Ever just want to Pull your hair out?

  • And just to stick up for Kiya ;) …she might be acting out because she is confused. She may have peed and pooped because she was stressed out over being alone and out of the bedroom? I don't know what your usual routine for sleeping is...but it sounds like the routine was definitely different.

    That is totally true… she may have been really confused that she was not able to be on the bed with everyone else... and then being put out of the room totally, I am sure she was thinking... hey what's going on, I'm worried??? and not "hey what did I do wrong".....

  • I agree she might have been confused, since Chance was allowed to sleep with us last night and she was not. Usual routine is they both sleep on their beds and are allowed to jump on to our bed at 7:30 when it's time to get up.

    Looks like if we make an exception for Chance, Kiya has to be included as well. Funny that it does not work both ways. Chance can sleep on his bed and not need to jump up if Kiya is sleeping with us.

    Hopefully this will stop as she gets older. Chance was pretty persistent too, but then he mellowed out when he got older.

    Ditto! Persistance is in the genetic code for tris…they don't ever stop trying (tri-ing!) they just get craftier ;)

  • Tri Bitch, Tri Bitch, Tri Bitch… and your question was what?

    Well said, Pat. Vanessa, didn't you deliberately get a tri-ing girl, hahaha?
    Any B-girl is a handful, and add that Tri thing, ....now just hang on tight, you are in for a fun ride!

  • I think everyone agrees that the tri-ing's are just that. But what about the brindles? My brindle more than makes up for my tri-ing. I don't think he's ever done anything wrong. Is this normal or is Diggie just exceptional? (Okay, well, I know Diggie is exceptional, but are all the brindles so good?)

    Zaire is super sweet to me. She is actually really sweet to everyone, except the boys a couple times a day. She likes to let Charlie and my roommate's min-pin know who is in charge. But she is a cuddle bug and really loves to just sit with people. But she is SNEAKY. She will get herself into anything you don't want her to. And even when I catch her she just looks at me like "I don't know what you are talking about… you saw nothing here". It really is cute. I think dogs of any kind, but Basenjis more than most, teach you to have a great sense of humor about things. Like their ability to find that sock that you swear you put in the hamper behind a fully closed door. Or the newspaper, even though you remember putting it in the recycling bin in the pantry. :D

  • It is so nice to hear that those horror stories happen to others too! I had a hard week too. A girlfriend of mine came to stay home for a few days, Anuby ate one of her shoes and part of her handbag during the night, I then found that the collar of my red leather jacket (my favourite) had partly disappeared as well. Last Saturday morning I spent a solid half an hour cleaning pee and poo all over the floor, took her in the evening to friends who live next door to look after her for a few hours , I came back early to get her (worried): she had behaved perfectly, sitting on their knees all evening but when she saw me, she looked really happy and started vomitting all over their leather sofa and floor . So a bad week, coïncides with the end of efficiency of her DAP collar, so perhaps, it's back to anxiety performance! They are so sensitive, beautiful, clever but…what a handful, good one day and really bad another.

  • Not as good but maybe it will make you feel a bit better. I was at the park last night and one of our friends has a blue tick hound. Well Ed (the owner) knelt down to pet a smaller dog and Max (the hound) marked him…needless to say we were rolling on the ground laughing at him. Great friends huh?

  • At least I have my secret weapon….
    The water bottle.
    muahhhahaha
    All I have to do is point it at her and she runs.
    I got to the point where I have had to sleep with the darn thing. LOL

    LOL Anne, in my home town, the ONLY Jewish family owned Brooks clothing store. That was over 50 yrs ago. A couple of more families moved in when I was in high school, not in the clothing business.\ And yeah, Leora often has to explain, NO we really do NOT celebrate Christmas or Easter.

    Jylly, as I read your post the skies are now darkening again in my area (Il/WI border) Although we are not in a flood zone, the rains have also taken their toll on us. Not only is it a heck of a good wrestling match to get our male out to go pee, but our female is afraid of the wind/trees blowing!! Aarrggg. We had basement flooding earlier in the spring. What a mess. The city lines were not totally cleaned from the fall leaf drop, then the early spring thaw washed all the sand used for ice into the sewers as well. It came at the worst possible time. All of our living room and dining room furniture was in the basement as we were prepared for new carpet to be install the following weekend. here's the rain again, 3:58 pm Last Sunday, we had a gutter clog from the 3rd level down spout to the 2nd level gutter and the path of least resistance seems to be through the fascia into the house and in the the dining room through the ceiling. I also work for a school district (librarian) so I'm home for the summer. I think this is more nerve wracking!! I think I'd rather be at work being distracted than running downstairs, or staring at the dining room ceiling like a catatonic every time it rains!!!! Good luck on the basement situation. Here's hoping you stay high and dry:D
