    Nemo, I love that toy, did you get it online or in store..where oh where did you get it?

    I got it at the Dr. Fosters and Smith store but I don't see it on their website. Hopefully someone has seen it elsewhere online. Sorry! If go there again I can get you one. :D

    I was wrong! I found it. There are different versions and they had the birdhouse picture posted.

    Nemo, Thanks that is so sweet to offer, but I looked online and found it, at Foster and Smith, under "hide and seek toys", they have several versions, I am so getting one of them. Thanks for the tip.

    Good, I found it after you did. I'd suggest getting the replacement 3 pack too. I didn't but there is plenty of room in that tree trunk and it could easily fit 3 more in there for added fun!

    Great , I will do that, the more the merrier, right?

    Yep! The fun ends too fast with only three. But if you have small stuffed animals already they would work too. But the little squirrels are really cute and they also squeak! :D


  • Gossy isn't a stuffing-puller (unlike my two previous beasties) and she likes the biggest plush toys I can find – I brought home a large stuffed tiger I won at the state fair and she is always tring to get at it - I finally had to hide it on the top closet shelf. Generally the small toys she'll ignore.

    All mine have loved the hard rubber toys that hold kibble or other treats (kongs, busy buddies, etc.) and I've also hidden kibble in old torn-up plush toys - the kibble gets stuck in the fabric sometimes and gives them extra work. None of them have ever liked the smooth nyla bones.


  • LOVE that toy - am going to DrsFoster&Smith to get one for my girls - they will really like that since they love digging stuff out of other stuff.


  • Sunbeams and fallen leaves. Those are the only two constant toys for my kiddies. And they arent really toys

    Ah yes, leaves. Unfortunately Kananga is not a fan of leaves anymore, after walking across a sewer grate that was covered in leaves. He avoids them at all costs now. :D


  • Ours do well with treat balls.

    Most toys needs supervision, if you can get them interested in them to begin with (unless its something to be ripped apart).

    Mine like cat toys the best, but need supervision.

    Its a bird, its a plane, no its super basenji!


  • Love those photos, Barklessdog. :D


  • Super basenji - :D :D

    I just discovered a new toy/treat the other day at the doggie-care. They sell chunks of elk antlers – and wow did Gossy stick her nose in the bin and try to grab them all. They don't splinter and better than marrow bones in that they don't get gooey.


  • Well…. I thought Kongs were indestructible. Actually, this isn't his kong but it's made of the same exact material. Regardless, leave it to a Basenji to figure that one out. (Yes, that's his slobber on it :D )


  • I put a dab of butter inside his actual kong. His eyes lit up as soon as he caught the scent of the butter. He's too comical…. :D

    Yup - Tanza is correct. I have allergies to two of mine and don't have allergies to the other two - and 3 of my 4 are related. Oh and they definitely shed! Pat's recommendation of taking a t-shirt or towel with you and then sleeping with it is a great idea.

    Yes, they are "naturals" for basenji ownership. Admiration of your basenji's cleverness is a wonderful point of view!

    :) For the most part the only toys that hold up in my house are kongs, the "plush" toys made for dogs who destroy do last for a few weeks, but thats about it. I get the "mean kitty" and "mad cow" dolls for them every so often, and there are these wabba toys that you can get that are made from recycled firehose material. They all have fun chewing and chasing these toys. I have a couple of "tough dog" toys that are sorta like fabric frisbees, that have lasted for almost a year! the squeekers have since died in both of them, but the pups still like to tug them around, and have me throw them. I keep a lot of recreational bones and such available in the house, and some cow hooves which take them awhile to chew on. But its hard to find good bones for them because they can not be beef. If I get them without any marrow, or any meaty material than we can have them, but otherwise we have to steer clear because my Masi is allergic to beef. So when I get marrow bones, I actually take all the marrow out, and wash the bones before they get them. It's sorta sad really, she loves them so much! kim~
