š For the most part the only toys that hold up in my house are kongs, the "plush" toys made for dogs who destroy do last for a few weeks, but thats about it. I get the "mean kitty" and "mad cow" dolls for them every so often, and there are these wabba toys that you can get that are made from recycled firehose material. They all have fun chewing and chasing these toys. I have a couple of "tough dog" toys that are sorta like fabric frisbees, that have lasted for almost a year! the squeekers have since died in both of them, but the pups still like to tug them around, and have me throw them. I keep a lot of recreational bones and such available in the house, and some cow hooves which take them awhile to chew on. But its hard to find good bones for them because they can not be beef. If I get them without any marrow, or any meaty material than we can have them, but otherwise we have to steer clear because my Masi is allergic to beef. So when I get marrow bones, I actually take all the marrow out, and wash the bones before they get them. It's sorta sad really, she loves them so much!

nice story AND Pen is Zest's littermate.

Great find.

Wow, I hadn't even thought about animals being stuck in Europe. Here's hoping they all make it back/to their homes.

Small world! How cool to read about Zest's brother in the WSJ !
Dr. Wolf, of Air Animal, used to be the only vet in Tampa open on late Saturday and we took our first basenji to him many years ago, before he started Air Animal.
I would have had to drive across the alps too if one of mine was stranded, I'm sure we all would! -
yea, i sometimes go to google news and type in "basenji" just to see what comes up. I did that last night and this article came up, but it was late and i didn't read it then, figuring I'd save it for the morning. Before I got around to reading it today, I saw where Peg Grundman emailed the same link to me with a note saying Zest's littermate was Pen, the basenji in the attached article. I had no idea. Like Kipawa I'd never thought about the animals being stranded due to flight problems.

How randomā¦Basenjis and volcanos. Thanks for sharing.
