Big Yellow Bus

Basenji Talk
  • From the first day we got zoe I took her to the bus stop with us where we would wait for my daughters school bus. We usually wait at the corner at a neighbors house until the buses come up the hill then the kids run to the actual bus stop and I would stay and talk to the other moms. Well zoey decided she would have none of that. At some point she decided we had to go with the kids so she could actually see them get on the bus. She pulls like a little demon and if Im too slow she starts to growl as she pulls. When we make it to the stop she is happy until the bus rolls to a stop then she gets on her hind legs and stands there till the last child is on the bus . The bus driver always asks her if she is coming which she would if I let go of the leash. As the door shuts she loses interest and is ready to go back and let me talk to the moms where she lays till I'm ready to take her on her walk. Then it starts all over again when its time to pick them up. The rush to the stop until the kids get off the bus. When I have a day off and we are outside she gets upset when I dont let her go to the kindergarden bus as well. Wonder if she will miss them over the summer

    I'm not anti raw either - just never seen any particular advantage in it, given that there are high quality kibbles etc available. So I've never fed raw - in about 38 years of breeding (and almost always keeping a pup) and running a pack of Basenjis which numbered 8 for a long time. btw - I will soon have to start re-setting the Basenji tummy clocks for when ours go back. Usually about 2 weeks before the Fall-back I feed them slightly later, morning and evening. So when it actually happens, there is no long wait for dinner !

    In the video, I do see a lot of basenji traits, but who know... some mixes look like nothing they are really related to. Some basenjis, espec mixes, can be quite large.

    Cara was big at 16 weeks but I don't remember how big. If the ribs and backbone are slightly visible, weight is okay…too visible, too thin, cant' really see at all, getting up there. Builds are different, so the first and only evaluation is=== how does YOUR dog look. Cara is almost 5 and about 43 pounds, btw. She probably needs to lose a couple of pounds tops.

    If a pill is bitter, I coat it with butter then put it in cream cheese. If the dog is getting suspicious, I put the cream cheese in some canned dog food (a rare treat) and give each dog a bite, then the pill covered with he dog food in round 2. Once they taste a bitter pill, they will never eat whatever the pill was in again! Anne

    @tanza: I doubt there will be much swelling… and I would not use the Rimadyl unless you really need to.... of course I am not a fan of Rimadyl The site looks good this morning. I did give him a Rimadyl last night, since I wanted him to sleep well and not bother the site. I think now that may have been a mistake. Maybe a little pain would be a good thing. He's behaving perfectly normally, actually a little more nutsy, I think, after being contained all day yesterday. I hope he knows what he's doing…....:)
