Jack & Brownies Drama….

Basenji Talk
  • SO…Dh and I put Aiden to bed and decided to shower. I had made an 8x8 dish of Betty Brownies and we had eaten about half of it (with help from guests) but hubby brought it upstairs for a late night snack and didnt close our door tight enough before we got in the shower (Jack can open our door no problem unless it clicks). When we came out, DH found the empty dish!!!:eek: "Great, Im calling the vet!!" well the vet told us to give jack 3 teaspoons of Peroxide and wait 15 minutes and it will make him throw up. So we did...poor Jacker made that "smile" face (i call it) and threw up...alot! poor guy, he kept gaging...i felt bad, We've all been there, puking is rough!! I had NO idea Peroxide worked SO well!!!
    He's all better now, sleeping LOL guess it wore him out. He'll think twice before he eats chocolate again! Its not soo good the second time around...but knowing Jack, I wouldnt bet on it....:rolleyes: All is well though, but it gave us a scare and an interesting way to finish off our lovely evening!!

  • I am glad your dog is ok, that is scary! Thats funny you mention the "smile" face, I noticed that too. One morning Tosca and I were just laying around and I fed her a piece of food. She ate it, then made this weird face, I could have sworn she was smiling. Here I thought she maybe liked her food, but sure enough, a second later she was making puking noises. So much thinking it was a genuine smile…lol!

  • I am so sorry you guys had to go through that, I would have been freaking out. Isn't having a B like having another child, you have to watch every move sometimes. haha!!!!! I am so funny about eating chocolate around Sahara, my hubby loves chocolate (not me) and when he leaves candy papers on the table beside his chair I have a fit. I mean get with it, you know Sahara is going to grab those papers, haha!!!! Anyways, I am so glad Jack is OK, poor baby. I think he deserves a good treat today!!!!

  • Poor baby! That's what he gets for stealing those brownies - LOL!
    My friend keeps a "kit" ready at all times to make her Bichon vomit. The little stinker, "Annabelle" eats chocolate any chance she gets!!

  • Poor Baby! I did not know peroxide would make them throw up. Good thing to know since our little baby also likes to get into everything! Glad he is feeling better!

    Thanks for checking with basenji people regarding suitability of basenjis as therapy dogs! While I have known of a couple who were used as therapy dogs, as a rescue volunteer, I've also taken in basenjis from families relinquishing them out of fear for the safety of their special needs children. Either seek an adult (over two years old) with the right personality or a carefully bred pup whose parents have the right personality. For the pup, correct early training is very important. Through my volunteer activities, I have had many opportunities to see the results of less than ideal early training. I hope they are successful in finding the right dog for their family.
  • Yeah!!! Jack Is Home!!!

    @tanza: Right now the top winning dogs are Tris… Klassy and Blade (think that is his call name...) good point Pat…it wasn't really a few years ago! Tris have been doing great ever since Tootsie's career really took off. I was thinking back to Toots instead of thinking of who is out there right now.

    I am so glad I read this. We are having eating problems too but after reading your replies I know this issue is probably stress and hopefully will stop. Our two basenji's (3&4) have always had a pretty structured eating schedule. The boys the 4 yr old and our old elkhound have always ate together since the basenji came to us at 6 mo. The girl eats next. It has worked great for years. Our elkie went to doggy heaven this week, he was 14 and was greatly afflicted with renal and liver failure. The b's don't seem to look for him or miss him till its supper time. Our boy doesn't seem to be able to eat alone without his buddy even though we are with him. I know that a restructure of eating habits is needed and the b's will eat together now and hopefully that should resolve our issues of the moment. And as I have learned owning B's there can be alot of issues of the moment with them

    @Barklessdog: We got our dogs a little bed for the family room for christmas and I snapped a couple of pics of our Tri. The other dog came over and.. [image: basketcase.jpg] She heeded the warning and went away while I kept playing with him, no scuffle. A child is going to have know theses signs as well. This is how Tyler looks when he has settled in to sleep and Zoey wants to come in an "nest" before she settles. Zoey has learned to heed the warning also and doesn't disturb Ty when he's already settled.

    Wyatt will ignore all of his toys for a small water bottle with rocks in it. I wish I would have known that before I bought a bunch of toys for him. :o
