Otis is a normal B

Basenji Talk
  • Ha! Ha! gald it was you and not me. Sorry I am sure it was a mess and not one but three. I bet they all love Otis now he can get them goodies. See you have those chickens and he just showed you what they are. Now I know why our pantry door locks just in case there is something in there that is just to good to turn away from.
    I am not going to say Jaycee has been a angel because it will come back to bite me. Like night Eli was sitting on sofa eating spaghetti and Jaycee jumped onto sofa and landed right in the middle of his dinner plate. Try getting that sauce off the white part of there hair that was no fun either. Hope rest of your day was good.

  • Great story!!! Thanks for sharing!! Were they all happily lapping up the stock when you found them ??

  • oh yeah, it was a royal mess, but 4 very happy dogs and two kids desperatly trying to clean it up before "mom sees it". It was a mess. I just mopped the floors for the second time and I can still smell the stock. I think it went up under my dishwasher…that is what my hubby gets to do for fun friday night chores.

  • Heh, it's bound to happen at some point. My B is also not the normal type of destructive basenji, but every blue moon he gets into something.

    At least it wasn't anything toxic.

    except maybe me…LOL

  • How did he get it? Pantry door open?

    C'mon, it's a Basenji. They use their superpowers. :D

  • Nicky can get into all of our cabinets, most of our drawers, and can open a standard refrigerator. Sophie has learned many of her uncles tricks for getting into things so we have baby latches on our cabinets and drawers and bought an upside down refrigerator when we moved into our current house.

  • Well he didn't have super powers..or maybe he did. My lovely 4 yr old son thinks all doors shoul be left open, so it was conviniently opened for him..Of course Lukas has now heard that leaving the pantry door open is not acceptable..much to Otis' dissmay.
    Mu husband walked inl ast night, raving about how good it smelled in the house.."what are you cooking" of course that didn't help smoother my chagrin…

    Ah OK, the little guy was aiding and abetting Otis in the crime. Isn't this the same Otis that ate a tray of cinnamon buns?

  • jepp, that would be the same Otis..I guess he wants his food cooked after all..and sweetened…and moistened with broth..gotta love him

  • Of course we have to love them!! Who else would? I feel for you. Luckily, my little guy has never tried to help himself to the pantry/closet. And I often forget to close the door. I think, maybe, because there are bleach and vinegar bottles on the floor that he doesn't get interested in the rest above, (including boxes of stock) or maybe I'm just on borrowed time?!?

    A campsite would be good for them to roam around. When we take on vacation, I also make sure to visit any local pet cafe so they could eat food we usually don't cook.

    @sharronhurlbut: If you want to see your dogs really play, get down on the ground with your elbows on the floor and your butt in the air.. At first, my 2 stopped, shocked, where they stood..when I pounded my arms on the floor they just began to play…just joyous... don't do this with company, however, they will think your as odd as I am!!! I once told somebody that if you're neighbors don't think you're crazy when you're training you dog, you're doing it wrong. Yes, you do need to be that animated with independent pups
  • Is that a B I see?

    Definitely looks like a basenji to me. If it was something like a lab, they would be in the pool hogging the space.

    @Forever: I have been looking at him too lol my area my color and he seems sweet and he likes cats too though I can't say my cat will like him. I need to jump in and get my bratt visit done then see what happens. My problem is no fence yet. I know that is a mark against me. It is what keeps me from calling for the visit. We had plans but life happened and no fence again. Zoe seems happy with her daily walks and house play. She doesn't seem to mind being tied outside because we keep her company. I guess when the right time and b happen all will work itself out. But one thing about bratt is my worry about fanconi not sure they are tested. I worry about zoe I dont want that worry with another dog I agree with you… you already know about Zoe... and to adopt another that could be Affected... well, I certainly understand ... and FYI, they are not for the most part DNA tested... it is not something that BRAT requires... I would suppose that if you were interested in a certain dog that you could make that a condition of adoption, that he/she be tested first.... but I have no idea how BRAT would react to that...
  • For those with more than 1 B…

    They are called Diastix. Some drug stores still carry them, but many have to special order them. You can find them online though.
