Crazy Drinking

Basenji Feeding

  • I was drinking my Orange/Pineapple juice and sat my glass down on side table when Jaycee got onto table and starting drinking my juice. Not sure if it's good for her so I took it away but she really wanted it badly.

    At least it was not wine but is this crazy or normal drinking juice.

  • Orange/Pineapple???:eek: That's just plain crazy!!

    Mine only drink Apple or Strawberry/Kiwi :D!!

    Cody doesn't do that, but Moe is a coffee thief. We have to be very careful where we place our cups.

    Oh tell me about it, Belle is a true little German and loves coffee:rolleyes:
    Mine love the smell of fruit juice, apple in particular.

    Otis got a hold of my coffe cup the other day and he got truly mad once I realized it and took it away…all I need is a B high on caffein..no, I don't think so..


  • I used to give my rw Ringo a coffee bean once in a while and he'd take it in the living room and drop it, roll on it like a cat does on catnip then eat it.


  • Hee Hee, Jaycee obviously wants to get her five a day.
    Benji loved tea and when he was ill and needed to eat i gave him his brew in the morning to get him going. After drinking the tea he would often eat. He was just like me realy, i cant eat in the morning and need a couple of brews to get me going.

    LOL, brews here in the US refer to beer. :)

    That is funny.

    Once, many moons ago, when my Westie, Bogus was a pup, he found a glass of whiskey one the rocks, it was sitting under the lawnchair my husband had been sitting at..he had to run to the loo. Well Bogus found this glass and licked every bit of it down and when my hubby got back he noticed Bogus licking the whiskey down, and bent down to taket he glass away from him and Bogus went nuts on him, teeth showing, saliva flying nuts on him. He clearly was of scottish descent..it was in his blood to enjoy a whiskey..LOL

    Too funny. It's hard for me to enjoy a glass of scotch every now and then, Kananga always tries to steal some. Although he has yet to overcome the strong alcohol smell.

    The Westie was in heaven over the smell..it was truly a sight to see, he was in heaven..he had just turned a year a few days before that, so I guess he thought he deserved it.


  • Milo has been known to help himself to my orange/pineapple juice too. He doesn't bother with coffee though.


  • Well Dan, maybe i did mean i have a couple of beers in the morning, lol

    That's what I thought. ;)


  • One time, I left Loki & Freya in the car while having a quick meeting before a road trip. Unfortunately, I had forgotten a 3/4-full 20-ounce latte in the cup holder. Loki generously helped himself to the whole thing! There was not a single drop left!!! And I really needed that caffeine jolt! Unsurprisingly, a 3 hour road trip with a B "bouncing off the walls" and diarrhea turned into a 4 hour ordeal.

    @Saving said in Anal Gland Health Diet Adjustment (ideas?): scavenging on walks has increased though and that's quite annoying. LOL, omgosh! The amount of food tossed on the ground is astounding! And doodle will grab it up before I have any idea it's there! I wish I had a picture of the day she pulled a (whole) bagel out of a bush!

    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

Is there proteinurea? For homemade, read DogAware and accompanying websites. Good luck!

    Thank you everybody so much! I appreciate all the info. I had some vanilla Breyer's all natural and gave my guy a taste of that... boy does he seem to think that's a great treat! Obviously, though I don't want that to be the only thing I do. I'm going to follow up with our vet on getting a draw for the full thyroid panel at hemopet once next pay check comes through. You were right he was only checked for T4. Thank again basenji forums! I was looking back at pics from when he was younger and weighed more. I think he's always been a bit taller than standard and had a little barrel chest. Used to call him a basenji bouncer at the dog park. He was all about playing with the labs, pits and other big dogs - probably because he knew he could outrun them if they ever got too rough. He's much more about slow walks with me and lap snuggles these days ❤

    I would find out what he scared of or what he dislikes about the car. Is it the car itself, the sensation of being closed in, the movement when the car is being driven? Then work on whatever the problem is, with food. As for food, I use raw duck and vegetables. And I hand-feed all meals, so I never have a problem with not eating/partially eating. I would also recommend hand-feeding for anyone who does have a dog with food issues. Shredded chicken is good (as long as he doesn't have any reactions). But that and some kibble isn't a balanced meal. You may wish to look into a vitamin supplement, specifically something that has a focus on omega 3 (since chicken is high in omega 6), Vitamin C & the B vitamins (because if all he's eating is chicken and kibble, where is his source of vitamin C and the B vitamins?), zinc & copper (same reasons). All the best. EDIT: I just realized this thread is a year old and was bumped by what is almost certainly a bot.
