Basenji Talk
  • Never kiss the dog's head after applying frontline.

    That had to taste really good ;)

    Never clean your bathroom before giving a Basenji a bath. You'll be sorry.

    Never clean your bathroom before giving a Basenji a bath. You'll be sorry.

    In most cases I would say that is a true statement, unless we are talking about my late Maggii… she was such a show dog... she loved the show ring... when I retired her for showing and she would see me taking towels out for baths... I would find her in the tub, waiting for her bath!!! While she didn't love the bath part, she knew it was part of showing.... and she loved to strut her stuff in the Breed ring....

  • Neat story Pat, first I have heard of a b going to the bath without trama!

  • I second Sharron's statement. wow.

  • Rally will hop into the kiddie pool at lure trials on command and stand while I get her wet to cool her off. She also will come into the shower if the slider isn't closed all the way and stand on the "dry" side and try to lick the water off you.

  • Zaire likes to be in the tub when I am taking a shower. We have a pretty large bathtub, so she can fit in the tub with me and keep away from the water.
    I don't let her in often, because heaven help me if the shower head gets bumped in my carelessness to wash myself. The second she gets water falling on her in the tub she tries to climb onto my shoulders (Not a pleasant experience with no clothes for her to claw at) :D

  • Never try and do the Whoopie with the dogs loose and the bedroom door open:o

    Just to bump away the troll/spammer:mad: Don't forget the Save-A-Vet organization when shopping on line for X-mas presents to fellow dog lovers. I just received my order and I can say I'm very pleased. Top quality. Love the tag line related to the dogs…."Land of the Free, Because of the Brave" http://www.save-a-vet.org/ (OP wizard) That picture is an OMG!!! Thanks wizard. How the hell do they train for something like that??:o

    @Robin_n_Jack: HA- Jack is a freak about toilet paper too. Our guests think we are crazy because we ask each one of them, as they return from the bathroom- did you close the door? But the best was when we had a guest visiting, and apparently her purse was not far enough back on the table. Jack pulled it down, pulled out a bottle of pills and proceeded to chew through the bottle. We got really worried, and there were three of us crawling around on the floor counting out these antibiotics, trying to figure out if he swallowed any. Nope, apparently, he chewed open the bottle, dumped out the contents, and proceeded to rip the bottle to shreds. He does the same thing with cigarettes, he will pull every cigarette out and put them in a little pile, sit on them, and destroy the box. My husband left a bottle of Tylenol one night on the bedside table, same thing happened to us! We went in and there was the bottle chewed up with pills everywhere! Trixie did not eat any of them!

    I just boarded Tiggy and Reggie for one night, Reggie has been boarded before and Tiggy and him were in the same suite. They both did great and they had no problems and had no issues noted on their cards.

    Caesar started doing this around 4yrs old, or I started noticing it then….the chewing licking air after dinner for a while? I massage his jaw at the back and it loosens the food. He was officially ready for a teeth cleaning (big bucks) at age 5 and probably had that problem all of his life. Teeth were all fine. Now, after dinner, he comes to me to rub the back area of his jaw to get the food out. He must feel a real difference now that his teeth are clean. I dont ever stick my fingers inside his mouth, just rub the outside and it is good enough. I feed Caesar Innova Evo and Natural Balance Duck and Potato back and forth.

    Yonae12, I see that you live in Florida now. Are the animals you mentioned in Florida or Sydney? I guess there are possums around these parts, but haven't seen them alive for a long time!
