    For OJ's entire life, his favorite thing was stealing napkins off peoples laps…. now that made for good dinner conversations... and he was so quick.. most of the people didn't have a clue where/what happen to their napkins....

    that is soooo funny. and just typical.

    yep we keep our doors all shut… i figure the kitchen and living room and the boys bedroom and the basement are enough to "terrorize" . i came home the other day to SNOW all up and down the hall. son had left the bathroom door open and HANSEL (jonny NEVER gets stuff messy) had gotten in the trash(including his personal favorite-female products) and SNOWED the hallway with it. it was really really funny. when i got home there it was and he was SO proud. lol i yelled at my son to come look as he was in the basement, so hansel was unsupervised. son picked up real quick and i dont think he will forget to shut the door for a while. picking up trash is not his idea of fun. i should have taken a picture. next time i will. and there will be a next time. :)

    jonny b. and HAnsel, he's so hot right now

    Nala too…she's a stealthy thief...no one even knows it's happening until you hear her shredding it under the table...We warn people that they can't be "sophisticated" in our house - they leave the napkins on the table" LOL

    Great photograph! our bathroom doors have to be kept shut too, or Tilly is right in there.

    If you take her into the bathroom with you (because she cant be trusted on her own) she can also chew the crotch right out of your pants (without giving any indication of what she is doing) while you are in situ…. thats a difficult one to explain lol.

    My rw Ringo didn't steal dinner guest's napkins but he would just suddenly spring up in their lap and scare the crap out of them. Then we start laughing.

    Very funny! Poppy has only destroyed one practically new dog lead today.

    She only goes into the bathroom supervised.

    My husband's b/w met him at the front door when he came home from work with a trail of TP from the bathroom to the front door without breaking it. Pretty funny, I don't think I could have done that if I tried. They sure do love TP and Qtips, quite the basenji obsession

    :D:D:D only just seen this thread, it's so funny. Love the half toilet roll that was left, how considerate:D
    Benjis party trick would be to drag clothing from the laundry basket downstairs when we had guests, particularly undies. You then had to chase him red faced all around the house and wrestle them from his jaws. He also loved to make crotchless undies:o

    That is just to funny having to chase the dog with underware and guests. At least you had something to talk about that night that was different.

    I set up a schedule for my dog's and they always potty train quickly. I take the puppy outside first thing in the morning, after meals, after playing, after nap and right before bed. That usually works well. Of course, I have the luxury of working from home. But this should work for you on weekends.

    Yeah they do the whole 'omg my fur is all messed up' shake turn around 3 times then flop their furry butts down back in bed. I know about the super light sleeper thing. I too can wake up at the first sound of puking puppy and either throw a towel underneath them or try to get them to the bathroom in time so they can vomit in the sink. Once they get they get those ears going it's hard to stop!

    You'd need a huge litter box to keep a male B from missing the box and hitting the wall or floor around the box…unless you are talking about an enclosed one with a single entrance... Do they make them that big? My male is 28lbs and when he cuts loose on the sofa...it's a 4' line buy the time he's done. He likes to get ALL the cushions in one sitting. :)

    We've been leaving the crate door open. The worst thing he has done is during the night, he goes to the other dog's pillow, plops down, and the other poor dog gives up and moves somewhere else. We haven't heard a peep out of either of them all night, so we can sleep. Only problem is stepping on them if you don't know where they are! Right now we have two visiting dogs for a month - big female yellow (clueless) lab and a big blonde retriever mix. Buster thinks he can go up and nip their necks and he growls and snaps at them. I know I've read about this type of behavior on the other discussion boards. The thing is, for the first few days, they were getting along and playing. Now, Buster is getting a little more aggressive. Is this just part of the Basenji charm?:confused:

    Hey we had the same thing happen to us on this past Sat. We have taken Trixie for over a month one to two times per week. All of a sudden on Sat. Trixie got an attitude with a dog that was under our table and I had to scoop her up, she was trying to fight the dog and of course once that happened all the other dogs came over to see what was going on. I had Trixie picked up and we left quickly. She would not not stop making her lovely growling and devil noises. It scared a lot of people who were looking at me like what the HECK lady? I could not tell you what happened but we will be taking a little break from the dog park!!

    Hmm, didn't realize that she was just spayed, could be end result of surgery and healing… and in that case just a fluke... But keep and eye on it.. as sometimes when they are spay/neutered if the surgery is not done perfectly they have problems with peeing... and they are not able to control it on their own... for myself I have never had that problem with any of mine after spay/neutered, but I know of people that have.
