Counting taisl I got 8 and 7.
The 12 Days of Christmas Bloopers - Basenji Style!
-
"I'm putting him in the stocking, 'cos he's all I really want, Mom…"
-
Yesterday's pix list finalists were:
"Look, Mom! His get up and go got up and went!" from Dawn
"Call 9-1-1!! I think he o d 'd on sugar cookies!" from Rose
"I guess I wore him out!!!" from Sue
"Mommmm, Indy ate ALL Santa's cookies and didn't even leave one for ME!" from Katy
"Hey! This is no time to rest! We gotta think up more mischief!!!" from Rea
"Now that Jigsaw has hypnotized Indy by rubbing his belly like a crocodile,
she can easily stuff him into his very own Christmas stocking." from Sam
"Too much candy." from Susan
""Look Mom, I pinned Indy! Where's my treat?" from Kevin and Amy
"He's asleep:) now it is mine…all mine!!!!" from Judy
and
"Jigsaw: "It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a wild women with a camera!"
Indy: "Oh the horror, the horror!" <he faints="">" from LindaToday's wardrobe selection was a little less than popular. Their basenji pride looks a bit shattered. Don't worry - they recovered quickly.
The 7th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!
</he> -
"Shameful Mom, utterly shameful…"
or
"Geez it sure is tiring being a reindog" -
Indy: "Does my nose look red and shiny in this?"
-
Yesterday's pix list captions included:
"O dear, are we meant to be a cross between a moose, a sheep, a bear and a reindeer????? What is she doing to us…. are we now basooses, or sheepbaaaaas, babearenjis or senjideers??? Let's think it over and have a good nap" from Annechien (my spell check is having a coronary)
"Indy: "Oooooooo, what was in that egg nog?" Jigsaw: " I don't know, but I'm going to stick with toilet water". from Rose
"Indy: "I can't believe she dressed us like this...and then took PICTURES"
Jigsaw: "Not only that, she sent them to all of her friends!!!" from Hank
"The dangers of dog club Christmas parties - it's all fun & games til someone ends up in a reindeer suit." from Jo Lynne
"Well, she's FINALLY lost it - she thinks we're reindeer!!!!!" from Sue
"Shut your eyes and pretend to sleep ? and as soon as she leaves, the cookie jar is ours!!" from Mike
"Jigsaw and Indy lulled into submission by their radio controlled vibrating
stereophonic red nosed reindeer head heaters." from Sam (WHERE do you come up with these things?!)
"Jigsaw: "Ok, I get the curly fawn coat color and the dark brown antlers representing Santa's reindeer but what's up with the Bindi?"
Indy: "'Shh, I'm channeling Mahtma Ghandi;come in Ghandi!" from Linda (ditto)
"Indy, with the Santa hat we got cookies like Santa eats. Do dogs with reindeer hats have to eat straw?" from J.R.
and, how could I NOT use this one:
""Definitely embarassing, but a small price we have to pay for having the best mom!" from Cathy (their breeder - ok, maybe she's biased!)Today, Jigsaw had had enough of Indy's shenanigans. (Note the foot at bottom of pic.) The 8th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!
-
"With all the sugar in those cookies, I'm off to do the B500!"
I just noticed that the stocking says "I've been a good dog…....for a basenji." Good call on that one Marie!

