Pippin and the stolen butter knife…
-
Exactly my thoughts Patty… "A Proper Basenji"!!!!
-
On the table.."the basenji in it's natural habitat"
-
haha, yes that is what I told my hubby.."honey…we have a very normal basenji on our hands.."
-
What a little stinker…and such a sweet face. You can't hardly be mad at him when he looks at you like that, can you!
-
haha, yes that is what I told my hubby.."honey…we have a very normal basenji on our hands.."
Just want to make one little suggestion…. if you are really thinking about showing, you need to take off his collar in the house or secure yard time... collars on show dogs break the hair and leave marks.... just something to think about as to get all that to grow back can take months
-
well if you didn't want him to take that knife, why did you put all that yummy butter on it???

Tanza, thank you so much for saying that..I have been wondering that myself..I especially like the way he looks without a collar, his long neck is so elegant..It will come off of him right now.
AgileB..right..I had after all seasoned it up for him..:)

ROFLMAO, omg how cute. In the 4th pic he seems to be watching out the corner of his eye in disbelief.. WHAT? NO MORE CHASING ME?
LOL normal basenji, normal kids with laziness.

I totally gave up on collars after my less than 12 month old b puppy Zest got her mouth caught on the first malinois' collar twice in about 2-3 months.
-
Yes it was very thoughtful of you to butter the knife. He knew you did it just for him.
-
Oh my goodness, Kipawa is Pippin's twin! :)
I too have a pre-dishwasher. You can imagine what they are thinking - why are you putting these perfectly tasty dishes away! And we too put the cat food on the dining table. But so far Kipawa has not figured out how to get up there - we keep the chairs pushed right in, so he has no easy access.
What self respecting dog would pass up a buttered wooden knife! Good for you, Pippin!
-
You are such a good B mom! Running around with your camera to catch all the naughty moments and share them with us!
I love Pippin! What a great little guy :)

Cute pics :) My B does the same thing waits in line to get to "prewash" the dishes LOL
-
haha, jepp he is normal alright…the chairs should be pushed in, but anyone with kids know "should" is not in their vocabulary...I was shocked..yesterday after that table incident he got up there 5 more times..he pushes the chairs out and then gets on them...too fr--k'n smart..
Janneke, I try to please ;):D..no kidding aside I love taking pictures and what better subject to take them on than a puppy..:) -
Too cute, Petra! That face is how they get us trained, you know.
And yes, now that we are more confident about the kids knowing where they live and not trying to escape, we leave collars off too. They were getting 'hat head', only it was 'collar neck…' Of course, it makes it more difficult to catch them when they're looking for trouble - oh wait, that's pretty much all the time, huh?Terry

Exactly my experience too!!! And my Mickii could get a collar in her mouth in 10 seconds, 20 seconds if it was her own collar. I really had no choice once Mickii came home, she would eat off anyone collar… including but not limited to the yarn around puppy necks.... :cool:

My basenjis always try to chew each others collars and hold onto the other dogs on the few occasions they are on (usually right before or after an outing before I get them off). But knowing not one but TWO people who lost dogs who got their jaws stuck in another dog's collar (one dog broke its jaw and died, the other strangled the dog it was stuck too), I haven't left dogs in collars in probably 18 yrs. My dogs are chipped, usually also tattooed, so I save collars for outings only.
Okay so I thought of this thread yesterday. Sigh. Arwen is a toy gutter. For 8 yrs no dog here could have stuffies out because she grabs and guts. Sayblee had some in her crate. But Cara loves them and I spend half my life picking up guts, stuffing them back in, sewing up it seems. Yesterday I bought 4 new toys. WHILE I WAS IN THE KITCHEN MAKING TEA Arwen gutted 2 of them, and one squeaker missing. I was furious, actually yelled at her. Then I thought of this thread and thought… she's a basenji. I have to say I hate that behavior though.

I have a toy gutter, too. And a collar eater.
Arrow is my gutter, so stuffed toys aren't around here much. Plus, they usually don't get to even keep their own in their runs - all it takes is for someone to let it get too close to the edge, and toys, cuddlers, whatever, gets stolen by the dogs next door - who then eventually lose it to the ones next to them, and on and on. Arrow thinks it works out well as she's in the last run!
Myra ate 3 collars, so Bruce couldn't wear one. However, she stole the puppies' stuffed toy from their run and just plays with it, doesn't even try to tear it up!
