I'm seeing double

    Just a quick question…

    We got Lori about a week and a half ago. Ever since we got her she has been constantly following Indy around. He has warmed up to the idea and now they are happily playing tricks on both DH and I as a tag team.

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that they are becoming fast friends but I want to make sure Lori gets the independance she deserves.

    Currently we are taking them for most of their walks together. At least once a day Lori and Indy go out separately (Indy to the park Lori to hang out at home and go for a walk till she gets her rabies and an ok from the vet) DH and I usually switch of who is who. Am I on the right track or should I do more independant things with her?

    I think that sounds perfect! You want the younger dog to be comfortable going new places without the older one; and you want the older one to still have some special one on one time with the humans…but there is no need to get carried away with having them do things separately! Dogs like to act as a pack :)

    Agreed. Sometimes I think the grosser it is they more they enjoy seeing our faces when they do it.

    It true that many dogs give signals humans miss. Its amazing when I go over to see someone about their bad basenji, how I watch them much closer than the family does. I think it just comes from most folks not knowing what to see. Hopefully, someone can come over and help you. It would so be worth the $$

    Animals definitely know. The one day that I've been sick since Ruby arrived, she curled up with me on the couch for most of the day…wasn't her usual rambunctious self. I once was taking care of my friend's black lab for a weekend and was sick one of the days. I was on the couch and the dog just came over and put his head on me like he was saying "sorry you don't feel well...don't worry about running around with me, I'll stay with you"...it was the sweetest thing, and we basically just hung out in front of the fire for the day.

    A Boxenji is a great big goof of a dog who had an affliction called HOD (Hyper trophic osteodystrophy), grew up with Basenji's and think she's one. You should see her run along the back of the couch-absolutely hilarious. She also yodels.
