Robyn, they knew there was a creature out there that even stalked a child. Having the dog with them, off leash, out at dusk was a foolish risk in my opinion. It says she thought the dog was sniffing around– so not sure if that meant she wasn't even watching the dog and thought it was just checking things out (stupid) OR the dog seemed to be scenting something (STILL STUPID) and she stayed. And yeah, she should have had a gun just to protect even herself. It was an unnecessary risk.

Basenjis are the canine version of "The Travelers"! Have you ever seen news magazine specials about the gypsy group called the Travelers? It occurred to Larry this morning as he watched Cory divert my attention while Jayden skillfully picked my pockets of all Kleenex…..they are just 4 legged con artists!! (Duh) They have it down to a fine art.

Agreed. Back when we had two, Cassi would mount some sort of playful distraction while Alex would slip back to the bedroom and ransack the trash.
