    that is soooo funny. and just typical.

    yep we keep our doors all shut… i figure the kitchen and living room and the boys bedroom and the basement are enough to "terrorize" . i came home the other day to SNOW all up and down the hall. son had left the bathroom door open and HANSEL (jonny NEVER gets stuff messy) had gotten in the trash(including his personal favorite-female products) and SNOWED the hallway with it. it was really really funny. when i got home there it was and he was SO proud. lol i yelled at my son to come look as he was in the basement, so hansel was unsupervised. son picked up real quick and i dont think he will forget to shut the door for a while. picking up trash is not his idea of fun. i should have taken a picture. next time i will. and there will be a next time. :)

    jonny b. and HAnsel, he's so hot right now

    @tanza:

    For OJ's entire life, his favorite thing was stealing napkins off peoples laps…. now that made for good dinner conversations... and he was so quick.. most of the people didn't have a clue where/what happen to their napkins....

    Nala too…she's a stealthy thief...no one even knows it's happening until you hear her shredding it under the table...We warn people that they can't be "sophisticated" in our house - they leave the napkins on the table" LOL

    Great photograph! our bathroom doors have to be kept shut too, or Tilly is right in there.

    If you take her into the bathroom with you (because she cant be trusted on her own) she can also chew the crotch right out of your pants (without giving any indication of what she is doing) while you are in situ…. thats a difficult one to explain lol.

    My rw Ringo didn't steal dinner guest's napkins but he would just suddenly spring up in their lap and scare the crap out of them. Then we start laughing.

    Very funny! Poppy has only destroyed one practically new dog lead today.

    She only goes into the bathroom supervised.

    My husband's b/w met him at the front door when he came home from work with a trail of TP from the bathroom to the front door without breaking it. Pretty funny, I don't think I could have done that if I tried. They sure do love TP and Qtips, quite the basenji obsession

    :D:D:D only just seen this thread, it's so funny. Love the half toilet roll that was left, how considerate:D
    Benjis party trick would be to drag clothing from the laundry basket downstairs when we had guests, particularly undies. You then had to chase him red faced all around the house and wrestle them from his jaws. He also loved to make crotchless undies:o

    That is just to funny having to chase the dog with underware and guests. At least you had something to talk about that night that was different.

    @nick4 I am in the "Basenji Zone" as well. I have done the putting her in the crate and then walking away while I talk to her and then letting her out and then back in again and I do the same thing where i will step out then come back in again. She does best when i leave her a good greenie for her teeth and I step out really quick she got used to it. Also I had the shower problem I even went as far as bringing her into the shower and to my surprise she did not care and i used it as a way to get her comfortable with the water....then i slowly gave her water from the shower talked to her while I was in there and peeked out the curtain every now and then and she got a lot calmer. I dont know if any this would help. Just wanted to share!

    Unless there is true fighting leave them alone. They will work things out - the resource guarding may be behind it - but one simply doesn't want the other to be so close or whatever.

    Yeah they do the whole 'omg my fur is all messed up' shake turn around 3 times then flop their furry butts down back in bed. I know about the super light sleeper thing. I too can wake up at the first sound of puking puppy and either throw a towel underneath them or try to get them to the bathroom in time so they can vomit in the sink. Once they get they get those ears going it's hard to stop!

    @basenji_fan: She's stay hiden for days sometimes, and wouldn't come out to eat or use the litter box (she'd just hold it), and not eating or pottying is really not good for cats I see, yes, it is important for them to eat and eliminate, for sure.

    Hey we had the same thing happen to us on this past Sat. We have taken Trixie for over a month one to two times per week. All of a sudden on Sat. Trixie got an attitude with a dog that was under our table and I had to scoop her up, she was trying to fight the dog and of course once that happened all the other dogs came over to see what was going on. I had Trixie picked up and we left quickly. She would not not stop making her lovely growling and devil noises. It scared a lot of people who were looking at me like what the HECK lady? I could not tell you what happened but we will be taking a little break from the dog park!!

    Yes that is similar. When EL D nipped my brother it was never really hard (okay so he'll have a bruise) and he backed off pretty quick once he let my brother have it. But it is unnerving because it is unpredictable.
