Does your dog do this?

Basenji Talk

  • Abby will dig in the back yard but she doesn't just dig she kind of stands on her head and digs! It's actually quite funny to watch!:D She does it when she digs in the house too! the other question I have is all of a sudden this year her tail has bushed out like a fox tail, are all B's tails like this?


  • Mine has always been the kind that "dig" on their heads…ggg but usually only in the house in their beds.... sometimes.. and this was a clue to Kristii's corn/oat allergy... that after eating she would run and dig like crazy.. standing on her head....

    And as far as her tail... how old is she? Depends on the breeding... some will bush out like a fox as they age... especially after being spayed/neutered... they seem to grow a longer/harder under coat...

    My Kristii on the other hand... has always since birth been our "hairless" girl... she never has much hair even when blowing coat... she will get blond hairs behind her ears but that is about it.. and never an undercoat....


  • Brando always digs on his head on the couch or on my bed…but usually that is his invitation to play to both Aaliyah and Ruby.

    Ditto. Nakura pops her head down and dig dig digs on the floor, sofa, bed. Sometimes she loses her balance and almost does a somersault! :) Her son, Trouper does the same but Chance and Benji don't do it as often. It is really funny to watch. :D

    A digging session usually ends up in a B500!!! :D


  • Gossy does the head thing - but only in the house in her blankets. And yes she can get so enthusiastic about it that she nearly topples over!


  • Tanza-Abby will be 3 on June 20th and she was just spayed about 6 months ago! We just noticed this spring when she blew her coat that her tail never went back down, it just stayed fluffy. It's fine that way I just didn't know if it was supposed to be that way or if it would go back.


  • the other thing she does when she is digging in the yard is I think she is digging for grubs! Yuk! She will dig for a while then she will bite the dirt and come up with a mouth full of grass and dirt and it's gross! :(


  • Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500.

    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

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.
