Pippin and the stolen butter knife…

  • Pippin is soooo cute!!!!

    I spent some time just last night, sewing up toys!!!! it's cheaper than buying new ones but once they are empty of their stuffing, they aren't as much fun to destroy!!!

    I love having proper bs!!!!

    The only good thing about my pack..they actually play with the animal "skins"..I think even better than when they were stuffed..so we have millions of them roaming around in their toy basket and outside..My biggest gutter is Gus, the doxie..he has to get the squeeker out, absolutely has to..so I have been buying stuffed animals at Ikea for them and they live longer now..I guess because no squeeker is antagonizing them.


  • LOL, my daughter didn't learn at first, so we told her (after her eyeglasses)… they eat it, it comes out of your allowance. Yep, week later it ate her tooth retainer... $150 to replace. Husband let her pay half her allowance til it was paid off (I'd have done whole thing for nearly 4 mos!), but she learned to keep it in it's case on a shelf and her bedroom door shut.


  • Oh goodness, mine have always played with the skins after "de-stuffing"…. and in fact they make the greatest baby puppy toys.. and when dirty, into the washer..


  • You gotta love em otherwise you will skin them

  • Houston

    You gotta love'em otherwise you'll skin them

    this is awesome and so true..my new motto..


  • Even after the years we've had Basenjis we do still make the mistake of leaving objects around - we get complacent because the glasses etc. have been ok for some time - well that is until the chewing happens!


  • Yeah mine play after they are destuffed, but Cara (and Sayblee before her) get great joy from squeezing which they no longer do.


  • Amen to glasses… after each of us lost 2 pairs each... and had "ear" pieces replaced and the "bent" part fixed... I was thinking the other day... hey... have not lost a pair of glasses in quite a while.... That was the kiss of death!!!!!!!!!!!!


  • @tanza:

    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

    I never leave my boy's collar on for more than ten minutes at a time if he's outside. Soon as he comes through the door, he knows to wait 'cause the collar comes off. It always does.

    He makes me laugh with his, "I wasn't born with that thing around my neck" look.


  • Five sets of earphones!!!! gone. On average, once a week!!, You would think I learned the first time… the say humans are the only species that will trip on the same rock twice!!!!


  • Awwww!! He is SOOO adorable! I love the close up of that innocent face and the one of him on the top of his crate. :)
    The rest are all so funny, too.

    Thank you DexterDex..:)

    @tanza: Sounds like it went well! And keep in mind, the handler can always request from the judge that they show the bite. I have never found a judge that refused that request. I never request… I just put my hands on the mouth and lift the lips before the judge asks... no one has ever said a word to me about it. Usually they just thank me for being so efficient! It is something that will settle him down if you are working with him on a table and checking his bite daily... then he knows you will do it and it won't bother him. Also let others check his teeth and give him a treat... makes it all fun for them!

    More lovely pictures and what a clever boy he is. It looks as the crate problem is getting easier - how about a trade? - Tough love for crate and soft love for your chair?!
