He wants what he wants. 🙂 And that chair does look comfy!

Oh, I love this! Every description I read makes me more proud to have my B in my life. I hadn't seen that one before. 🙂

Also, that egg… makes me want to try this with Penny, but I'm assuming that one was hardboiled. I'm always looking for more ideas for her. She figured out the laser pointer was a hoax in under 5 minutes.

Hey eeeefarm, read that article you shared via link…..very interesting and enlightening! when one reads about spindle cells and the amygdala, one has to consider emotions to some degree in animals across the board! don't know about trees etc....???? 'nother forum ????

Thanks, yes he did!!!! got a whole new set of toys and shared some treats with the daycare gang!

With a basenji it doesn't necessarily need to be separation anxiety. They do this stuff out of boredom too. Taking him for a long walk or doing something else to tire him out could help a lot…....a tired basenji is a good basenji. On saying that, our little one didn't get better about all this chewing, tearing, etc. until we got her a companion when she was 9 months old. Worked like a charm to have another dog in the house.

We have a lot more time now that they are done showing. We do the fun stuff in the Nov-April time frame when its cool enough to race and course. If I'm lucky we get a weekend off every 6 weeks during that time frame. In the summer we stay home and train for indoor sports like rally, barn hunt and agility.

I give the deglycyrrhized root kind. It is chewable and I cut it in half and give it to my dog about 1/2 hour before feeding. He does not chew it as I give it to him like a regular pill. I believe the brand is Natural Factors and comes in a bottle of 90 tablets.

Here is the company website for the product: http://naturalfactors.com/products/detail/4463/dgl-licorice-chewable-tablets

@DebraDownSouth:

Sorry but I did nothing, and the likelihood of my ignoring a personal attack any time a year are close to zero.

😉 Who would have guessed that? Hope everyone has a great Christmas. 🙂

In our house, Sable, our Shiba Inu is the time keeper. When she thinks it is time to go out she comes to me, sits directly in front of me and barks, not stopping until I ask if she wants to go out whereupon she dashes to the back door and leads the B's on the mad dash up the hill. LOL, when Sable says it is time to go out everybody goes out, no arguements.

It is not crazy at all!!!

What is more beautifull to see and keep our beloved friend close to us?
We can remember their great time with us..

We called our ship and company after my very first own dog Spranky…
So are we crazy too? 😃

don't mind at all, thanks for sharing!!!:D

Wow! thanks so much for all those stories and confessions….!:o Now I know more.....Yes, we have to be smarter than the B to live with one....

Love it. Great stay.

Basenjis have been my DRUG of choice for years. I am totally hooked..

Oatmeal in the ground beef will be great, did you find 'satin balls' here, if not I have the recipe. Rich, but if a dog tolerates it they will gain weight!

He looks right at home! Congrats! 🙂

I wouldn't worry about him being a try-ing Basenji….yet. Paco's a tri and he's an absolute angel as long as he's been walked. 😉

Wow, I just viewed the coyote roller, thanks Ivoss, that is good info! Thanks to all who have extended your condolences. And mine go out to any and all who have had their 'furbaby' travel the Rainbow Bridge. We all do miss them, this I know….:( Buddy's Pal

@svdreamer:

We had a Basenji when I was a child. This was in 1964 that we brought him home. He lived 13 years. Jodi cried real tears twice. Once after his pancreatic surgery and he came home after being at the vets for a week. Once after my mom came home after being in the hospital for 5 days. He had tears running down his face. He would baroo when happy to see us or we were getting ready to take him on a walk, grumble under his breath when corrected, snarl at people he did not like (almost everyone not family), howl when left alone, talk to us to get our attention, and learned to bark, once, when he saw something that really excited him. For a supposedly quiet dog, he sure made some noise! I loved that dog so much and to this day, I miss him terribly.

What a lovely story, thanks for sharing.
