Why have the thyroid checked if they bite?
Bisa who will be 4 yrs old Christmas Day will growl, raise those hairs along her back, and show her teeth; sometimes tho she just 'goes after' whoever/whatever is irking her if they move too fast [ie: the GKs are playing with each and get too close to where she is laying].
Bisa liked our oldest son's mini beagle when Ginger was alive; got along great BUT she does NOT like the full bred AKC Australian Shepard pup they now have [now 8 mos old and she still goes after it!].
Bisa also growls and snaps at our grandkids [also see note above]. She has always been like this but it seems to be getting worse, hence my interest in doggie daycare and the suggestion of the thyroid being tested.
We board Bisa at the vets' office we take her to; began going to a new one recently due to being more convenient for me and has been an excellent place for her. Now looking at doggie daycare to socialize Bisa with other dogs/people. Went to a place recently to talk to the owner of it/the kennel/grooming shop she runs but haven't heard back from her after I called the other day. Was to take Bisa next week …
Bisa LOVES to cuddle underneath a blanket! She will paw the threads out of one to get under it with you! LOL
I know of a couple in Emlenton who have a Basenji [sadly the oldest passed away recently]. We had a good time swapping 'unique' stories last time I saw them at their business. :p)
Bisa does that too … LOVES the crook of my legs when I lay on my side!
I wanted to get Roo but I have a couple family members that have been ill and don't want to have to board a newly arrived furry friend. So … we will wait to adopt again.
Oh yeah … forgot the one where she will get the food off the counter or table if she can!
Yes … toilet paper, used kleenix out of the baskets, towels and underwear on the cellar floor near the washer as you sort through your laundry, tries to run with a blanket she wants ... Yep ... Bisa is one of those mischievous ones too! LOL
