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.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    Don't forget, B's come from an area where there is not usually indoor plumbing. And don't you know? smokining is bad for your health. He's just helping you quit! LOL I can leave mine on the roll-only because I keep the door shut. And not because of the B's. Zina, the box(enji) (yes, at six and a half she still thinks she's their size) took it one day and ran through the whole house-it was really funny watching this dog who could barely move at that time, trying to run with TP flying behind her!

    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
