Cara and Arwen Jan 2012


  • I haven't shared many pictures lately, but I got some today because the Salmon Ears finally came. So I took pics off the camera to share. Lots of pics, hope they load.

    Don't laugh, you're next.

    Obligatory torture.

    Drama poses while I soak her glands.

    What are fish ears?


  • I think I heard Debra mention them before…. I think it's dried fish skins...

  • First Basenji's

    oohhhh sounds tasty! But not for me of course hahah!

  • First Basenji's

    Ha! Cute. I almost want to reach out and rub that exposed tummy. Thank you for not sharing pictures of the actual glands-soaking. =)

    Those salmon ears look really good. I saw the website for them that you linked on another thread. May I ask about how many "ears" come in the package? Our pups have enjoyed salmon skin rolls from another company (http://www.snack21treats.com/), but I like the shape of these 'ears' better and would like to try them out.


  • LOL these are salmon skin but he also has cod. I may try those next but it was so funny to see how utterly happy they were. I was also concerned they would suck one down fast, but they are dried so they had to work at it.


  • I had emailed that salmon ear company asking about shipping to Canada and they did not get back to me yet. Are you friends with the owner of the company DebraDS?


  • I know the "ears" are not really ears, but I get a visual of salmon with elf ears sticking out of their heads - funny. The pictures are great, thanks for sharing.


  • They look happy with their chews, that's for sure! Nice pictures. (have they destroyed that green plush toy yet?)

    I have known the owner almost 16 yrs, learned everything I know about natural feeding from him. I actually left you a message in your messages yesterday I think? about this because I did ask him and he is willing to try to get them to you.


  • LOL long story short on the frog– I thought my daughter meant they could have it, she was horrified but didn't want it back after dog spit. Her dad says too cute to give to the dogs. She is now studying in France, lol, so going to give it a couple of weeks (it is sitting on my entertainment center) and tell her either I wash it and she keeps it or the dogs get the joy of gutting it.

    I left you a message as well, I hope I did it correctly.


  • Great pictures. They obviously love the Salmon Ears. I love the expressions when thye're eating them!


  • Debra, thanks for sharing these pictures - I don't think I have seen happier dogs! So nice to see pics of Cara and Arwen - they are lovely b's.

    Do those salmon ears smell funky when they get chewed and slobbered on? How fast does one last? I might place an order. I have a post office box in the U.S. - we are about a 7 minute drive from the border.


  • Great pictures…

    Lovely girls :D


  • Yep– you did fine and I left you his email.

    They smell like what they are-- salmon. Since I love salmon I don't mind. The bad part is they know where I have them in a closed plastic storage box and Cara got ON THE KITCHEN TABLE trying to get to the shelf, lol.

    They last about as long as the chicken jerky treats but I am giving the a big one. I have not used the chips yet (they are about 2 inches to 3 inches square). The big ones they tear pieces off, crunch, swallow and on to next piece. I wouldn't know how they smell wet as by then they are down the gullet, lol. I guess I should video them eating one. Arwen just goes into ecstasy.

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    Nice looking dog! I'm tempted to get another too once Safi is a bit older.
