Killer dog

    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.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Travelling with a dog?

    If you ship him underneath in cargo, don't forget there are temperature restrictions. Where would you transfer planes at? This summer has been hot in many cities! Please check the requirements for the airline you will be traveling on. There is usually a limit to the number of dogs allowed on board and in cargo. You will need to make a reservation for him at the time you make your own. There may be additional requirements since you are coming from Canada, you will need to check with the USDA, the CDC and the State of Massachusetts. You can find the requirements on the USDA website and it has links to each state. http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/pet_travel/pet_travel.shtml You need to make sure the carrier will fit under the seat so if the carrier you are considering is much larger than the large size Sherpa brand bag I doubt it will fit under the seat. I used to travel with Arnie onboard about 10 years ago before 9/11. I trained him to get in and out of the Sherpa bag and to stay in for short periods of time. He almost always laid down in it. He never made noise even when we were in first class and they served food! Most people did not even know I had a dog. I also made sure I was comfortable carrying him in the bag. I figured if the airline employees thought I was struggling with him then he was too heavy and he would not be let on the plane. He was an older pup but weighed about 18-20 lbs. Jennifer

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!
