    aw yes, Zip has done this before. But the pieces that came back up were from the handle of a canvas that belonged to our guest :eek:

    I have seen this before too! I think it was also a collar, but I don't think the dog waited that long before yacking it up. But they have eaten other things that seemed like they stayed in the stomach a long time before coming up. I guess it just doesn't break down enough to get passed into the intestines, and thankfully, gets ejected the way it came in. I have also seen them poop things out that they ate long ago…like bits of blanket...

    Haha. Such a fun breed :) See, if you owned a typical breed what ever would you have to talk about over dinner?

    This is why I take my B's collar off when he's inside. I'm too afraid that he'll try to do this.

    I'm glad Roo is ok though. Hopefully he recovers just fine.

    I'm sorry, I know Roo could've gotten very sick, but I found mysellf literally "LOL" during this part:

    …except for his rabies tag and the metal parts which he was chasing around the bathroom floor when we came in...

    I'm really glad he's okay…and thanks for the laugh

    I liked this quote:
    Of course we do not know if a recovered collar from the digestive system of a dog is excluded from that warranty.

    Glad Roo is OK! we have had things come back up several days afterh ingestion, though the dog had been eating and eliminating just fine. they have an amazing system!

    OMG…I'm literally LOL about the warranty thing too. Please tell me you WILL share this story with the manufacturer and inquire about the warrant. I'd love to hear their response.

    Hope Roo is feeling OK.

    I once sent a large mailing envelope full of destroyed Lupine collars back to them. I also included a picture of the dog and a letter from her. I soon received an envelope full of replacement collars. Their customer service is great.

    how weird. Nemo tried to eat off his martingale collar today. He only wears it when his leash is on. Luckily it is still usable.

    Glad to hear Roo is well.

    Thanks Nemo,

    We strongly suspect that the Vet or Vet Tech loosened his collar when they took it off before his Neuter. When the Vet Tech put his collar back on him, they neglected to check it for proper fit and we never thought about the possiblity that hit had been loosed, so we did not bother checking the fit.

    We bought Roo a new Red Martingale Collar the other day and I made sure it properly adjusted. I can just get about 2 fingers inside it. It does not hang down where the leash connects so we do not see anyway he can get any part of the collar in his mouth or lower Jaw. We have been watching him the last few days and we now believe it is a non-issue.

    What we did learn is that when we do take him to the Vet, we need to make sure his collar is properly adjusted when we pick him up. I am sure we would be much safer taking his collar off when we are home, but from what I see if the Martingale Collar is adjusted properly it's no longer a problem or concern.

    So we will chalk this experience up to owner error. Most likely it was mine for overlooking and not checking the collar after we picked Roo up from the Vet.

    Basenji for me or not ?

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!
