbled on first), cardboard boxes… what are they? Part woodchuck?!

    It's a very well-written article and I think it accurately describes the basenji's idiosyncrasies that we all know and love and that the average person would find frustrating. I think the take-home message for those who don't know basenjis is that they should educate themselves more before taking the "plunge". Personally, I was thrilled to see a b/w pictured. My only complaint is that the main cover dog wasn't a basenji!

    Its been two months which is not really a lot of time. I will add that there were some other issues and we have been sucessfull at correcting those. A great suggestion on them meeting outside in the morning. Definately worth a shot and I have some ideas already. Thanks!

    I think it should. Cairo seems to have adjusted with his teeth. I have noticed in the last day or so that when he is playing with Caesar and biting that Caesar is screaming less and participating. I think Cairo is putting the chewing to other uses now that he is beginning to learn to not bite so hard. Cairo was eating the towels at the bottom of his kennel so I switched to a weird material cusion for the kennel from Petsmart (shiny gray crate cusion) and he hasnt unstuffed it yet.
