I have an alpha female basenji and brought a newborn into our family. I was in the hospital for four days (my in laws stayed with dog and horse), when we came home, we had my Mom bring her new boyfriend. He was a great distraction, but also allowed me some alone time with Cricket. When they left, she noticed the baby in the bassinet and was a bit concerned.
She adapted to the baby, but I don't leave them alone just in case. Cricket is not nearly as jealous as she was, now that he drops food for her at the table, but she did get a bit jealous for a few weeks.
While I was pregnant, I was told that 'the test' was to play baby crying videos on YouTube. How the dog reacts will tell you how they will interact with the baby. Cricket beat the crap out of my phone when I tried… So not a great test! 🙂
Foods basenjis love
-
But as I understand it, the skin is not the best thing for dogs?…. but yes, mine love Sweet Potatos too, of course all meats, 90% of all veggies.. and most fruits... and if you ever have a sick dog that needs to eat and doesn't want to... canned hash will do it every time....
What is the consequence of letting them eat the skins. I never heard that.
Canned hash huh?:eek:
-
are talking about raw veggies or cooked?
-
They'll generally eat anything we consider gross-unedible-etc.

We cook the sweet potato, mash everything up and add it to the kibble….on occasion.......it's not a regular part of their diet......but they really do love them.

Mine love:
tan bark (chew up)
dirt
cat poop
dead dried up birds
old food found around picnic areasNot necessarily in that order. Bon appetite!

Please pardon my ignorance…but what the heck is "hash"???
-
corned beef and hash comes in a can….it is in the spamalicious and vienna sausage family and is a camping breakfast favorite as well as some peoples' breakfast for those who enjoy salt in the morning.
a very salty meat, some variety of pork with bits of potatoe in it...heat it up and eat with eggs....
stinky salty maybe meat product that can taste really good at certain moments.....l

Oh, by the way, I would not touch it with a ten foot pole… gggg But the smell makes my B's go totally nuts!

I'm in hysterics, because we have always said there should be a dog food that is "cat poop" flavored.

By the way, our little Juma will eat almost anything in front of her. However, boiled hamburger meat is fun to add a bit to her food.

I'm sorry for anyone who likes canned hash-but, isn't that what it is? Canned "cat poop" flavoured sorta "meat"?

AAAAAHHHHH Ok I do know SPAM..grew up on the stuff. Don't ask me why?? I can't even look at it now

Here's my take on why dogs eat cat poop. The cat gets chased and terrorized by the dog. So the cat gets back at the dog by the poop having a magic spell on it that makes the dog hallucinate that it's a juicy steak hot off the grill. So the cat sits up on the fence having the last laugh watching the dog eat.

Mystery meat
-
anything we are eating. He is not fond of carrots or any raw vegetable.
-
Yogurt
Cottage cheese
eggs
lean meat (chicken, beef, bison etc.)
Steamed veggies (esp. broccoli)
fish (cod and salmoln are big hits here!)
And Storm loves raw asparagus (almost as much as he loves cat box crunchies! ). -
and peanut butter..
