Bad dogs

    Bad dog #1
    We got a 6 ft privacy fence installed in March, we have never had a problem with the Nexa or Leo trying to dig under or jump over the fence. Yesterday 2 dogs went behind the shed chasing a squirrel and only 1 came out. I went and got Nexa, amazed that she made it over the top of the fence. Not two minutes after we are back inside the fence Nexa jumps the fence again! Of course this time she runs to the neighbor a few houses down with the perfect landscaping and starts eating their flowers.

    Leo grabbed a sock out of my closet this morning and as he is running away to destroy it he swallows the whole thing. We get out the hydrogen peroxide because I'm not thinking socks will NOT digest. After the sock successfully comes up, Leo grabs the end of it and my wife and I are playing tug of war with a vomit covered sock…we won. :mad: At least we avoided the emergency vet.

    I beginning to think the only thing that will contain a Basenji is an underground bunker. Then again they might dig there way through the concrete. Gosh what makes these pups so determined to get on the other side?

    Glad Leo came through the sock ordeal ok. Maybe you need baby locks on all your draws ;)

    Lol…sorry to laugh but I was walking Indy the other day and for some strange reason there was a pair of socks in the middle of the side walk. Needless to say he saw it before I did. He raced up to it grabbed them and was starting his best show dog prance by the time I saw him.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    That is a great idea, but it should be an adolescent for sure (seems to be the most trying stage). My mom also really liked our dog (the look, the no bark, typical things most people like) and she quickly changed her ideas. We were telling her about the time we had to babysit another dog and the things she did to let us know that she did not like another dog in our house (she did some very naughty things)! My mom said 'wow she is really a manipulating dog'. I said, yeah they are definately not a breed for everyone.
