Bad day–> needed a laugh

Basenji Talk
  • Yesterday I had a very long and arduous day, I come home walk Oakley, feed him and get dinner going….I hadn't smiled all day and in walks Oakley ( right into a wall) because he stole the empty pasta box (my dinner) and got it stuck over his head...I didn't take a picture but it was definitely the comedic relief I needed. Thought I would share

  • The perfect way to come out of your doldrums! That must have been a picture for sure. He is a doll - bet he was embarrassed when you took the box off his head - they don't like to appear out of total control much. LOL

  • Definitely embarassed. At home I always pretend to be Oakley in a funny voice ( I'm nuts!) and I swear if he could talk it would be" ugh mom, nothing to look at here,just taking out the recycling"

    His gooberness is why I love him…always something to smile at

  • That's what makes this breed great. They are complete clowns, endless source of entertainment. :)

    AMEN!!!!! Would have had to stand with my legs close while laughing if I witnessed that one!!!! I am particularly fond of Uzie's 180 turn to let me know it is getting close to dinner time, then the 'Tissue Retrieve Game'. He promptly goes into the bathroom (the only time of day this is done….) brings out a used tissue, drops it in front of us while we are watching the 5pm news and love to have (me) get up, pick it up, and hope I turn to the kitchen to begin his dinner preparations...................

  • You can always count on them for that!!

  • Lol, i can just imagine it

  • We can always rely on Basenjis to lift our spirits!

  • Very true… He always seems to know just what I need.....but then again, there are times he seems to know just what I don't need!!! Lol

    Either way I laugh so that just goes to show I'm crazy about him

  • Basenjis are best! It is impossible for my husband and I to be around Kipawa and not smile or laugh. :) How wonderful that yours can lift your spirits as well!

    I recommend Isopropryl Alcohol if it is very bad. Avoid harsh chemicals unless necessary. Follow up though with waterless carwash. It works great on floors and helps protect the varnish surface and the woo d from scratching and drying.

    thanks all!! Jenson and Kalusha both have a "rest-day" today, jenson was very active in the woods the last couple of days, so his limping got a bit worse, and Kalusha was totaly confused yesterday, so time out for one day for them both! @curlytails: That's also very chilling to hear about the Ibizans getting stolen. I hate to wonder about the kind of black market that deals in stolen pedigree dogs. I imagine the burglars targeted the breeder specifically for her dogs? Seems like your everyday thief would find it too difficult to make off with live loot! well the "raterno's"that were also stolen is not even an official recognized dog, only in spain they are recognized as far as I know, and the Ibizans are not of high value there as well as they are quite common type of dog, ofcourse the pedigreed ibizans are rare, even in spain, but they did not steel the pedigrees with them, so we have really no clue why they have been stolen and it really looks like they knew what they were after because they targeted this breeder indeed. It makes it even worse that these 2 male ibizans were from their last litter, they are older people and did not want to breed anymore and now these last pups are stolen :(

    @Gooby: Goober stole all the other dog's breakfast and dinner yesterday now he won't eat his dinner, has diarrhea and just threw up. We know he is very sensitive to his food so could this cause it? Also he had a new brand of wet food yesterday. And this is another good reason for feeding it crates and taking the food away when you let them out

    I too have flown with a pup in a Sherpa… one thing, be sure that they have a not been fed right before... and also the longer you can keep the pup awake, the more likely they will sleep the entire time. I kept the pup up and playing for at least 3 hours before the flight... and I do mean playing hard.. (I was pretty tired too...)I also did a 5+ hour flight, no accidents. But a friend of mine had a great idea... and it does work, take along some puppy wee/wee pads... you can go into the bathroom, put down the pad on the floor and let the little one go... however with as short of a flight you are doing, I doubt it will be necessary....
