Ready to run?

    We finally got our fence complete a couple of days ago. Though dh finished the last bit while I was at work and got to watch them take their first sprint around the yard without me.

    So tonight the fur kids had another B over to run with them in the yard. The lady who bought the B after falling in love with zoe lives a couple blocks from me and we let her brindle "Dixie" run with zoe and chief. Dixie is 2 days younger then chief. They ran around for an hour then layed for awhile at our feet before they ran some more. Seeing 3 Bs running together was great. Hubby better watch out LOL I have been throwing hints at him about fostering. But so far no bites :(.

    Next time I need to get pics

    of course I'm comfortable

    Isn't it great to get an outstanding household task finished? And now you can spend your time letting b's run around without worry. Hope you all have fun and enjoy the new yard.

    My Basenjis are 6 and 3. We live in Florida and I usually run with them 1-2, sometimes 3 miles. My run is still just a trot for them, but I let them stop and sniff and potty whenever they need/want, and I just do squats while they do it :). On the 3-milers, I am sure to bring water or let them stop and drink at the beach which is the turn around point. I also wet them down before hand.

    We have a small yard but our dogs don't seem to mind. They do race around inside the house, will play outside too but prefer to be where ever we are.

    $2000.00 for astro turf!!! Wow! I've seen that short green carpet which looks like grass and that works really well. I don't think its called astro turf though since it is much shorter. You can find it at camping stores or even Home Depo. Its not really that expensive and it is easy to clean with a hose.

    Over thanksgiving last year, I went out of town for the week to visit my folks. The normal person that keeps my Basenjis was also out of town that week. My husband's sister volunteer to keep them. I tried to warn her of all the things she needed to put up and away. My guys are older and in a basenji proof house are ok left out (not crated) all day. She forgot to shut the bathroom door one day before work. She got home and they had gently pulled the TP from the holder and ran up and down the hallway making many trips folding the paper back and forth on itself. She didn't forget to shut the door again.:D They also took a whole box of facial tissue off the end table and shreded it. She said it looked like it had snowed in her living room.:p
