• 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?


  • Gossy hasn't ever done that with her water bowl but has with her food dish.
    When she's hungry she'll nudge it and paw it until she can get it turned over then grabs it and THROWS it at me. 😃

    😃 😃 Too funny..


  • 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.


  • OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Here I was thinking I just might have the very smartest B in the world, and it all sounds like its just common B behavior :):):). Bugger…

    snorky 998,

    I read that thread, no she cant fix a sump pump, but, Im working on it 😃


  • 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!!
