• Oh Petra, you'll be finding tiny pieces of bird food popping up for months to come. My 2 dragged a 25 pound bag of wild bird seed from the kitchen into the dining room, tore it open, drug it around the dining room table to distribute it properly, then used it as a race track to grind it in REAL well into the carpet. All in a 20 minute period.

    We were laughing so loud and long the next door neighbor came over to see what was so funny. They of course failed to see the hilarity, and made a comment about how "those damn dogs really are wild"!!:p

    Yep, the poop will be a pretty speckled color:D. Easier to find amongst the brown autumn leaves on the ground in the back yard!!


  • as long as they don't start to "sing"….

    ..or fly..or lay eggs..

    Snorky998, I laughed so hard when I read your dogs handiwork…too funny.


  • Oh boy… haha. Gotta love how persistent these Basenjis can be. 😃


  • Who knows Petra, Otis may start to make some sounds now like "chirp yodel tweet baroo".

    I gotta find those pictures!! In the mean time, best wishes to you getting that seed out of the couch:D and hope the higher fiber seed snack doesn't wake you up in the middle of the night for the 2 a.m. emergency poop:eek:


  • Too funny, great photos of "basenji caught in the act"!

    Good luck with the clean-up!


  • I think Petra has some pictures for the "Basenjis Gone Bad" calendar. :D:D


  • My lenny has stolen a bag of bird seed from outside on the deck and eaten most of it. why???? no idea.

    just wait till you see the little bird seed covered turds that are gonna come out the other end!

  • Houston

    You know the seeds are coming through when your kid screams…"mom the dogs pooped chocolate chip cookie dough..how weird.."

    Jepp, it is coming through..


  • If someone said to me "Dan 35 years from now another Basenji owner in Texas will be talking about her problem with her B pooping bird seed filled cookies on a computer". I would have replied "you better get help with that drug problem".

  • Houston

    Hahahaha..we have to laugh about it..right?


  • My B's love bird seed also, my ****aktiel chucks it out and they eat it up, it seems to come out the other end the same as it went in 😃

    Great pics!


  • @Basenjimamma:

    Hahahaha..we have to laugh about it..right?

    Exactly! Petra and Otis rock! 😃

  • Houston

    Well, thank you..;)


  • @nobarkus:

    Exactly! Petra and Otis rock! 😃

    That wasn't meant that we want to see Otis get into things that could make him sick or hurt by any means or anybody's Basenji for that matter. We just love ya all! 😃

  • Houston

    I am sure Otis will do anything in his power to not let you down..that is just how he is wired..and we love it that way.


  • What great pictures - no, you aren't the most irresponsible B owner - we all have stories - like for instance, Shaye totally broke and ruined my husband's transition lens glasses on Monday - he left them on the table on the porch - where, of course, they were reachable! the frames were bent, the plastic ends were chewed off, the lenses were all scratched up from teeth. He was going to yell at Shaye, but I headed him off - after all, by now we should know to keep things out of reach!

  • Houston

    Shaye'smom.

    Sorry about his glasses…but if those were my husbands glasses I would've done the same thing..headed the yelling off, after all
    "you left them within reach"..my husband hates when I say that..LOL.

    Yep, like me a week ago distracted by a UPS package on the porch and not looking to see if the gate was closed, letting Buddy out without a collar. :eek:
