    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

    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!

    @Robin_n_Jack: HA- Jack is a freak about toilet paper too. Our guests think we are crazy because we ask each one of them, as they return from the bathroom- did you close the door? But the best was when we had a guest visiting, and apparently her purse was not far enough back on the table. Jack pulled it down, pulled out a bottle of pills and proceeded to chew through the bottle. We got really worried, and there were three of us crawling around on the floor counting out these antibiotics, trying to figure out if he swallowed any. Nope, apparently, he chewed open the bottle, dumped out the contents, and proceeded to rip the bottle to shreds. He does the same thing with cigarettes, he will pull every cigarette out and put them in a little pile, sit on them, and destroy the box. My husband left a bottle of Tylenol one night on the bedside table, same thing happened to us! We went in and there was the bottle chewed up with pills everywhere! Trixie did not eat any of them!

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...
