AAGH! My mini blinds!

[sarahlorrain]

I would probably shut the door to my bedroom if I had a door on it. (It had a pane of glass in in and one of the kids slammed it too hard one day.) I hate leaving her in a cage at any time during the day, but it's never longer than 2-3 hours. I stay at home with the kids, so it's not 8 hours straight or anything. She sleeps in it at night. That's why I bought the biggest one they had.
According to the box, it's recommended for Huskies and dogs of that size so I figured it would be OK. I usually put a rawhide chew or something in there so she doesn't get too bored.

sorry, but what is a "mini blind"?

You know, window coverings –- small vinyl horizontal slats. Very inexpensive and easy to ruin. Here's a pic.

And Basenjis do that SO well…. ruin mini blinds

[soulmate]

aaaha, now I see. Thanx for explaining.

I had the same problem, we had them out of Aluminium and the dogs managed to bend the ends so they looked like a comb….

LOL … oooooooooooooh my ... LOL

We have sheers on our windows. What for I don't know ... if Bisa can get to one [some are high on the wall and doesn't go there] she does and heaven help the sheers! LOL

[snorky998]

Good luck Sanuye!! I have found window sheers are just another version of basenji toilet paper/kleenex when it comes to play things.

Zahra ruined the blinds in my living room and I just recently replaced them with Roman shades that were on sale at J.C. Penney. So far so good, she is able to get under or around them without destorying them.

Blinds, dinning room chair, 3 tv remotes, 1 Nintendo DS, corner of the couch, comic books, and my glasses. Also she walk poops!

[Sanuye_Zonta]

So far she has not torn them down but you can tell the sheers have been 'fooled with' by the threads being 'misplaced' in them. So far so good with her NOT tearing them … Time will tell though. She has been with us eight months and only in the past month has she REALLY begun to show the Basenji traits ... LOL ... now that she is comfy here.

LOL … what a dog! Gotta love 'em!!
