Car watching

Basenji Talk
  • No hummingbirds here (bit cold and too far north!) but he does have a thing for pouncing on spiders and trying to catch bluebottles and bumble bees!

  • I would love to have humming birds, if it moves mine will chase it!

  • @caz:

    Yep, dead leaves, seaweed, bits of fluff, bunnies….. lol.

    He also does a meerkat pose if the grass is too long for him to see over. He'll stand stock still on his back legs just looking into the fields :D

    The meerkat pose…cool! Never seen mine do that.
    At Rocco's first show at Windsor, I had just got him stacked on the table for the judge to examine, when a low flying jumbo jet went directly overhead. He just stood there, motionless, apart from watching this plane. Everybody laughed, including the judge, and me!

    I've had to kit the kitchen windowsil out with vetbed, so they can wildlife watch/sunbathe in comfort. And you know all about Dora's love of car chasing!

  • I also have a showstory to share…

    Ochre is particularly interested in the birds too. What I had started to do was say, 'Is that the birds/birdies ???', to her, and she would stop whatever, to watch them fly around... Thats fine, until, I was at a show, just placed her on a table, she looked up, and stoopid me, says to her, "Is that the birdies", not thinking what I was saying, or more to the point, where I was... WELL, she freezes, up goes the head, and I CANNOT get her to do anything... I patiently wait, with the judge standing next to me, till the damn bird goes out of sight, stack her up, and the judge looks at me and says "I thought these were hounds not bird dogs !!!" I apologize to him, blushing madly, hes laughing, and Ochre goes on to win BOB :o:o:o

    Later I tell him what that was all about, still very red faced I might add...

  • Cody just likes watching whatever is outside: cars, people, animals, grass, wind, whatever. He doesn't even notice planes or helicopters anymore unless they are flying extremely low, but we live near Camp Lejeune, where they are a common occurrence.

  • And all this time I thought my Abbey was the only dog in the world that spotted helicopters and airplanes!! She sits down and watches till they're out of sight.

  • crystalncody nice pictures of Cody very handsome guy. I call that window studying.

  • I forgot to mention that Gossy will chase not only birds but also their shadows :)

  • Otis will chase seagulls when we are at the beach, not in the air though, he chases their shadows..silly dog.

  • Jaycee chases shadows of all kinds it must be because they do not chase her.

    I remembered that she gets car sick, so she will probably get bus sick too.

    I tried a harness too but got too complicated to undo and my dog kept chewing it. Gave that up and she lies in a transport cage that takes all the back of my car. Had no choice after one seat belt has been dammaged as well as whatever was in the car!. When she is in her "car home", she just goes to sleep or sits up and looks at the road, cars and other things she would like to run after (the back of my car has a large rear window so, plenty to look at during a long journey). No room left in my car but a good solution for my Basenji, when I open the door of her "car home", she waits until I have put the leash on and then jumps out, well attached. If I take her with me in a friend's car, she sits on the back seat quietly BUT no way, can I leave her alone in that car, she would destroy everything and pee on the seats !(from past experience, not much fun for my friends)

    I put Tayda and Lenny in a kennel in the backseat…. they seem to be pretty happy with it. They wouldn't sit still in a carseat.... also helps with the hair all over the seat issue.
  • Anybody watching…
