Serious thinking

    A few weeks ago, EL D tore up a stuffed toy I brought back from my trip to Poland – it had fallen off the shelf and I didn't notice. Of course I was P#$%&* at him because it was a special item, but then felt bad because you could see in his eyes that he didn't understand -- "it was on the floor and it looked just like my other toys".

    Anyway, the other day I was sitting in my den with EL D on my lap and suddenly he gets this really strange look and stares at my desk -- on which was the remains of the torn up toy. He stared and stared and stared and stared. It was quite clear what was going on in his mind -- "that looks like the new toy I tore up, what is it doing there?"

    Stupid dogs indeed - ha!

    @Kingsley1230: Thanks for all the input guys! I will definitely get Lilu trained before I bring in a new B. But in the mean time I will be looking for a place to adopt an adult B, I heard eldorado is great. Is this correct? I have 2 Eldorado basenjis and also their male that they imported from Finland. 2 I adopted as adult show dogs retirees. I couldn't be happier with my basenjis. They have wonderful termperaments and Eldorado is big on health testing. The sisters are super helpful and always willing to answer my silly questions. :D

    Thanks for all your help! As I mentioned previously, it was the trainer that said there may be some basenji in this dog. We had never heard of basenjis, so it's been interesting to learn more about them, whether or not she has any in her. Thanks again for your input!

    Although my DH gets yearly "puppy lust", my personal rule is "I don't take any basenji under 2". By 2, their brains have developed and their attention span is longer than a nanaosecond (where you are concerned). They still have plenty of youthful energy but are not uncontrollable maniacs bent on destruction. That said, I confess I get puppy-lust myself, they are just so cute and funny and adorable. That is how they live to adulthood! Anne in Tampa
