The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June 😞
B's in doggie daycare?
-
Jackpot goes to doggie day care several times a week. He LOVES it & they really seem to like him. Since he started going (he was their first Basenji) there are 2 other B's there now! They are definately the "cool kids" on he playground
LOLOur daycare has webcams set up so that we can watch Jackpot anytime (at work I log in & can watch him run around like a maniac). They do "interviews" with new dogs & have them interact with 2 different dogs (one of the same sex & one of the opposite sex) before determining if they are behaviorally appropriate for day care. Jackpot gets used as an "interviewer dog" now when they bring in new dogs.
I think daycare has been a godsend for us! When he comes home he's exhausted & we get to have a little break. Its fabulous!

oh and about the pomeranians…Jackpot hates them too! We have a little black pom who lives a few doors down from us named Tank. Jackpot & Tank DO NOT get along! LOL

I had our dog in daycare a bit when he was a pup, so he could have an outlet for all that energy. now that he's a few yrs old, we simply can't afford it. We have a toddler in full time daycare, and around here, doggy daycare costs about the same, so now we pay a neighbor to come over daily and spend some time w/ him.

I took Zoe to a kindergarten obedience class and she got bored so she walked around behind me and took all the pages off the bulletin board. The trainer said she was a bad influence on the other students.

Dear BDawg
I don't want to offend you, but this picture makes my heart stop. It's how my darling puppy Leki died…please. please, don't let the dogs wear their collars when they're playing like this...I hope I haven't offended you, but with the memory of Leki, I had to post this... -
QuizBasenji I had a bit of a fright at the dog park the other day, a dog was playing with Kaiser and suddenly grabbed him by the collar and started to twist and shake him by it, as I try to keep a close eye on him I was able to step in straight away(the owner was also quick to see) but it could of ended so badly if I hadn't been watching or close by, dog was slighter bigger than him. Haven't had any other dogs do that before so his collar came off while that dog was there and they left soon after as their dog just kept stalking Kaiser. Always take his tags off so he doesn't get caught up but am now going to take his collar off all the time as if it had been a bigger dog I think some damage would have been done, it really scared me as not only can they get caught up on a collar, a dog can also grab your dog by it. Good on you for saying something as we just don't realise how fast things can go wrong.

I just don't want anyone to lose a dog like I lost Leki - neurogenic pulmonary oedema can happen with shock, smoke inhalation….all sorts. Let's keep our beloveds safe...

I don't keep a collar on Ava unless I'm walking her. Poor Leki's tragic accident is similar to what happened to two Goldens who lived down the street from me. They were in the backyard playing while their owners were away, and the whole block knew immediately that it was awful.
This is an old thread, but there's some good info in it. Doggie daycare has been a lifesaver for me. It gives Ava an outlet for her endless energy and is good for socialization. She is a friendly girl who likes everybody– human, canine and feline. I take turns handing her off to everyone there, and so far, she'll go right to them with a hello lick. I want her to know that people are good and she can trust them. Hopefully, it will always be that way!
