Do B's COOK??

Basenji Talk
  • :eek: My basenjis are cooks!!

    After our walk this morning my husband fed the little monsters & then he left them in the kitchen & went to work. I am usually done getting ready for work about 15-20 minutes after he leaves. I keep a baby monitor on just to listen for mischief in the kitchen.

    This morning it was WAAY too quiet :confused: so I went down before I was done just to check in on them. And what do I find????…the OVEN door is opened up & the stove top pilot was ON :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: These little brats could have set our kitchen on fire! :mad: :mad: Either that or they were trying to bake a cake!

    Of course they were quietly sitting near the gate when they heard me coming down the stairs pretending they had nothing to do with this. But the evidence proved otherwise...teeth marks on the stove top knobs & teeth marks on the side of the oven door. YUP THEY WERE GUILTY AS CHARGED!!

    Does this mean I can't leave them unsupervised for a MINUTE??:mad:

  • OMG! I can't believe it…I've heard of Border Collies opening the fridge and stuff...but WOW! Thank goodness all was okay...

  • Their little basenji brains made the stove=food connection. Pretty clever. But their plans were foiled when they figured out that you gotta put something in there to make good stuff come out. That's step two and you can bet they're working on that one!

    This made me laugh LOL LOL :D…despite my anger!

    Truth is I can't stay mad at them for long.

  • Oh my gosh! I read this and laughed (and covered Stormie's eyes so he doesn't get any ideas! haha!). What smart critters you've got JYS! Loved the story!! :D

  • It is amazing how smart they are, but I worry that not only could the house have burned, but they may have been hurt as well. Anyone of us who has kids knows it can take just a millisecond. (I guess we all have our B kids.) When things are just too quiet, I go hunting too!

    @DebraDownSouth: Great pictures. :( Krunzer, as the aunt of a niece with Downs Syndome, who has served on coalitions for and MHMR boards, I do want to say the use of "retarded" as a slur is really offensive. I cringe over that use as much as I do the "that's gay" comments, or "Jew down on the price" etc. It's just hurtful. And btw, not singling you out and I have also used words common (like gyped and Indian giver) before I really thought about the connection. Just wanted to share my response, not meant as any type of insult to you personally. I am sorry I guess I just did not think when I was writing it. Thank you for pointing it out and I will try to be more courteous in the future. Sometimes things just come out of my mouth(or typing) and I don't think of the connotations first, I really need to try to be more diplomatic on here and in every day life! :)

    I wish they could go everywhere with me but I couldn't imagine trying to get them on a plane. We are going to lake Erie in a couple week for a long weekend and they are coming with us. This campground is very dog friendly, this is the campground's annual halloween party before shutting down for the winter. Everyone is asking us to bring our dogs and of course they will be dressed up in costumes. After that we are taking a week to go to Cancun. Dog's can't go but will staying with a friend that has 1 acre fenced and her 3 dogs and mine were practically raised together. So we call it a sleepover. Everyone plays until exhaused so not a lot of time to get into trouble. I will miss them while I'm gone but know they are in great hands with my friend.

    @Nemo: I think Jon Curby (from the US) was one of the judges. Cool. I noticed that!

    When I gave EL D his birthday (Dec 21) / Christmas presents (several stuffed toys and some treats) he had such fun tearing open the wrapping. And even more fun tearing out the squeekies :) He had one toy torn apart before he even opened some of the other presents!

    Mine want to sleep on long, rainy days…..like today. Once they have their first potty of the day and realize it's a downpour day, their whole demeanor changes, and it's a slow-moving, sleepy day all day.
