I'm almost done shopping, and even done wrapping. At an attempt to not leave everything to the last minute this year, I have been wrapping gifts as I get them. I even put them in a neat stack in my spare room, leaving the bows off so the cats don't eat them.

I was watching tv the other day, and noticed the house was just too quiet… you know, that "eerie" type of quiet. the type of quiet you only notice when your B is getting into mega trouble. So, I ventured around to see what I could find.... and then I saw it. Tucker, on the couch, surrounded in wrapping paper, presents, and a downright adorable smirk on his face! he found my neat stack of presents in the spare room, brought some to the couch, and proceeded to unwrap them. thankfully he didn't actually open or eat any gifts, he was just interested in the wrapping....

note to self: put wrapped gifts on a high shelf, inside a closed closet.

It was really funny. we all had a great laugh. I WISH I had a camera on hand. ahhh well... they can be re-wrapped.

I just purchased the magazine. It will probably take a little while longer to make it here to Canada (international mailing). I can't wait to get it.

Janneke, maybe they will ship one to you? I know that WWW won't deal directly with owners, but maybe some of the vendors/stores that carry them will be willing to ship to you?

Wizard, they usually use those collars for whippets and other sighthounds because the head is very narrow and not much bigger than the neck. Collars easily slip off so they often use a martingale style. Also they make them extra wide so they don't cut into the dog, it makes it more comfortable since they tend to have longer thin delicate necks. They're not heavily muscled like other breeds. And if they pull like Basenjis, it's good to have a wider collar to spread the pressure out! 🙂 Less likely to damage the trachea.

@phoenix3:

Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head 🙂

My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways 😃 😃

phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.

Hmmm… JazzysMom-- it is our planet, yes but that's about the extent to which I agree with you. I don't think pollution is as much of a problem for wildlife as habitat destruction is...

An example- my parents own 25 acres in the mountains. I went to visit them this past weekend and I know their neighbor has beavers on his property. I was so excited to have a chance to see them up close; on my last visit I only got to see the pencil shaped tree trunks and their house- but this time I really wanted to wait for a siting. Unfortunately I found out that they had created a dam that flooded the property so the land owner had them trapped and then killed. For what?? Doing what beavers do?! The land owner has acres upon acres of just woods and lakes and streams. Did he really NEED to remove the beavers because they were doing THEIR thing? I don't know. I just think that was unnecessary. That is the kind of thing that irritates me. Why is it OUR land and not theirs? They had probably been in those woods for ages... but no, it's OUR land now. But they were wrecking OUR land and OUR gardens and OUR things...

And sure, the environment changes and makes food sources scarce from year to year but what about all the roads they have to cross to find the shrinking food supplies? They're bound to get squished with any step they take. And heaven forbid they come within 30 feet of a house... PEST we scream! Quick, call someone to take it out!! We're the greedy ones. Want, want, want... it's all ours! None for you! If we wanted to 'share' the land/environment/planet we'd be more like the Native Americans...IMO of course.

(Not trying to attack anyone, but I have a BIG heart for creatures who cannot help themselves)
