Olimar and "friends"

  • lanemichelleandolimarL

    our roommates have two dogs. meli the jack russell and kahu the pitbull. olimar and meli seem to hit off quite well. they're pretty good friends… although i think meli is trying to teach olimar, to be more like her. our roommates don't treat her that well, which i believe makes her be the energetic terror, she is. olimar and kahu... well they play sometimes but recenlty kahu as been a bully to oli. today they were playing and kahu got a mega clamp lockdown bite on our little guy. olimar was crying, and i had to come rescue him. the pitbulls owner didn't even come and get his dog. what a trip! he didn't even say sorry! not to mention they like to abuse their dogs by hitting them, talk to them with a loud tone, and locking them in their cages all day. i feel really bad for them. i just hope olimar doesn't think that all dogs are like this.

    michelle and i take him everywhere we go. we don't leave him with the other two and their owners. we try to take him to the beach, parks, friends places. we don't want to be around their owners either, so it works out. it just sucks that he has to be around it. :C

    Well, bless your heart.
    But I am afraid this type of "rough" treatment can make this poor dog a problem, down the road.
    Why do they even have this dog?
    Status sic?

    Does your Basenji canter "true"?

    @Knipper: Cricket canters true on left and right lead. Her flying lead changes are stunning! I wish I could get those out of Ryley! Perry does nice flying changes too, and occasionally does a simple change through trot. He is certainly smoother and more consistent than most of my horses, who will throw in a disunited stride or two on occasion! :)

    It looks like "another spammer" hit 8-posts, all about 1-2 minutes apart with the same post on the same day… And where is "Array?" except on the internet? BaMicas mom

    She-Ra helps clean off the Peanut Butter knife (held so she won't cut herself (even though it's a butter knife I've heard stories)) when I'm done with it. Gonna have to try the mashed potato beater this Thanksgiving (it's her first…she's seen this big bird in the fridge but can't quite figure out what to do about it! :) ).

    Basenji seem to be the masters of the non-verbal put down. And I also agree with Basenji Boy's comment, reminds of that bumper sticker: the more I know of people, the better I like my dog. What is the correct plural of Basenji? 'Basenjis' or 'Basenji'? A Yodel of Besenjis?

    Are you kidding I can't get my Abby to stop. She does it everytime someone comes up the stairs from the basement or my husband will hold his arms out like he is going to grab her and she will tilt her ears all the way back and let out a big barooooooooooo!

    I used to say my dog was aggressive until I read this thread… Now I say it is more of a defensive mechanism for Buddi. Buddi doesn't like anyone or anything to approach him. He wants to smell and get to know them or it first. If someone new comes into the house I tell them not to acknowledge Buddi at first and then once he has finished getting to know them he will walk away. After that he is fine. But if someone walks in and puts their hand towards him he instantly turns into a very loud and shows aggressive behavior like he is going to attack. The theory has worked very well to date. With dogs it is a little different. He also doesnt like small dogs. The ones close to his size or larger we have never had a problem. Should I handle the situations in a different manner? Also he doesnt go to a doggie spa or day care so we make sure to go to the park and keep him socialized with dogs there and ones that he knows. We also have friends with young kids and he loves them. Has never growled or snipped at them. He LOVES to play!!!!
