    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @MacPack: I just gave out 3 nice new 12 inch bully sticks to 3 nice dogs. 1 each, right? Topper took his under the table to chew in peace, Ed left his to go and "dog" Topper and try and steal his. Meanwhile Nicky stole Ed's. We let Ed 'steal' the one Nicky had abandoned. Now Nicky went to 'dog' Topper, Ed grabbed hers again. I took it and tried to lure her away from Topper, she took it into the other room and left it, ran back to sit beside Topper and put her face next to his. The we repeated most of this adventure a couple of times. Ed left his to come and dog Nicky, who in turn is dogging Topper. …... 3 dogs, 3 bully sticks...only 1 dog actually gnawing away happily, 2 others grumbling and wanting the one they can't have. Topper, pack leader, often won't even chew them the first day, lets the kids soften them and then gets serious when they are about half eaten. Tonight he is 'da boss, chewing like a king while his pack sits and drools. Silly dogs, all they have to do is go into the other room and get the ones they left there. Anne in Tampa, MacPack LOL such little toddler babies, aren't they? :rolleyes: Don't you wish we could put their name on their treats so they don't get them mixed up?? Ha ha!! Sometimes it doesn't pay to give mine treats - they both want the other one - then we have an all out cat and mouse chase around the sofa. I guess it's their game - a bit annoying for me though. :(

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
