Car watching

Basenji Talk
  • Yep, dead leaves, seaweed, bits of fluff, bunnies….. lol.

    He also does a meerkat pose if the grass is too long for him to see over. He'll stand stock still on his back legs just looking into the fields :D

  • @Basenjimamma:

    Otis loves looking out the window..especially at squirrels..and cars, bicyclists are not even funny, they all go nuts..and birds..and the neighborhood dogs and on and on..My favorite part, he doesn't bark like the two other dogs, thank god….!!
    Here is Otis, Gus and Luna.

    Otis and Gus.

    cute cute! Yes, it is nice to have a couple that don't bark.

    Do y'all have hummingbirds? My B's run themselves ragged on the front porch chasing the hummingbirds from feeder to feeder. The hummingbirds dive bomb the dogs all the time and it is hilarious to watch.

  • No hummingbirds here (bit cold and too far north!) but he does have a thing for pouncing on spiders and trying to catch bluebottles and bumble bees!

  • I would love to have humming birds, if it moves mine will chase it!

    The meerkat pose…cool! Never seen mine do that.
    At Rocco's first show at Windsor, I had just got him stacked on the table for the judge to examine, when a low flying jumbo jet went directly overhead. He just stood there, motionless, apart from watching this plane. Everybody laughed, including the judge, and me!

    I've had to kit the kitchen windowsil out with vetbed, so they can wildlife watch/sunbathe in comfort. And you know all about Dora's love of car chasing!

  • I also have a showstory to share…

    Ochre is particularly interested in the birds too. What I had started to do was say, 'Is that the birds/birdies ???', to her, and she would stop whatever, to watch them fly around... Thats fine, until, I was at a show, just placed her on a table, she looked up, and stoopid me, says to her, "Is that the birdies", not thinking what I was saying, or more to the point, where I was... WELL, she freezes, up goes the head, and I CANNOT get her to do anything... I patiently wait, with the judge standing next to me, till the damn bird goes out of sight, stack her up, and the judge looks at me and says "I thought these were hounds not bird dogs !!!" I apologize to him, blushing madly, hes laughing, and Ochre goes on to win BOB :o:o:o

    Later I tell him what that was all about, still very red faced I might add...

  • Cody just likes watching whatever is outside: cars, people, animals, grass, wind, whatever. He doesn't even notice planes or helicopters anymore unless they are flying extremely low, but we live near Camp Lejeune, where they are a common occurrence.

  • And all this time I thought my Abbey was the only dog in the world that spotted helicopters and airplanes!! She sits down and watches till they're out of sight.

  • crystalncody nice pictures of Cody very handsome guy. I call that window studying.

  • I forgot to mention that Gossy will chase not only birds but also their shadows :)

  • Otis will chase seagulls when we are at the beach, not in the air though, he chases their shadows..silly dog.

  • Jaycee chases shadows of all kinds it must be because they do not chase her.

    @MacPack: There was a black & white basenji in an ad for those swim-current pools a couple of years ago, he was running along the side of it. Just a glimpse. I posted about that one on the forums in this area, I think. Someone else posted a link to the video. :) Pretty sure I titled it "Is that a B I see?"

    The article I read on ginger said they started taking the ginger capsules 2 days before chemo and of course used regular meds during the chemo, but their ginger group had less nausea/vomiting than the placebos. Maybe the trick is to start early!

    EL D likes to watch but only when dogs, wolves, birds and meerkats are on. The really funny thing, though, he'll watch the reflection in the stereo cabinet (if you young pups don't know what that is you'll have to do some research :)) instead of the TV directly. So here he is lying half off the chair or with his head hanging over the arm, staring at the stereo cabinet. And every now and then he'll get up and go looking behind the cabinet to see if he can find the creature. :D

    I use a car harness with My isZi because if I don't she wants to sit on my shoulders and it makes it very hard to drive. I have no idea why she wants on my shoulders even if I'm sitting at the desk on the computer she thinks she has to be on my shoulders. I guess because her ancestor's were carried that way?

    We use the seat belt/harness type for both of them. They're in the back and stay put. They just curl up and sleep.
  • Car Seats or Kennels?

    I put Tayda and Lenny in a kennel in the backseat…. they seem to be pretty happy with it. They wouldn't sit still in a carseat.... also helps with the hair all over the seat issue.
