Bone burying

Basenji Talk
  • Today I gave EL D a pizzle stick as a special Sunday treat. He's had them before but this time after chewing/eating about 1/3 he got kind of excited and wanted to go outside with it. So I let him out and he prances around with it until he finally found a spot to bury it in (about 10 inches of snow bank). This is the first time he's ever buried anything! And I wonder now if I'm going to have any garden come this next summer :p

    But then after maybe an hour he wants to go back outside and heads straight for the burial and digs it up and comes back inside with it. I guess he just wanted to chill it before finishing it off! :)

  • Don't you put things you can't finish back in the 'fridge? He is just being a good boy!

    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    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?

    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 also thought of the heart worm pill iverheart and the frontline for fleas and ticks. would that bother them? i gave them the flea /tick over a week ago and the heart worm on the first…. other than that, they are pretty well watched 24/7. not a lot of chance to get into something. weird. i grew up with german shepherds. they were outside dogs, and very low maintenance. but so very loyal and independent. so this is very different. just want our babies to feel great and be happy!

    my dog loves Bully Sticks. I usually buy the ones made by Red Barn. Here's a link: http://www.redbarninc.com/c-11-bully-sticks.aspx I only buy the 12" or larger variety. As soon as the stick is chewed down to about 3", I throw it out. another long lasting one is a filled hoof, by the same company. http://www.redbarninc.com/c-23-filled-hooves.aspx warning - these stink!!!
