    Somewere along the line Myran has forgotten he´s a basenji he just enjoys too much his walks it doesn´t matter if i´m looking at him with pleading eye´s and saying it´s raining sure you do not want to go for a run.Aha yes I do and tug´s at the leash to get to the ol´sheep enclosure were the nutjob will run through ditches eat mud and have a blast with his mates.So were did it go wrong I ask ??And he loves his jackets/sweaters sticks his head in by free will he´d probably wear anything just to get out and run as I said ,something went wrong in the genepool!

    The last couple of days the highs have been below zero (yesterday and this morning it was -14F/-26C when I let EL D out to go potty with two coats on). Yesterday in the early afternoon he whined and whined to go for a walk and I wasn't going to go but in the end said okay. Put his and my coats on and made it down the driveway and to the mailbox and he was pulling hard to turn around and get back in the house. He learned his lesson I guess - no more whining the rest of the day! :)

    Thanks Guys. Hiding it in a piece of beef is working today. I did the three pieces sneaking it in the middle one technique. We will see how long it takes him to catch on.

    @AndrewnShango: While I understand this ad is WAY off the mark, it seems that my Shango is silent 99% of the time (I hope that's because he's happy and well-taken care of.) I also know that he's an ideal indoor companion (but that's because I take him for TONS of walks, runs, and visits to the dog park.) He doesn't cause my friends allergies to act up and he's easy to take care of (when he's not following me around the house or sleeping in my bed :)) This ad is off the mark. It's so sad that people compulsively buy puppies because they are cute without any consideration for the work that goes along with it :( :( Trust me, a lot….A LOT ..... of very happy well-taken care of dogs make noise, and plenty of it! :) The thing is, you cannot make general statements. I have two Basenjis, both healthy, happy dogs. They even share a bloodline {Keoki's Dam is Jazzy's Grand-dam}, and have both been raised in the same home environment since they were teeny pups. Jazzy is totally laid-back; she could easily live in an apartment with a single person who works all day. She would be quiet, non-destructive, content...the ideal indoor dog, although as I've said before the Basenji-500 would disqualify the Basenji for being the "ideal indoor dog" for a lot of people . Keoki is totally opposite -- he makes A LOT of noise when he's left home alone {with no people;he's never home w/no other dogs}, he is the Captain of the Home Destruction Team {chews clothes, chair rungs, wall trim..you name it}. If someone reads that ad and gets a Jazzy, they may well be satisified. If someone reads that ad and gets a Keoki, who I think is a bit more typical Basenji personality, that pup is destined for a shelter. The whole ad just burns me. :mad:
