    Please bear in mind, we do not normally play nor allow this sort of play with our dogs, BUT….

    tonight Jazz was on my lap and Darren started making these silly jerky moves toward her to see what she would do, and in typical Jazz fashion she could not have looked more bored.
    Keoki, on the other hand, became intrigued from across the room, so Darren made a few moves toward him also. Keoki just watched with his ears perked up for a few seconds and then................ ATTACKED!!!!! :eek:

    It was not a mean attack; the dog was playing, but in a way that is way out of the norm for him with a human. Darren was so caught off guard and was laughing so hard he didn't really know what to do.

    Funny thing was, Keoki stopped as soon as I said, "Keoki, that's enough". :D

    That's the thing about dogs - they don't always know when you are teasing. Threatening behavior, even if only fake, can set some of them off into protection mode.

    Oh yeah…that looks like totally normal male basenji play in our house. We tease both boys (actually some of our girls like it too -- some don't!) into play. Especially Querk! He LOVES it....and he is very gentle, and he makes sounds that sound kind like aggression, put particular to him are play. He likes to get wrestled to the ground and comes up spinning and goofing around. He only has a few people that he feels comfortable enough to play with like that.

    Yes, Mojo is like that too Andrea. He loves to play with Auntie Sue at the shows. :) He can get a bit rough sometimes with others, but it is all in fun to him. And he has always been so gentle with puppies.

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    Funny how good training pays off and makes you proud of the little rascal. Family who've seen Duke in action when he was younger couldn't believe I got another one like him (Daisy). I am a so proud of Duke. Daisy is coming along OK, but we're still going thru all the training . . . it pay off big time.

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.
