Jack & Brownies Drama….

Basenji Talk
  • SO…Dh and I put Aiden to bed and decided to shower. I had made an 8x8 dish of Betty Brownies and we had eaten about half of it (with help from guests) but hubby brought it upstairs for a late night snack and didnt close our door tight enough before we got in the shower (Jack can open our door no problem unless it clicks). When we came out, DH found the empty dish!!!:eek: "Great, Im calling the vet!!" well the vet told us to give jack 3 teaspoons of Peroxide and wait 15 minutes and it will make him throw up. So we did...poor Jacker made that "smile" face (i call it) and threw up...alot! poor guy, he kept gaging...i felt bad, We've all been there, puking is rough!! I had NO idea Peroxide worked SO well!!!
    He's all better now, sleeping LOL guess it wore him out. He'll think twice before he eats chocolate again! Its not soo good the second time around...but knowing Jack, I wouldnt bet on it....:rolleyes: All is well though, but it gave us a scare and an interesting way to finish off our lovely evening!!

  • I am glad your dog is ok, that is scary! Thats funny you mention the "smile" face, I noticed that too. One morning Tosca and I were just laying around and I fed her a piece of food. She ate it, then made this weird face, I could have sworn she was smiling. Here I thought she maybe liked her food, but sure enough, a second later she was making puking noises. So much thinking it was a genuine smile…lol!

  • I am so sorry you guys had to go through that, I would have been freaking out. Isn't having a B like having another child, you have to watch every move sometimes. haha!!!!! I am so funny about eating chocolate around Sahara, my hubby loves chocolate (not me) and when he leaves candy papers on the table beside his chair I have a fit. I mean get with it, you know Sahara is going to grab those papers, haha!!!! Anyways, I am so glad Jack is OK, poor baby. I think he deserves a good treat today!!!!

  • Poor baby! That's what he gets for stealing those brownies - LOL!
    My friend keeps a "kit" ready at all times to make her Bichon vomit. The little stinker, "Annabelle" eats chocolate any chance she gets!!

  • Poor Baby! I did not know peroxide would make them throw up. Good thing to know since our little baby also likes to get into everything! Glad he is feeling better!

    Thanks for checking with basenji people regarding suitability of basenjis as therapy dogs! While I have known of a couple who were used as therapy dogs, as a rescue volunteer, I've also taken in basenjis from families relinquishing them out of fear for the safety of their special needs children. Either seek an adult (over two years old) with the right personality or a carefully bred pup whose parents have the right personality. For the pup, correct early training is very important. Through my volunteer activities, I have had many opportunities to see the results of less than ideal early training. I hope they are successful in finding the right dog for their family.

    Oakley would eat sour smarties or sweet tarts over sweet potatoes or zucchini 100%. I often think it's weird how similar his taste for sour and tart candies resembles mine!! I do however like fruits and vegetables more than him..
  • Yeah!!! Jack Is Home!!!

    My cat was here for nearly 15 years before I got my B puppy. The puppy of course wants to play, and the cat hates her with a passion. The cat stands her ground and growls, hisses, spits and goes after Shaye with claws raking - the one thing that perhaps is going to save my B is that she is learning the "leave it" command, and is starting to ignore the cat when I give the command. They will never be friends, but eventually I'm hoping the dog ignores the cat through the "leave it" command. The command is even beginning to save my couch, pillows, chair legs, etc., etc. - keep at it!

    @Barklessdog: We got our dogs a little bed for the family room for christmas and I snapped a couple of pics of our Tri. The other dog came over and.. [image: basketcase.jpg] She heeded the warning and went away while I kept playing with him, no scuffle. A child is going to have know theses signs as well. This is how Tyler looks when he has settled in to sleep and Zoey wants to come in an "nest" before she settles. Zoey has learned to heed the warning also and doesn't disturb Ty when he's already settled.

    In my personal opinion, basenjis don't get along with most dogs generally unless they are brought up to do so. They are a small package with a big attitude. My dog liked some dogs, others she would have outright wars with, especially if it had anything to do with her territory. My girl had a peeing competition with the scottie terrier across the way from us, every time we let her out, the first thing on her agenda was race off and to reclassify her boundaries! And when the scottie was let out she did the same.
