My Very Clever Girl…

That story reminds me of something our girl did when she was a pup ( which was 17 years ago ) . Seshie was probably about 6 months old at the time . I was in the Living Room doing something I thought was important and heard a scuffling sound in the kitchen . I ignored it - not always a wise thing for a basenji owner to do . I heard the sound again and called for Seshie , but didn't go check it out . More scuffling . Just as I was about to get up , here she comes trotting into the living room with her water bowl in her mouth . She prances over to the couch , throws the bowl at my feet , sits down and looks up at me like " I believe you are being remiss in your duties Mom.Get with the program " I couldn't believe it !! From that point on , any time we heard the bowls being pushed around we knew we needed to fill the water . How smart are these little boogers ??!!!

Mine do something similar. Except for the empty thing. Low or dirty water warrants the same response. Nothing better than mopping up because there was a piece of kibble floating in their otherwise pristine water.
They'll roll in cow feces, but won't eat soggy kibble?

Ours also nudge their bowls when they want more water. We have 2 bowls with water at all times, one on the first floor and one on the thrid floor. We have a front porch off teh second floor that they love to lie in the sun on and when the weather is right we will put a bowl there as well. Since a couple are on hard tile floors they make a huge racket when they are shoved around. They will even pick them up and move them so they slam down and I think they might break. We have found the bowl several feet away when we did not come in time.

Basenjis will never be able fix a sump pump…. they need opposable digits.

Hahahaha!!!!!

The way those little feet can grasp and manipulate things, it's almost as if they do have a psuedo thumb (like pandas).:)
Opposable thumbs are often related to species that are considered to have a higher order of thinking. Those of us here that have ever said "How the h*** did the dog(s) do that!!" may secretly think they just hide their thumbs till we're not looking :D.
Higher order of thinking? Who knows. Prankster order of thinking? Absolutely!!
