Ah!!! Paper Shredding

Basenji Talk
  • myieM

    So about two months ago my husband woke up to find that the puppies had dug out of our backyard. He rushed outside and was wondering where to look for them when he saw shredded toilet paper on one of our neighbors lawns. They had gotten out while we were asleep and raided the neighbors trash only extracting the toilet paper and shredding it in the typical basenji fashion. Luckily we live in a fairly nice small town and someone had brought them to the animal shelter about 5 minutes away and when we called they were already there that day. At the moment it was far from funny, but now that they seem to have ceased their digging ways it really is quite funny how they were enjoying the forbidden.

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    That looks familiar! Cody also LOVES paper towels. We use them as napkins during dinner and if he gets one he prances around the house as if to say "SCORE"! He looks proudest when he has a contraband paper towel in his mouth! He also likes the occasional toilet paper, but really, Bounty paper towels are IT for him!

    I keep a box of shredded paper in the corner for Gossy to throw around (easier to clean up than TP and tissue) and a box of unshredded newspapers for her to bury bones. Initially the boxes of paper were for recycling purposes (I weed out the bones on recycyling day) but they suit her purposes as well.

    Over thanksgiving last year, I went out of town for the week to visit my folks. The normal person that keeps my Basenjis was also out of town that week. My husband's sister volunteer to keep them. I tried to warn her of all the things she needed to put up and away. My guys are older and in a basenji proof house are ok left out (not crated) all day. She forgot to shut the bathroom door one day before work. She got home and they had gently pulled the TP from the holder and ran up and down the hallway making many trips folding the paper back and forth on itself. She didn't forget to shut the door again.:D They also took a whole box of facial tissue off the end table and shreded it. She said it looked like it had snowed in her living room.:p
