Ah!!! Paper Shredding

Basenji Talk
  • 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.

  • OMG!! How scary :D…I guess they went on a TP raid!! LOL

  • You could say that. =)

    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    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?

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    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

    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.
