Basenji New Year's Resolutions

Basenji Talk
  • As some of you may know, Abbey turned the Big 3 on Christmas Day. She has made a few resolutions for 2007 which I think reflect her new maturity. (1.) I will not kiss any more kitties even if they are my cousin, because my nose is still sore from last time. (2.) If given a choice between a bath and going out in the rain, I will choose the rain if I have to tinkle really bad, and going out in the rain may actually delay having to get a bath. (3.) I will not get up from a nap when my mom is taking a shower and knock the ironing board over on my head. (4.) This year I resolve to eat healthier. No more bath sponges, bath scrubbies, socks, catalogs, leaves off the airplane plant, or my Santa's nose. (5.) When my mom has Important Visitors I will not excuse myself from the room and return carrying a bra. This causes my mom to make very loud noises which hurt my ears and makes me ashamed of my little joke for nearly a whole minute. Happy New Year from Abbey and Lenora!

  • Love n°5, what a laught :D , I would have love to see the scene :eek:

  • That is so funny! haha!

    Max learned how to open the drawer to my nightstand years ago. I would much rather he had come running out carrying a bra than the string of condom packages he carried out into the living room one time…...... and he ran around the room with it looking so proud......I was mortified.....Needless to say, I got a new bedroom set with a nightstand drawer he was not able to open....

  • That is so funny! Rotflol. :D Abbey sounds like a handful. ;)

  • This is so funny! A bra and condoms:D Now I know I am not alone. Cali's new year resolution is to not get into my bathroom vanity and come running out(when I have the cable man over) with one of my monthly female items wrapped in the package and plopping it in front of any visitors. He thought it was hilarious, but I did not think it was funny:eek: Why couldnt she have just gotten a roll of toilet paper:confused: This was one of my most embarrassing moments of 2006. Cali is no longer allowed in the bathroom since she has learned how to open the cabinets and reach the bottom shelves.

    Now that's funny.:eek: :eek: :eek: Senji's have sharp teeth, watch out for pin holes.:eek: :eek: :D

  • I was thinking the same thing as Basenji Boy! It might not be the Happiest of New Years, if that wasn't in the plan!
    Great resolutions…my face is hurting from laughing so loud!

  • My face too is hurting!!!! Hey tlbuddy…at least it was in the wrapper and not used!!! Joey is famous for dragging used, you know whats, about the house with or without guests present!

  • Here's one for ya…
    I promise not to dig through the dirty hamper and pull out only your expensive underwear and shred them to little pieces.

    I now keep my hamper WAY out of reach!

    Squiggy promises also to not eat any of my retainers anymore. A $200 dog treat that was not funny.

  • My hamper is in the closet and I ALWAYS have to keep it closed… I learned from my first B... if you value your undergarments and personal dignity you'll put all trash cans and hampers in a closet or behind a closed door if you don't like them displayed all about the house...

  • 1.) I will not eat the power cord to the computer
    2.) I will not eat the power cord to the computer
    3.) I will not eat the power cord to the computer
    4.) I will stop tricking Mom into thinking that I am still asleep, letting her let me sleep while she takes a shower and then I wake up and pee on the bed
    5.) Oh, did I mention that I will not eat the power cord to the computer so that Mom can still e-mail / communicate with Dad who is deployed and so she can also chat on the Basenji Forum about me?
    6.) I will try to "stay", and work on "down" for my training class even though I am the Princess and I bow and answer to no one.

    Love,
    Zahra

  • Has Zahra been comparing resolutions with C3??? :)

    C3
    1)I will not eat the power cord to the sandwich maker (this is Dad's favorite toy & his only means of preparing food when mom's not around)…I will NOT eat the cord to the sandwich maker.
    2)I will not eat the power cord to the computer camera (this is the only way mom & dad can watch us from work).
    3)I will not eat the pretty x-mas cards on the wall.
    4)I will not act like a termite & eat mom's tables & chairs
    4)I will not pull like on my walks with mom like I'm Santa's ex-reindeer :)

    Topaz

    1. I will pretend I'm a DOG even tho I know I'm a cat
    2. I will pretend to LIKE to go outside altho like most cats I prefer the indoors
    3. I will pretend to LIKE to play altho like most cats I prefer to sleep
    4. I will not act like a termite & eat mom's tables & chairs (even tho C3 makes me do it :) )

    C3 & Topaz!

  • LOL regarding Topaz and his resolutions. Ditto for Joey except #4, but, SHHHHHHHHHHH, don't let Joey in on that one please!!! I will replace that with 4) I will pretend to LIKE to take baths even tho most cats don't care for them.

  • LOL at these resolutions!!!
    Stormie would like to add:
    1. I will not eat cat litter crunchies and then try to give the hooMom a smooch.
    2. I will try hard not to pounce the cats.
    3. I will not take the hooMom on any more "mud slides" - this puts her in a grumpy mood for some reason! :D
    4. I will not roll in any more deer/duck/rabbit droppings (or eat them either) - Ok, so I'm fibbing here! ;)
    5. I will not go gremlin hunting in the sofa anymore - this makes hooMom shreik when she finds the holes in the cushions!
    6. I will not counter surf for hooman vittles anymore - OK, I'm fibbing again! :)

    I should probably get my own username on this forum, so I'm not continuing to write about my own undergarments & such under my boyfriend's name…
    My boyfriend's basenji mix loves dirty clothes. Andrew used to have two female roommates, and Bandit would pull their dirty undergarments out, chew the crotches out and leave crotchless panties lieing around in embarassing places. I felt so sorry for them! Another time, he ate the hems off of Andrew's pantlegs. We came home one evening to find something sticking out of Bandit's butt. Upon further investigation, Andrew ended up pulling out two 6" pieces of pant hems from Bandit's rearend.
    Bandit also loved to dig through Andrew's roommates' bathroom garbage & pull out the really nasty items and eat those. Many a small string has been found dangling from his mouth while trash is strewn about the bathroom floor... Yuck!

    That good news, Dennis - and you are likely to find, in the long run, that the older boy will teach the pups far more than you ever can. They'll get their street cred from him !
  • I have ''issues'' with my basenji, can you help ?

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    Totally agree with Pat. I have two intact female B's. They are NOT the best of friends and have to be watched constantly. They are never alone together. Yes, they've gotten into knock-down drag-out fights. I've been in the ring with slit throats, chewed up ears, scabs, etc. Not a good idea at all. I can control it simply because I watch them constantly and when they start to show signs of aggression, one goes into the crate. But it's not easy, it's stressful on everyone, and I really don't recommend it.

    My parents have a mutt mix with bernese mountain dog. Every time I go to their house and let Medjai out in the back yard, he growls and snaps at him. Medjai quickly warms up and I would simply recommend that you get the dogs outside, on leash in the front yard to meet the B. It's part of the neutral ground thing. Medjai simply tries to take control right away.

    @spitfirekrl1: He doesn't seem to mind much he pretty much ignores it except when she pins him and he ends up on his back. Then he'll start snapping at her face which doesn't seem to steer her away from her objective (we have no idea what that is at this point). When she pins him she wants submission. She wants him to not struggle and nip and he should calm before she lets him go. Momma dogs do this to their puppies, it is part of puppy education. They do it most to the puppies that are the most pushy usually. In our last litter, Zeke always expected to get his way and he was the one who was pinned by both mom and Rio the most. He learned that by submitting he was allowed to go back to play. When he crossed the line, by playing too rough or invading the adults personal space he was pinned. He learned the limits to play and how to behave appropriately with adults from this. The other pups would get the same treatment but less because they didn't push those boundaries as much.
