She climbs too!

    Do any of your dogs climb over the child gates and exercise pens that are supposed to keep them contained? I figured she would try to push them over but not climb them and get over!

    Baby gates? Those are just jungle gyms that are stationed all over the house for the humans to trip over! LOL! Yes, we have a climber too. Zahra taught her brother (a Puggle) how to lean his weight against the plastic one at the foot of the stairs so that it falls over. Resourceful little thing, isn't she?

    :D Funny C&Zsmom :D :D

    Don't have any gates here, but he climbs up and around my head when I'm on the computer. I end up wearing Basenji over the shoulder. If Duke had his way, he would stand on my head to get a better look out the window when I'm in this chair. It's comical especially when my son watches his acrobatics. :rolleyes:

    Baby gates are one aspect..I have a second Basenji-boy we nicknamed "monkey-boy." He can scale trees and wire fences (if, he chooses to not just jump the fence). No bird or squirrel knows safety in the trees in the backyard–he will climb the tree to reach them!

    Jill, Abbey loves to play computer. It all started when I got a new one. She wanted to climb up in my lap for a look. She was fascinated by the arrow until she discovered scrolling. The problem is my view of her rear end when she's standing in my lap. Thank goodness she gets tired of it in a few minutes!

    I had to bust a good laugh Lenora - I can picture it. Hard to navigate with that view, eh? <gggg>Thank you! :D</gggg>

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    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

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    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

    laugh Mine apparently JUST figured out she can do that this last weekend. =) I was so impressed. I think as long as your Basenji can get down safely, and isn't going to be tempted to hop over any fences… why not? Now if they actually catch one, just hope they don't bring it inside…
