A day of firsts…

    Day three with Cricket:
    Cricket had her first walk with us. It was short, cold, and windy.
    She tried her first rabbit poop… she likes it...
    She killed her first stuffy. It was a fuzzy heart that had "Puppy Love" written on it.
    And she just outsmarted me with my own training technique.
    Yes, I have fallen prey to the old bait and switch. I was lying all cuddled up on couch with my trusty Kleenix (watching a sappy show). She approaches me with the carcus of her stuffy kill and big brown puppy eyes. I petted her, then grabbed her stuffy.

    She grabbed my kleenix and ran!

    I was completely duped! and she was SO proud of herself! :rolleyes:

    Next Tuesday is my first day at a new job. I will be a municipal budget analyst, so I'm sure I'll be introduced to almost everybody from all of the departments. How do some of you handle "first days?" Should I thank my new boss for giving me the job? (HR gave me the job offer, so I haven't spoken with him since the interview) How would you word that? What are some good first day first impression tips?

    HA! Kleenexes and paper towels are the Holy Grail to a basenji. They will resort to anything to get one.

    I watched a show on TV a few days back, and this girl was addicted to eating toilet paper. I bet basenjis would love to meet her. :)

    (no disrespect intended to the girl).

    As a reference when we brought C-Me, Franie, and Trip home… that was three baby puppies (9 and 11 weeks) that we had to take out of their carrier, ggggg... and it was exciting to say the lest. But we did just fine!!! I do remember one time that when I was flying from NY to SFO, there was a person with a cat in a carrier that was not concerned at all that the cat was going to go through the xray... I did tell her that she needed to remove the cat, her response was "why"... my answer.. "and would you go through that?"

    My Basenji would never be able to do it. She loves to swim, but isn't that nice with other dogs. My Husky mix would totally love it though. :) We'd have to use a crane to get him back out. I have a "doggy swim day" almost everyday. The shelter I work with built a lake out back, and on the hot days we let all the dogs go play in it.
