    Hi from Alabama....
    The babies are doing hunkydory. We put up the tree this weekend, and they are leaving it alone (for now!). However, they are both displaying new and amazing ways to get naughty...

    Ode is quite the athlete. He has perfected a standing leap from the floor to the kitchen counter, 3'2".

    Nu has figured out how to unscrew jar lids. One paw on the jar and push with her nose untill the contents spill out...

    My canine Bonnie & Clyde.

    Merry Christmas!

    ...............
    TOO FUNNY !

    This is hilarious! It is nice to get wonderful messages - from anyone, especially your puppy's owner like this. :)

    The above quote struck me so I have to comment. Duke does this sometimes. Like a flying magic trick he does - from the floor, jumps strait up vertically into the air, propelling himself over a lap, landing on the sofa. It's surprising / shocking - we all look at each other . . . like "Did you see that??" LOL :D

    This is my favorite part! I too emailed my breeder sharing this info with them. I couldn't believe it until I saw C3 UP on the table with NO running start LOL!!

    LOL on the entire repertoire. That was my chow/coyote. I would just wait til she stopped and give THE command (or give it again if she started AFTER I had given it.. but most of the time she started the second she knew I had a treat) when she was ready to listen. But it was cute.

    I really believe this helps. Uzie does have separation anxiety and just about 10 min before I leave, I put on a station from Directv that has easy listening. I enjoy it when I am home and do notice that all three of my pups do seem to settle down on their beds and enjoy it! I thank you for posting the link, my girlfriend needs this for her aging Silky who gets so worked up during a storm that he defecates all through the house…..

    Sometimes the best medicine is to be around those you love. Hopefully being with her family will help her continue to heal. Thanks for the update….keep us posted. (Sending healing thoughts to Annie)

    @basenjibratz: It's wonderful seeing a basenji run. They are usually the smallest in the big dog parks but they sure can keep up. When I use to take Talker to a make shift dog park (four enclosed baseball fields) he would run with a border collie. The border collie would always be chasing Talker and the humans were always amazed at his speed and how he was never panting while the border collie would be panting up a storm. It was wonderful to see him stretched out in a full run. Trixie's Daddy should be proud at his girl and so should you. :) Yes I have had several people comment that after a full run Trixie is looking at the other dogs like "why are you panting?" They have often asked me if she ever seems to get tired, my reply is always yes but it takes a while! They are beautiful to watch run! Everytime I watch her it amazes me!
