C-Me "1"… Squirrel "0"

Basenji Talk
  • @tanza:

    C-Me at 5 months 6 days got her first Squirrel today… Yuk.... and then Franie had to "help".... I was not amused since I have to do the "clean up" ... but that is what they do....

    Nice C-Me! Sometimes the squirrels bate the dogs and don't time the tree distance right.

  • That little tri girl… hahaha

    I'm happy we don't have much squirrels here.. ;)

  • We are over run with squirrels here…. no rabbits... but more then enough other critters...

  • I only have 1 squirrel here-and he stays away. Now, the birds? About a month ago, I was fishing in Sugar's mouth-again. I won. But the birds weren't in good shape.

  • C-me can come visit anytime and get rid of the bushy-tailed tree rats around here! Mine used to chase them as they ran around the fence-top but alas, none ever fell into the yard for them. Now mine are older, would like the squirrel broiled with a nice marsala sauce, if you please.

    Congrats, C-Me!

  • Good for you C-me! No pictures? I guess it all happens so fast. Moses keeps on getting possum babies, not fair, but hey, I can do it if they are in my yard.

    LOL, thanks but I pass on taking pictures of them having a tug-o-war with a half live squirrel….. :eek:

  • Tanza, that is a good point…eeeww!

  • Chief only just recently showed any interest in critter activity. Up until yesterday he would just amble along totally clueless as zoe strained at he leash trying to get some squirrel. Then yesterday a squirrel was in our yard and he half heartly chased it. This morning on our walk he was right there with zoe trying to catch a squirrel. I'm happy they havent caught anything yet not looking forward to when it happens.

  • Benny caught a Bunny today… the Bunny was in the garden, it tried to jump out and Benny ran and caught it mid-air. I grabbed Benny's leash, but it was too late for the Bunny :( .

  • :DLove the adventure stories! Our shepherd mix was set free in the pen before our basenji Kismet and there was a squirrel party going on. Poor Kismet missed the fun since the shepherd Gypsy got there first and killed the squirrel before I could release Kismet. Better luck next time! There is no squirrel shortage here and they clean my bird feeders. I am sure the red tailed hawk likes a nice easy meal too!

  • our garden is loaded with fieldmouses at the moment…. my B's do not care very much but my Ibizan hounds snack them all the time, sometimes they bring one inside for me to have, as a present, and they look quite offended when they notice I throw their delicious present in the garbage can ....

    It looks like "another spammer" hit 8-posts, all about 1-2 minutes apart with the same post on the same day… And where is "Array?" except on the internet? BaMicas mom

    Neither of mine will catch food, it hits them in the face and falls to the floor too. They're both pretty good at catching toys when I tell them to but do get bored with that game rather qiuckly.

    Basenji seem to be the masters of the non-verbal put down. And I also agree with Basenji Boy's comment, reminds of that bumper sticker: the more I know of people, the better I like my dog. What is the correct plural of Basenji? 'Basenjis' or 'Basenji'? A Yodel of Besenjis?

    If I put my arm around Nika when we're on the couch and my hand rests on her leg, she'll lick my hand for 10 minutes.

    Hmmm, I wonder if we got Joey and Jazzy together, if their pups would be laid back? Joey is pretty calm compared to most bs that I have heard of or seen.

    Sahara does not like the dark either, I have to go out with her for her evening potty runs. She gets out there and if I am there she will go in the front or back, but will look around the side of the house to make sure I am still there. She is so funny.
