Where did the cube of butter go?

Basenji Talk
  • I'm getting forgetful in my older years, but I was sure I set out a cube of butter for baking. Maybe not. Maybe I just thought about it and didn't actually do it. ((You will get like this one day, too!))

    Bailey, my year old Basenji, and the old Shep female were in my office being way too quiet. They usually don't pal around together. :confused: I stepped in the office and Basenji Bailey gobbled something down as fast as she could, and Kira was licking the rug. :confused: I couldn't figure out what they were eating?

    I looked all over the kitchen to see if something was missing - didn't see anything unusual.

    Later, I decided to take a cube of butter out of the refrig and set it aside before baking - then I noticed that the new box of butter had one cube missing.

    If you are a Basenji owner, you know the rest of this story!

  • Every dog I've ever taken care of loves butter.

    The elderly Jack Russell I used to pet sit considered a butter wrapper the best treat ever - he'd lick one clean. When he was near the end of his life, the only way his owner or I could get him to take pills was to put them in butter.

  • my dachshund Gus ate a whole 4 oz stick of butter once, boy did he get sick..I thought we would have to pump his stomach, but once he threw up…he felt like a new dog..
    Otis on the other hand ate 30+ cinnamon rolls, fresh out of the oven, they were still too hot for us to eat..not so much for him..
    We are currently painting our livingroom and my daughter just caught him drinking the pan, his whole nose, inside of his mouth and chin is a beautiful shade of "colorado sand"..d..n dog..

  • :D:D:D Naughty Bailey

  • Yummmmm, greasy slimy poop coming at you! LOL

    30 cinnamon rolls!!! :eek:

    Bailey didn't get sick and didn't even have runny pooh - she has a cast iron stomach.

    Oh wow, Otis was certainly hungry… :eek:

    Some dogs live to eat. :D

  • Vicki,
    I am glad she didn't get sick, the poop Gus had was unreal, never seen anything like it..
    Yes Otis is a junk food junkie..I guess since he eats raw, when he steals it better be good tasty, not so good for you food..

    Today Otis is not feeling hip at all, he wouldn'ty eat his breakfast and he just threw up twice on our nice newish dogbed…great..

    Poor baby, and it is his 9 mo old birthday today...

    Wizard, thats pretty much what I was hoping to hear. In regards to training, I meant along the lines of enforcing good behavior, like sitting down to have his leash taken off or waiting for a release to eat, not digging at the furniture. Stuff like that. I don't expect my roommate to "obedience train" my pup. Overall I have a lot of trust in him, we have lived together for 3 years and been friends for the past 7 years. Even if he doesn't have a vested interest in the dog, he has a pretty vested interest in our friendship. Khani, I think Jean is in South Africa right now, and I would prefer to have him stay home if possible. It looks like everything will work out. Also, Both Jean and Kyle spoke Highly of you and your dogs. Thanks again for the advice everyone

    You gotta love when your dog can be entertained by an almost free icecube for "ever", well until it melts at least. Otis hasn't figured that fun out yet, but our gloryfied mutt, Luna (she is a Schnoorkie…), she goes nuts. Unless you sneak the icecubes out of the freezer she will be climbing the freezerdoor trying to steal them from your glass, and it is not like we won't let her have any...but stealing them is more adventurous, I guess. Our little survivor pup... on a whole different note, my cat that I had ion the past, she would try to take them out of your glass of water...she hated getting wet, but it is like the icecubes were talking to her, she could not leave them alone...she had to get them out of that glass of water...and that too, was a funny sight. A cat whose head is completely soaked from all her rescue attempts.

    @felakuti: our felakuti goes barooooooo when he is very very happy. :) we decided to get that little female basenji at Debbie's Petland, the one with the 5 toes..We have named her Queen Nyahbinghi after a warrior queen of the 19th century in Uganda…her call name is Nyah. :) so now we have two lovedoveys. :) Good luck with your pup….. hopefully you got her for a reasonable price... I would be interested to know if AKC papers came with her... and what the breeding is, if available.... also would hope that with the time she spent in the Pet Store, this will show them that a Basenji is not a good business decision.....
