Stay Cool!

  • Seattle was cold and dark all June it seems.

    But the sky is clear blue and the temps are soaring into the 90s now.

    Shaun prefers it cooler.

    I have been giving him ice cubes to play with but they keep melting…

  • It's been in the 90's here in Ohio the last few days and my bud could care less about ice cubes…I wish he would...water and play at the same time. Mostly he just bothers me to go out to chase the bunnies in the yard and expects a full water dish when he comes in. I'd put a water bowl outside for him but the way my house and his 40' lead are situtated...he just knocks it over every time I've tried (no fence). So, he goes out back, chases the bunnies, and I fill up his water bowl for when he comes in...it works for us.:)

    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    My old man did not deal with Boise winters. I went to the the salvation army and bought him a little kids hoodie. He liked it and was never bothered by the hood occasionally falling over his head. He learned to flip it back.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    The only alcohol Ruby tried, was she licked some red wine out of my glass…did not like it at all. In fact, immediately after she licked it she made a really funny face, stood up straight on her hind legs and started boxing in the air (she was acting a bit drunk because it was so crazy). It was hilarious and my comment to my father, was "if she acts that way after one sip, just think what would happen if she drank the whole glass :D". I've since offered her a sip of red wine and she won't come anywhere near it.
