Site w/b stuff that helped rescue

Off Topic

  • I ordered a stuffed basenji from Total Basenjis, www.totalbasenji-osh.com
    I was surprised when I opened the box and she had sent me 2 stuffed dogs.:eek:
    One which I had paid for, and one for me to get to BRAT to help basenji rescue.:)
    I have to say, as kind as this woman is, her stuffed b's are wonderful as well.
    So, if you want to buy something from Donna Troyna, please thank her for helping b's who are not her own.
    Tell her Sharron said hi!


  • Oh good Lord! I want one. No wait, I want a real one. I showed this picture to my husband and he reminded me that we have a moratorium on buying any more stuffed animals. We've got far too many stuffed red and white cats that resemble my special cat Barney. Oh, and he is special. I ask him to sit and he will. I place my palm in front of his face, as a request to get him to concentrate. Then I place my open palm in front of his front legs. He 'shakes a paw' then, all of this with only sight commands. I have also trained my cats to obey when I snap my fingers. If they are doing something they shouldn't do, I snap my fingers and point away from the area where they are causing the problem. They then go away. Oh, I could go on and on with what I have taught my cats, but this is a basenji forum! :)


  • If you can train a cat, your going to be fine when you get your new b…


  • Donna is AWESOME! She did a bunch of the trophies for last year's National…and she was very, VERY generous to us. Her work is great, and she is just a really good person!


  • Thanks, Sharron. I've done the training with lots of respect for my animals. Their state of mind always comes first. I find that there is the element of 'wanting to please' from them.

    At the Seattle Dog Show I picked up a pair of 'basenji socks' for me. They make me want to run around in capri pants so I can show them off, even though capris and socks are a little odd looking together. :)


  • Quercus, your so very right, re Donna. So very generous.
    Fran, I am at the age where I dress as I please, your still young, but there is nothing like the freedom to know that you can do what you want.
    Laugh.
    At least where clothes are concerned..giggle.


  • ha ha Sharron - I fooled you. I must have been having a good hair day or something. :) 52 comes up this August.


  • No way!!!!!!!!!!!


  • Ms. Sharron…WHERE are the photos of the two new Basenji friends??? Hmmmm???? :D


  • AJ are you speaking of Miss Wheat?


  • AJ, been a long day at work…are you speaking of the two STUFFED basenjis???
    Laugh, I have to have Lisa Voss, bless her heart, help me post photos of Ms Wheat.
    Go to the Website..
    YOU will want one..or 2 or 4..laugh.
    Getting goofie..off post here. hugs.


  • @sharronhurlbut:

    …are you speaking of the two STUFFED basenjis???

    Yes, ma'am, I am…would like to see them hugged up to you, safe and happy until one of them goes to its forever home. :D


  • Heee, well, one of them is in with the other 3 in my display case. The second is on the way to BRAT for the raffel they will have at the convention.
    Such a wonderful surprise for me! and for the next person who gets this "rehomed" stuff b!


  • @Quercus:

    Donna is AWESOME! She did a bunch of the trophies for last year's National…and she was very, VERY generous to us. Her work is great, and she is just a really good person!

    I know she did the puppies, but did she do the embroidered towels too? Those were cool. I particulary like the b/w puppy because it almost has the same markings as Zoni. :)

    O
    I know how you feel. It's horrible to live close to animal neglect. My new next-door neighbors leave their two dogs out 24/7– heat, rain, snow, lightning storm. They have a big fenced yard, but almost no shade. Of course, the dogs bark non-stop. There's no talking to people like that-- I've already been told to mind my own business. Maybe your neighbor will take you up on your offer... but probably not. It's sad.

    I'm in, too. Some are wire haired and others are smooth like a Basenji? Interesting breed.

    @wizard: A lot of people have been protesting against genetically engirneered crops - where's the protest against genetically engineered pets? A little different. People don't (hopefully) eat the genetically engineered pets.:D All kidding aside, IMHO, I do not think that GMO crops should be allowed in the food chain… Back on topic though...I sent this link to a friend of mine (has a LOT of money) telling her she needed the $27,000 cat. :D:D

    Good to know about the Vizslas.. really lovely dogs - I met one at my Vet office the other day and he was a truly stunning dog. The owner told me they are super up for hiking which was a major plus. Gotta love our dogs who keep our toes jumping, heheh! Looove the Shiba-Inu story! I have been wary of the Shibas cause I have met more than a handful - and none of them turned out to be very nice with ppl out side of "their ppl". I was afraid they might be too sensitive for my lifestyle, but they are soooooo pretty!! With those coats! –if you make it over you can bring your BW =) heheh! This is just a random side comment - but in looking at a bunch of different breeders, I'm surprised that so many of them don't describe their dogs temperaments/behaviors etc. They talk about their breeding programs but not much about the dogs - seems like every real Basenji breeder's site has a page devoted to 'WARNING!' curious owners to be.. heheh! although I read this on a Husky breeders site and I had to laugh: "Left unattended for long periods of time can lead them to seeking something to take the place of that lack of attention. They may even tear something up." rephrased in Basenji terms: Left unattended for long or short periods of time will lead them to seeking something to take the place of that lack of attention..They will utterly destroy a variety of objects in your house, this is to be expected. Deal.
