Coffee Addict

Basenji Talk
  • Mine are totally after Wine… they love it.....

  • Jack wants wine too.

    And appletinis.

    I'm noticing a pattern.

  • Beegin does have a taste for wine too. And coffee obviously and also Hagen Daas icecream. I think the pattern is he has all the same vices as me! :)

  • We have coffee addict too. Zip couldn't care less about coffee but Riley goes nuts over it. Liz has come back to the room to find Riley with his nose in her coffee mug. He then just looks up with that innocent face of his and pretends that he's just checking to make sure her drink wasn't poisoned.

    But both Zip and Riley go nuts over watermelon. Once Riley smells it he immediately starts whining and making such a fuss that you'd think we haven't fed him in weeks. He will do ANYTHING to get at the watermelon. He's even managed to fit all four legs on liz's bedside table to try to reach it. He's such a foodie. Oh, and he does the same with Orange juice. He's actually managed to lap up a good bit of liz's OJ whenever she turns her back on him. This is probably why we call him trouble on 4 paws.

    Edit: This was Liz's first post on the forum! Yay!

  • Sugar and Damisi are wine hounds. Although Sugar gets sick if she drinks it, she really likes it-especially black cherry. Damisi was running around the hotel room in Dallas (we had the wine glasses on the end table between the beds) playing and all of a sudden she jumped to the end table, drove her nose into the wine glass, spilling the wine all over and tried to slurp it down! Needless to say, after that she was watched-really closely! Neither likes coffee, nor does Shadow-he doesn't like anything other than milk.

  • Sahara will get at my coffee if I leave it unattended,or leave any in the cup when I am done with it and it has cooled down. She also loves watermelon, really loves it. It is so funny seeing her hold her head back while muching on cold watermelon.

    So funny, my pups are melon hounds as well. Oh and Cabbage… they ADORE cabbage.

  • My Girls love Starbuck's Nonfat Cha Tea Latte!!!!!

  • There must be something in the smell of these kinds of things as well. Beegin has climbed shelves in my pantry to get a box of chai tea (the dried in the tea bag stuff) and he tore like every single tea bag apart and even carried some into his crate for later. I found soggy chewed on chai tea bags stashed under his blankets!

  • This is too funny…Sultan and I share my morning coffee..or my night coffee...he's also been known on occasion to find a bag of beans and take them outside to his hiding place...not sure he's actually eaten them, but the bag's been ripped opened. He likes to lick the beer bottles as well, but he didn't seem to enjoy my red wine, which is fine with me

  • rocky will sneak up and drink beer outta the bottle. well try.. he sticks his tongue down the neck haha

    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

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    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

    Our dobes ignore the television, and so does Tilly mainly - unless she hears childrens voices - then she is over at it straight away. There was a popular yoghurt advert a few months ago featuring a young child talking - Tilly would wake up from a deep sleep and rush over to stand with her nose pressed against the screen! I dont tend to watch much TV, but Tilly likes to read books with me - well she sits beside me and pushes her head infront of whatever im reading to get attention. it usually works.
