Feet Attack

Basenji Talk
  • Does anyones B go crazy if you blow on the botom of there feet. Just back ones. Jaycee was laying on bed with her feet in our face and we blowed on bottom of her feet and she goes crazy playing. This can make her go into a Play Storm. :p

  • I do something similar with my B. When he's playful, i'll grab his feet, which then turns him into an even more playful mood. He usually runs back at me and bows, which makes it appear as if he is tempting me to grab them again. Funny to watch.

    That is SO funny! Had to try it of course, so I blew on Shaye's feet while she was lying on the couch. She just looked at me as if to say "What the hell is wrong with you - you losing it completely, stupid????" Which of course, is funny in itself. They are such a trip.:D

  • LOL, I had to try it as well, and Cody had a simlar response, only his expression was more like, "Can't you see I'm trying to take a nap? Jeeze!" Then he got up, circled, and faced the other direction with a huff!

    They love to sigh. We are such inconveniences to them.

    OMG, pls. let us know how Benny is doing after all those bites… If I were you, I would still report the incident to the police or Animal Control... It doesn't matter if you don't know who the owner is...This would establish history and should the owner be identified, then there's documentation that the proper authorities can look back to... Also, you said you've seen this pit bull before... If you see that dog again, maybe you can observe it (from a safe distance, of course) and maybe he'll lead you to its home... But safety (your safety) is priority one... Just my $0.02...

    Thanks for the advice everyone! Picking them up would have probably worked in this situation because the other dog was small, but i couldn't think that fast as it was happening! but carrying some kind of spray sounds like a good idea, i am going to look for that at the pet store. Thanks again!

    A quick vet check may be a good idea… if anything, it'll reassure you it's not a health issue or allergy. Do you provide something like a stuffed kong for him to lick at while he's crated? Stuffed FROZEN kong toys work wonders for crated dogs. the toy can be stuffed with tons of things (i.e. peanut butter, cream cheese, kibble, wet dog food, chicken, tuna, even jam a few dog biscuits in it...) it would give him something to focus on besides his back feet. Another way to help (if it is an anxiety/nervous behavior) is Rescue Remedy (or another Bach remedy). these are natural extracts, that work over TIME to help ease anxieties.
