    I'm sure if you had 8 you could spare him 2!! At least that's what he probably thought!!

    I use a baby gate in the hallway to seperate the bedrooms/bathrooms from the rest of the house. The 16yr old cat lives in the bedrooms. My B's have the rest of the house. I had to experiment with gates though. The lattice kind my B girl used like a ladder. Stuck her little paws in the openings and climbed. I now have a vertical slat installed to the wall. I had to have extra pieces attahced to the bottom b/c she would wiggle her shoulders under and then stand up popping the hindges from the wall.

    I am sure that is better than having two dominant basenjis for sure. I never stop learing new things about this breed. They are so interesting.

    Another favorite but to be used sparingly… laser pens. All my dogs love them and the cat (if the dogs would let him) would chase it for hours. But the papillion goes a bit neurotic while playing and that just gets our B- rilled up (it stops looking so much like play and more like dominance behaviors) so it's rarely (if ever) brought out.

    I live in North Carolina, right on the coast and we have hot, hot, humid summers. Sahara loves to sit on the back steps and lay in the sun, but only after I have frozen her with AC, haha! She hates the cold, when I got her it was still cool nights here and I had a time getting her potty trained b/c she just hated the cold weather. I could not find any dog sweaters to fit her, she was only 8 wks. old, the stores were out of them, so I got smart one night and made her one from the arm of one of my husbands hunting thermal underware. She was much happier then once I got it on her, she hated me putting that thing around her neck and legs. I have her sweaters now, got them 75% off this summer. She hates the rain also, but she has on great ocassion gone on her own to potty while it was downpouring, wonders of wonders, most of the time I have to put a leash on her and pull her outside when it is raining, she will go, but not unless I keep saying, "Go Potty, Sahara". She runs like a mad dog back through her doggie door. Can't wait to see what she does if we have snow this winter, should be interesting.
