I think Oakley sees my point because he will look to the object my hand is touching…most often times at least..he never looks at my face for a cue of to acknowledge my words..if I throw something and tell him to go get it (and he doesn't see the throw)..it's impossible to direct him towards it..he's silly that way- no direction!
Dogs in Elk

Someone just brought this up on another Basenji list I am on. I remember this from when it happened; this has got to be the funniest Basenji story that I have ever read!! Some of you, I know, have read it, but for those who haven't, follow along with following thread. I'm not sure who put up this vegetable version, but this is well worth the read!

That is hilarious! I can picture it happening.

It truly is a very funny story!! Anne Verchick, the person were owned these dogs, used to be a BRAT member; I don't know where she is now.
This is a link that attests to the validity of the event: http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~solan/dogsinelk/validity.htm

Oh God, I remember the first time I read this, way back in 1999, when this was a listserv. I printed it off, so I could show it to people. I have it saved and still laugh uncontrollably when I read it! Thank god there are no elk in Iowa. It's hard enough to wrestle a piece of pizza away from my two, let alone a carcass.