"With all the sugar in those cookies, I'm off to do the B500!"
I just noticed that the stocking says "I've been a good dog…....for a basenji." Good call on that one Marie!
OMG, you are right! Story: Many, many years ago when I had my first basenji, we went to an obedience class. The last night I believe we had some sort of "graduation test" type thing. A classmate told me "Oh, she did very well [pause], for a basenji." True.
so, the "for a basenji" is sort of a running joke around my house.
-
At my house, Jigsaw and Indy's behaviour is always being compared to my old shepherd mix, Sassy, who has been gone for a couple of years now. Sassy was known as "The Good Dog". That explains my addition to the stocking. The one that Indy's chewing on actually says "Spoiled".
-
Yesterday's pix list "finalists" were:
"Grab the end, Jigsaw, and I'll pull you up before the Roomba comes around again!" from Rose
"Jigsaw: PeeU Indy! You could knock over Santa you're so noxious. What is Mom feeding you?
Indy: The usual … elastic string, felt hats, stuffed stockings, pompoms, reindeer pelts from India, the backside of a fat old man's red pajamas ..." from Linda
"See that sign? I've really got her fooled, of course, she didn't see me chewing on this stocking!!!" from Sue
"Where are the goodies in that stocking?! Hey - come back, you sneaky thief!!!!" from Rea
"As the last Frito's Corn Chips "foot cookie" falls from his now empty
stocking, Indy tries to squeeze out any remaining crumbs with his bionic
jaws of steel." from Sam
"Why doesn't this darn megaphone work? I need to tell Santa what I want for Xmas." from J.R.
"Wait! What? I win! I win! Jigsaw ran away! Mwahahaha.." from Kevin and AmyToday, it might appear at first glance that Jigsaw has won the tug-o-war. What you can't see, though, is that Indy's got the pom pom in his mouth. The coveted prize. The 9th day of Christmas bloopers, basenji-style! Posting a bit later than normal 'cause I am now on Christmas holidays.
Thanks to the people on the forum who have been playing along and posting captions. Considering the pix list response I receive, I had expected this to be a bit more popular here than it's turned out to be, but I will finish it out since I see that folks are looking at them, anyway. It'd be more fun, though, if more of you would put up some captions!

oooppps! there goes the 'pull the puppy like a sled' idea-you done gone and broke it!!!!!!!!!!

Here are yesterday's finalists:
Santa (voice-over): Use the force, Luke .. er Indy.
Indy: HELLO? WHO'S THERE?
Santa (voice-over): Use the force, Indy. Force the hat to our side.
Indy: HUH?! WHAT?!
Santa (exasperatingly voiced-over): Oh, never mind.
Santa (voice-over): Use the force, Jigsaw (not sure where Linda comes up with this stuff!!)Jigsaw: No, it does NOT smell like chicken, Indy.
Indy: Well, ok, but it tastes like pom pom flavored chicken. Nyum nyum nyum from SamIndy "I've got him by the foot, you pull his hat off. Invisible? Ha! He didn't figure on Basenji XRay vision!" from Hank
Now for my next magic trick. My exotic, invisible cord and my intense concentration will pull my resisting, assistant, Indy, toward the enchanted hat.
&
Jigsaw, if we are going to do the Mexican Hat Dance, you have to put the hat on the floor! both from J.R. (I couldn't decide between these 2)Today, Indy can't BELIEVE that Jigsaw would actually fall asleep in the middle of the photo shoot. The 10th day of Christmas, basenji style!

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter.... "

"Jigsaw?"
Jigsaw: "Zzzzz...." from LindaOnly 2 days left! It's almost CHRISTMAS!! Today Indy demonstrates that one size does NOT fit all. This must be what it's like to dress an uncooperative toddler. The 11th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!

"Umm…..does this outfit make my butt look big??"

"Ok, now something is not right - yours fits and what the heck happened to mine?????????????" from Sue
and
Indy: "Does this outfit make me look fat?"

Indy: "The first fat."
Jigsaw: "Oh then, yes it does!" from - you guessed it - LindaTime flies - here we are at the end already. Today Indy seems to want the spotlight all for himself. Poor Jigsaw's going to go find herself a chair of her own! The 12th day of Christmas bloopers - basenji style!

As our finale and our Christmas card to everyone, here is the proof that in spite of all the bloopers, I still managed to get some good photos! Jigsaw and Indy deserve all the credit for really being very good - in their minds these photo sessions are just "fun" - with lots of treats and new "toys" to play with!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
