Who says I'm not supposed to bark!

  • ?

    Sonny went to the vet last night for his yearly check-up. He does not like the vets office at all! But he especially does not like the vet herself. She's actually a very nice lady but to Sonny she is not a friend :( While we were sitting in the exam room waiting for her, Sonny was laying at my feet looking out the door. When the vet walked by the door the 1st time he let out a loud BARK! :eek: and he continued to bark everytime she passed the door for the next 10 minutes. Off course the whole vet staff found this to be hysterical. next thing we knew he had an audience outside the exam room waiting to hear the "barkless" basenji BARK :p… and I must admit Sonny has a very funny sounding bark so it is amusing......when she came in the room to examine him he put on his tough guy attitude for about 30 seconds and then decided to just let her do her thing so we could get the hell outta there! :)

    I love it. Jaycee says nothing just shakes and Jayden just loves vet and everyone there from people to four legged friends. We have great vet she is really good with both of the B's.

    If your vet is nice, you can fix this. :)

    Take Sonny by the vet a couple of times a week if you can and just leave the vet his fave treats. She can pop him one, you leave. After a few times, he will associate her with good. :)

    Does Sonny boof (single bark) or repeat barking? Cara BOOFS a lot. BOOF….. Boof.... Boof.

    Usually he lets out a double bark….if it's because he's excited -then its often a single bark followed by some singing :p

    Oh! It's a baby b! Ugh. Wish you'd told me that before I looked. I've got a bad case of puppy fever.

    Shaye's MomS
    @Kona: Shaye's Mom - That's what I was worried about too with getting a second one, but since we got to do a trial run with Keoki I was able to calm my fears. He is so calm and trustworthy, but he is also 6 years old. Yes, I understand Keoki and Kona are doing really well - wish I'd been at West Park the day you went over - unfortunately, Shaye had been spayed the Friday before, so we missed you, and them. We have been talking with a woman who has a 7 year old Jack Russell female - of course we were going to get her dog almost a year ago, before we got Shaye, and it fell through because she changed her mind, so, who knows, but Shaye really really needs another dog, I think - older, more calm.:rolleyes:

    Sounds like a heavenly environment for pups! Yeah, I don't think I'd like to have my b named after a cut of meat either :rolleyes: We named Fiji to sound like her previous name Weegee and she adapted easily. If we bring Peanut home he may become Pinot. Red wine, red dog, y'know ;)

    Oh WOW, you guys are sooooo helpful. Thanks DDS for the link, that was especially helpful. I'm just intrigued with this breed for some reason, and I'm not sure why. Reading what all of you have to say is better that the typical things that you read on the computer. They all just repeat the same thing over and over where as all of you can give me personal experiances. I know all puppies are a lot of hard work, but compared to other dog (which I see some of you have had other breeds) are they actually a lot tougher? All pups like to chew and get into trouble but are they especially hard to train. Lets say with housebreaking and such? Oh and for all of you that have cats too, do they stay out of the kitty box or are the prone to make there way there, if you catch what I'm saying. I read they they are very clean and often times will clean themselves like a cat does. Really? And they are aloof like cats? Soooo much info and I would rather hear all of this from you than get false info. HELP!!
