Garbage Dog

Basenji Talk
  • 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

  • How funny..mainly because it wasn't my dog for once…haha. Of course also because I can imagine the toot smell in that cabin..so confined, nowhere to go to get away..

    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

  • Mine would have been in that garbage 2 minutes after you let go of it! I laughed at the image of that stuffed little dog snoring away, haha!

  • I'm still LMAO- I can definitely picture it-especially after Shadow ate 4 pizza buns one time!

  • Funny,
    I keep our house picked up better now that I have 3 B's, they get into everythiong. Thank you for sharing.

  • Awww! He's just trying to get attention;) I have the same issue with the snoring. Never had it with the last B boy. Arleigh is easier too stop than my last boyfriend!!!!:D

  • I just laughed my head off with the mind bubble this gave me. :D

  • This was hilarious! Mine is crazy about butter. One time he at 1/2 of a stick in one swallow! YUCK. Anyone else have this issue.

  • Otis is crazy about butter too. He has stolen a total of two and a half sticks now ..he loves it, then again, Otis loves anything his momma eats..

    @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.

    When Cory and Jayden get into something special (in their eyes) that they suspect they aren't supposed to have, they go and hide in a chair so they can examine it and chew it in private. There is no "Let's go show Mom!". Often Cory will rat Jayden out. She will make such a fuss that I've learned to recognize her "tattling" ruckus. If I want to get on the computer, I have to secure them in the room with me or put them outside. If not, Jayden WILL find something for them to get into. He is tall for a basenji and I swear he can use his front paws like hands! Pat

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!
