First Bath and First Rain Walk

Basenji Talk
  • Magic does not very like wet grass:eek:

  • LOL, sounds like you should call her Princess Magic

  • :D :D :D Her name - Magic of Luxury:D almost how princess:D

  • Thats a very cute name!! :D

  • Rain does not bother our dogs as long as you go with them. Going alone- forget it!

    Or male pee's on him self all the time, then he promptly licks it off (refer to no kissing thread)

  • So maybe I got one that doesn't mind water to much.

    ha ha, just wait….

  • @Mantis:

    ha ha, just wait….

    LOL, I don't know he tried to climb in the shower with me yesterday, and it's been raining since he got here and Reggie is more unhappy about the rain than Tiggy

  • I have a cat that is fascinated by the bathroom. Tuk will lay in the bathroom sink, even if I have the water turned on lightly! If I am in the bathtub, he will try to sit on my chest. If I am taking a shower, he will jump in and stand between the bathtub and the shower curtain. When I exit the shower/tub, he jumps into the bathtub and walks around or else rubs against my wet legs. Its weird. He's weird.

  • Uku doesn't enjoy rain much but wet grass is ok!
    I haven't tried the shower yet thinking he was too young for it :( , but the next nice and sunny day, I will give it a try.

  • I have a cat that will walk around in the rain, she likes it. :eek: But if it is thundering, she heads for her cat door in the garage, hates thunder. My Basenji, Sahara hates wet grass, but is better about getting a bath now that I give her a treat when we are done. We carried her out in the boat, with her lifepreserver on and she liked it Ok. She is getting better but won't go outside to potty when it is raining unless Mom goes with her on a leash and an umbrella. Hence, her name Africian Queen Sahara!!!!!!:D

    Ewww. I have gotten those kind of surprises too, with my cats. They have given up on rats because they have gotten very sick from eating them, but birds seem to be fair game. And like what Hope did, it always seems the head and legs are left. I guess the middle parts are juicy. Now, that is a great way to get your Hope used to having her teeth brushed. :) Just leave a few tooth brushes out around the house. By the time you really want to get into a teeth cleaning routine, she will love it!

    @rammaam: The only way to bath my two, is to take them into the shower. I use the sprayer with hose. My husband get in the shower and bathes them and I hold the other so he does not escape the bathroo. Then its his turn. While he getting his shower, i'm drying his sister, (with lots of help). It ends up with everyone soaked. lol… Mya showers as well. She just can't stand the bath. But she'll tolerate the shower. :p

    It all depends on how she was "down" for example a "crouching down" wit her body very low to the ground from head to tail & focusing on the other dog then I would say definitely pouncing position…but this could be puncing for play. My girl does this very often when she plays. If it's just down with her head up end front elbows on the ground then I would think she's just trying to send a signal...hey I don't mean any harm & I'm cool & calm :) part of their doggy language.
  • First long walk…what a success!
