What Silly Things SCARE Your B??

Basenji Talk
  • Oh Jack has scared me before, see my post…"My B Scared me to DEATH!!"

  • "For the most" part my boy does not give a darn about anything. Loud noises sudden movements, crowds, fireworks, earthquakes, escalators, elevators, different people walking in and out of the house ect, he just could not care less. The only thing I could think of, he's a little scared of my turtles when I put them in the bath tub he peeks from the bedroom door then he takes a couple of steps to look at them and decides to go back to peeking around the corner from the door. LOL

  • Shelby was startled once by deer while we were on a walk but she's curious about everything else, especially if Mom is there. Vince is a bit more fearful which is really funny because he looks more fearsome. He's very nervous of loud popping sounds like fireworks or cars backfiring but we joke that it's because he was in the mafia or a gang in NJ and is afraid of a drive-by.;)

    @Forever: I have been looking at him too lol my area my color and he seems sweet and he likes cats too though I can't say my cat will like him. I need to jump in and get my bratt visit done then see what happens. My problem is no fence yet. I know that is a mark against me. It is what keeps me from calling for the visit. We had plans but life happened and no fence again. Zoe seems happy with her daily walks and house play. She doesn't seem to mind being tied outside because we keep her company. I guess when the right time and b happen all will work itself out. But one thing about bratt is my worry about fanconi not sure they are tested. I worry about zoe I dont want that worry with another dog I agree with you… you already know about Zoe... and to adopt another that could be Affected... well, I certainly understand ... and FYI, they are not for the most part DNA tested... it is not something that BRAT requires... I would suppose that if you were interested in a certain dog that you could make that a condition of adoption, that he/she be tested first.... but I have no idea how BRAT would react to that...

    thats pretty funny. tayda and lenny get scared at little things also… particularly when they are sniffing around the yard and accidently sniff a bug or something, they'll jump a foot in the air and squeal. its funny particularly for lenny who likes to act like he's so mean toward other dogs - but then i'll find him in the house play bowing toward an ant on the floor....

    Just to bump away the troll/spammer:mad: Don't forget the Save-A-Vet organization when shopping on line for X-mas presents to fellow dog lovers. I just received my order and I can say I'm very pleased. Top quality. Love the tag line related to the dogs…."Land of the Free, Because of the Brave" http://www.save-a-vet.org/ (OP wizard) That picture is an OMG!!! Thanks wizard. How the hell do they train for something like that??:o

    I have had a couple of basenjis that howled occasionally in their sleep. That is really spooky, a long, low mournful howl, sitting up but asleep. I have never heard one scream while asleep. Our first screamer would do it to let you kow where he was, and that he wanted you to come to him. Sounds like what your boy did in the middle of the night! And it is nothing like a howl or yodel, it is a bloodcurdling scream! Anne in Tampa

    They are called Diastix. Some drug stores still carry them, but many have to special order them. You can find them online though.
