If you have more than one Dog Do they work together to get you up in the Morning?

Basenji Talk
  • My dogs don't sleep with me. They sleep out in the living room. As my guys are older its usually me waking them up. My girl (12yr old) will look at me like do I really have to go outside, you know we have a doggie door I can go whenever. But my husband gets up at 3:30 and leaves the house around 4:00am. He says the dogs sleep right through his leaving the house.

  • That's a good one – ha ha my Basenjis getting me up in the morning!
    NO. Mine are both late sleepers who resent it when I have to get them up before 8 AM.
    If I have to leave the house and so have to put them out to potty and get them fed early, there is much grumbling and complaining. They potty, they eat, they go back to bed.

    On a stay at home day, it is seldom before 8 AM that they even stir in their beds, and often closer to 9AM. And that is with the whole family up and moving about.

  • Mosly Indy and Lori just work together to get in trouble. They have figured out how to get the roll of toilet paper off the holder. Indy will grab the holder and lori the toilet paper and run in opposite directions. Good thing they are only about $1.50 to replace or I would have a pair of basenji skin boots!

    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.

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    It really helped when we got our second dog. We did not have to constantly entertain the first one anymore. They are best buddies to a point. everyone gets a dog to snuggle with in the winter.

    @Vegas: We're all committed to the basenji, because the little tools have a way of capturing our hearts… I think basenji owners are a pretty tight-knit group. The ways basenjis affect our lives are so similar, it's hard to not find something in common with other basenji owners. I think this may be the "same page" Andrea was speaking of!
