Dogs Trust open day

Basenji Talk
  • thunderbird8588T

    Today we went to the Dogs Trust open day in Merseyside with Malaika and Kwame.
    It was very well attended and hopefuly they have raised lots of money and rehomed some Dogs.
    We were realy pleased that Kwame was so sociable and he got plenty of practice being stroked and fussed by children which he needs.
    Malaika won a rosette in the prettiest bitch class and has promised to share her bag of goodies with Kwame.
    We were asked about the dogs almost constantly and Malaika did a few tricks for them. She also had a go at the fun agility, it was quite funny to see that she was so intent on following the piece of cheese up the ramp that she didn't appear to notice how high she was untill she got into the middle. She suddenly noticed and looked around as if to say OMG. She did well but wouldn't do the jumps, she couldn't see the point when you could just squeeze underneath.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    @renaultf1: I too have started using carabiners though (the real climbing ones that have the barrel lock on the outside…need the double protection with her!)...haven't seen her figure those out yet. At least I'm putting some of my old climbing equipment to use :D:D :rolleyes:! That's too funny. :D Give her time and she'll have sussed it!! ps hope this works. Trying to use Quotes but never done it before!! :o

    We have one of those spray heads on our shower that you can take off and use by hand. I get the water nice and warm, and even though Samantha isn't excited to jump in the tub, she's so good to just stand there and relax while I lather her up with doggie shampoo and rinse her off. I used to have to wrestle with my other B's to get them clean! I guess the old German saying: "All good things come in threes" is really true!
