Basenjis are perpetual two year olds. If your attention is on anything that is not them, they feel the need to bring you back to "reality". A Basenji considers himself/herself the center of your universe and expects to be treated accordingly, the exception being when they are getting into mischief and don't want you to know about it. Otherwise your undivided attention is expected, and demanded, especially if it is obvious that something else is foremost in your thoughts. As the nominal owner (otherwise known as "staff") of a Basenji, you are expected to know that! 😉
Embarrassment Basenji style
-
Zahra had an all day vet appointment today at Banfield, I dropped her off early this morning and got a phone call at about 12:45 pm that she was ready to be picked up, when was I going to pick her up. I knew what that meant, it means that she was screaming up a storm there. She screams like crazy when seperated from Chase.
That wasn't the embarrassing part, the part that was embarrassing was that the nicest vet tech brought Zahra out in her arms cuddling her and talking about how sweet she was and then …
She bends over, holds Zahra out a bit and has a strange look on her face.
Zahra pee'd on her. All down the front of her and it went into her shoes.
I wanted to turn invisible. :o

That's when you say, "She really really likes you, you're the best Vet Tech…..........Ever!:D
-
Ohhh, how funny! That poor girl. I'm guessing Zahra was quite proud of herself.
-
Aw! I'm sure it wasn't the first (or the last) time she'd gotten peed on! I'm sure that cudddling and snuggling from Zahra was well worth it! It's not often non-Basenji owners get to snuggle with one!
-
Hey, I'd rather a dog pee on me, than bite me
-
-
that is too funny! I guess she did like the tech.
-
LOL…I am sure the vet tech has had this happen before and probably worse...I can just picture it...
-
that is awesome!!
Basenji screaming is typical at the vet…Caesar is a champ! "Why confine me when I can run amongst you and enhance your day!"
-
The best part of this is that I had to take Chase to the vet yesterday because he injured his foot this past weekend. I was a little embarrassed to walk in there! LOL!
-
As a former vet assistant, I can safely say that I was peed upon in my first 2 days on the job. A beautiful little soft coated wheaten terrier "initiated" me as I lifted her onto the exam table- lol! I've also had a big (and very nervous) mixed breed empty his anal glands on my pant leg - drool, slobber, and other unpleasant bodily functions were all part of my every day "attire"!
It's all in a day's work, I assure you! -
This is what dogs do, I wouldn't be embarassed in the least, I am sure they are use to this. It would be worse if you took your kid to the doctor and they peed on them. haha!!!!
