Morning antics before work

Basenji Talk
  • As much as I love my little boys, there are those times that I would like to pull my hair out.

    This frustrating time typically is in the moments before I run out of the house for work.

    I kennel the boys when I dont take them to work with me.

    Well, Caesar has been trained by himself to run under the dining table at the momen he hears the beep of the TV turn off or based on the time I leave in the morning.

    He moves around under the table so that I can't reach him and I get really MAD.

    Anyone else have those moments where you want to scream? Just Friday I guess, I would rather be at the beach right now!

  • Yes when I've noticed Champ has one of my shoes, clothes, etc and I have to chase him around the table and then he makes a break for it under the bed and I hear him tearing whatever he has apart. If I get desperate I take out the treats and bribe the little brat to drop whatever he has.

  • I feel for you.

    I can't talk on the phone with them around, they hate it when I use the phone. They always act up. They are like 2yr olds who never grow up.

  • Yes he is an attentionaddict. If I'm trying to exercise he either scratches my head, pulls my hair or trys to lay right on my mat and gets in my way. When my daughter tries doing her homework on the sofa, he'll pull on her books, bite the pages, corners, or paws at them to knock them down.

    LOL on the entire repertoire. That was my chow/coyote. I would just wait til she stopped and give THE command (or give it again if she started AFTER I had given it.. but most of the time she started the second she knew I had a treat) when she was ready to listen. But it was cute.

    Everyday between 5 and 6am the Basenji alarm clock named Zoe goes off. Some mornings she has a squeaky yawn and then looks surprised when the noise come out.

    Forget the tomato juice, it just turns the white pink and it still smells. The dish soap/peroxide/baking soda works the best but it will still be a day or two until the smell is gone -more if the spray was heavy. Our kids used to get fairly regularly skunked because the skunks would come up to the fence at night and the Bs couldn't resist poking their paws through at the skunks!! Fortunately, we actually seem to have fewer skunks here in TX than we did in CA - or at least there's more 'wild' area so they don't come to the yard as much. Terry

    It is really great to be able to bring your dog to work. I've been bringing Sol to the gym for the last two weeks, and he is amazingly gentle and tolerant, even with toddlers– I am careful to tell people who fall in love and say they want a basenji that he is unusually tolerant for the breed, and that they need to pick their dog carefully---- I will try to take a picture too.
