Squirrel, Interrupted


  • My mother says basenjis go with any decor. I suppose she is right! This is Curie, looking askance at me for interrupting her important squirrel watching. I will post a picture of Will soon; he's still nervous about the camera, so none of the pictures of him actually include, well, him. (He dashes out of the frame.)


  • Listeme,

    Where in Virginia are you? Great to see another Virginia person, I am in Chesapeake.

    Cute pillow you have on top of the chair!

  • Yeah, she's a wiggly little pillow :).

    I'm up in Centreville, which is in Fairfax County (the DC suburbs, in other words.)

    We're the only basenjis we see around here. One time a couple of teenaged boys asked me if Curie was a FOX!


  • ChaseandZahrasmom, I go to Ches. all the time, I live in Eliz. City, NC. My doctor, dentist and my favorite shopping is in VA. I go there at least 3 times a month, I have appts. there this week. We should get our babies together some time, there is only 1 other B in Eliz. City. I think it would be great if we could do this. What do u think?:D

    Definetly! The only day I am not free is Wednesday evening. There is a couple great dog parks here.

    I don't know how the private contacting thing works on here, contact me and we can exchange information.

    Have you been to Care a Lot Pet Supply in Virginia Beach? Where do you like to shop while you are up here?

    Listeme,

    What did B tear up in your Avator (I think that is what they are called) photo?

  • A Scrabble board!

    Scrabble is another obsession of mine (I'm a tournament player), so it seems fitting to use this picture as my avatar.

    I swear she tries to figure out how to play:

    She definitely hits the buttons on the clock. They're timed games.


  • :) :) :) Fantastic dog !!!

    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!

    @elbrant Yes, she's good an patient sometimes, I've been taking pics of her from day 1 so she's used to it, I'm allowed a couple of mins and no more though.
