Another weight question

    @Basenjimamma:

    We have a few people in the neighborhood behind ours that have geese as guard birds, and they are very effective and loud..
    What a job..walking around making sure geese don't bother anybody..hmm.

    The geese don't bother anybody, it's the poop messes they make all over the place.

    Otis has grown a small amount. Very good looking. Food from the kitchen that is also Jaycee. We have all had to learn to put everything way back on the counter and nothing on table. Life is different but good.

    I just weighed Otis, and this is after he ate breakfast..he now weighs 23.8lbs, and is looking trimmer for sure. His ribs are definitely right under the surface now, as supposed to a little squishy..the no-bacon, no-butter, no-cinnamon roll diet worked..He did however, with some help from our dachshund, Gus, get a hold of one of our roosters, Elmer, and hurt him bad..we had to put poor Elmer down. Now we have reinforced the fence, on the chicken side, so they can't get over and be a treat for the dogs..Boy was he remorseful after that ordeal..or at least that is how he came across.
    Thanks all for helping me with your inputs, much appreciated..

    Petra and Pippin

    with Otis in my heart…

    @elbrant The first time I took Ibis lure coursing: I let go, and she ran straight to the lunch stand! It was in the opposite direction of the field. I don't think she could figure out why a dog would run after an empty bag, when everyone knows, they're much more interesting when heavy!

    Q
    Agree with all above - you also might like to try mixing a teaspoon of sardine/tuna with a little water and spreading it over the food. Good luck!

    Otis doesn't wear his at home either only if on a lead..safety is key.

    both our dogs took about 2 seconds from walking into the room with the needle to walking back out. jonny just looked at the vet, hansel yelped quickly and on our way we went. i cannot imagine putting them out for THAT. but neither one dislikes going either. they both look at it as an AMAZING chance to smell, jump, chase, visit, investigate,… well you get the idea. they love it there. SO MANY dog food bags to smell. lol

    @saralars: This is off the subject of crate escape… I was told growing up that turkey and chicken bones were very dangerous for dogs. Are Basenjis different in this way too? Or am I missing something... Raw, uncooked bones are fine for any dog, not just Basenjis… it is "cooked" bones that are the problems

    The only reasons I would not crate little bs with big bs is (1) I don't want any fighting so you would have to play that one by ear (2) If the little one potties in the crate accidentally the big b has to suffer too. But I only have 1 so thats all I could think of
