Dog escape

Basenji Talk
  • :eek: Well this weekend we went to stay with some family out in the suburbs and my B loved it. They have a huge back yard to play in and the kids love him. Well one of the kids left the gate opened and when I heard our B escaped, I rushed out to grab him and then I heard a yell from my niece that he had crosses the street and ran into someone's opened front door. :eek: I couldn't believe it, I rushed in and there he was strolling through the house like owned that place. I scooped him up and gave thousands of apologies. I'm just thankful a car did not come and also glad he did not nip anyone. Believe me those kids got an earful. If you love your furry cousin, you better make sure the gate is locked. Needless to say that the rest of the day I was all eyes on the B. Funny story though now that all is O.K.:cool:

  • We'd had Keoki for one day before he found a space in the gate that he could squeeze through. I had just told my 16 yo daughter that he'd found it, and I was going in the house, so she needed to watch extra carefully and keep him away from that part of the yard.

    Within five minutes the yells came, "The puppy's out!" Grrrrrr
    Fortunately, he was only investigating the neighbor's back yard. The kids got an earful, and dh fixed the problem that night.

  • Boy, you were lucky…funny story after the fact...I wonder what those people thought when he was walking through their house...

  • Who let the fox in..hahaha

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    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

    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!
