Garbage Dog

Basenji Talk
  • AJs HumanA

    Aj has been so good about staying out of the trash I didn't even think about the leftovers from dinner two nights ago when I got out of the truck. I had the trash bag between the driver seat and the door. Yesterday, I left AJ in the truck to take care of some business inside our terminal. I was gone about 45 minutes.

    Well, when I opened the door…you guessed it...food boxes all over the driver side floor and not a scrap of leftovers left over. Even the bag was licked clean.:eek: AJ, knowing he had gotten into something he shouldn't have, ran back into the sleeper berth area, jumped on the bed and made himself as small as he could, crying the whole time.

    I couldn't get him in serious trouble because it was partly my fault for leaving the very tempting garbage. He already felt bad about it anyway. Still, I can't just let him get away with it. I ended up scolding him and leaving it at that.

    He slept so well with that very full tummy that he snored so loud I had to push him a couple times to quiet him. Since he ate all that food, he has had to poop five times. I would, too...that was a lot of food even for me.

    Today, he has a case of the toots from all the green beans he ate yesterday. Each time he lets one, he looks behind himself to see where the noise came from.:rolleyes: Hopefully, he gets over this soon. He might have to sleep on the catwalk tonight!

    Trash will henceforth be removed as soon as I am near receptacle.

    Cheers!

    Wow - I'm still laughing! Never trust your basenji :D

    The 'good' smell was to much for poor AJ. What else could he do? :rolleyes:

    Perfect! With all the consequences… :cool: Would like to see a pic of your face when you found it out (and of the bugged expression at night, because of the snoring and pooping :p )

    Did he get any pumpkin pie for dessert? That would at least make all that garbage come out firm.

    No pumpkin pie…but there was cheese on that spaghetti. I think that's what kept him from having the runs. He sure has had a lot to get rid of today, though! :D

    It's winter but the windows will have to come down a bit after each toot. And I don't mean toot of the truck horn either. :D

    I am so glad that You, your husband and Cricket are OK. You're lucky the bull mastiff did not attack your husband, Im surprised he did not, actually. I have had this happen to me so many times to our dogs. Thankfully it always ends up bad for the other dog/dogs. They go into fight mode right away, which does not make them great at meeting other dogs, but after this happening so many times, I don't trust the other dogs either. If I just have one dog with me, I scoop him up in my arms and that has worked well so far.

    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

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.
