Cosmo smells like…

    …fabric softener... I did the laundry later in the day and put her blanket on it and used it last night... She always bury herself in it to keep super warm and toasty... This morning, when I was playing with her, she smelled kind of fresh and clean... And then realized why... I think she's static-free, too!!! :D:D:D

    Wow, smells good and static free too! That calls for some extra hugs and smooches!

    My rat terrier, Joker, gets very anxious whenever there's a thunderstorm, and starts to shake… and we live in the lightning capital of the US. :) Someone told me to rub his back with a fabric softening sheet, like Bounce... and it was supposed to discharge the static electricity in the air! Well, it didn't really work, but he sure did smell good! :) :)

    @roguecoyote That's funny....just this morning I had Binti out for her first thing in the morning pee and the grass was still wet. She walked a little then went back to the street without peeing. She returned to the grass to pee and when she came back to the street she had to sniff each of her OWN pawprints!!!!! These guys are a crack up!!!!

    My basenji mix Layla loves to run around in very high plants and shrubs like foxtail. Could it be that it reminds her of something similiar like in Africa?

    We have the movie, only because it is about a Basenji, but even my kids {who were raised on old movies} think it's a bit much – the Basenji crying had them giggling out loud. They did all want to smack the kid around for his training techniques though, LOL. Oh, and you're right agile, it's a Warner Brothers movie.

    Where does your basenji like to be rubbed?

    Thanks, Jodie. I don't think Mags gives a rip about the song ("Just rub and scratch, no singing necessary, PLEASE!"), but it makes me feel happy!

    Hi Quercus! Tano's breeder was Maripat Webber of Etukon. I believe both her siblings went on to be show dogs. Tano took after her mom as far as coloring…being the only red and white of the litter. ^_^ I'll push up Tano's appointment for her physical and request the full thyroid thing. If this is all related to thyroid I definitely want to get it looked into asap! Thank you for pointing out that it could all be related! She really develops a thick woolly undercoat in the fall/winter. You'd think the house wasn't near 70 degrees all winter! If her hair was a little longer I could possibly clean it up and felt with it--she sheds that much! :D
