Funny Ice Story

Basenji Talk
  • AndrewA

    I fixed myself some ice water & then left the room to iron some clothes. My cat Spooky was sitting nearby, and she loves to dip her paws in water, so I made a mental note not to drink the water again. I came back a few minutes later, and both of the dogs were chewing on something. "Oh great… what did they get into?" I thought. I looked closer & they were chewing on ice! They finished their piece of ice & Lola went back to the couch, jumped up on the arm & dipped her face into my glass. She pulled her head back out, dripping water, with a piece of ice in her mouth. She jumped back down onto the floor, where she & Booger fought over the ice until I put the whole glass on the floor for them for easier access. They finally dumped it over, spilling the water out & eating the ice. Who knew ice was such a treat?

    That is a great story!

    I wish Shango liked ice. Most dogs I've come across really like ice as a treat- Shango know's it's wet so he won't go near it!

    Roo loves ice. He sits very prettily and patiently any time you use the icemaker on the fridge, hoping to get a "treat" If you give him one, he chases it all over our tile floor, until he 'corners' it somewhere and can chew it up.

    Silly puppies!

    My kids love ice as well. I love it now in the house as my bedroom is the only room with carpet. They will chase the ice all over the house untill they get bored. Then they take it to my bedroom so they can sit it on the carpet where it can't get away from them. :)

    To you

    Sahara loves ice especially if it is crushed out of the icemaker, sometimes she will stand beside me while I am filling my glass up. Some pieces will fall on the floor and she too will chase them around the kitchen floor and eat it. Sometimes she too has gotten into my glass of water with crushed ice and helped herself, but I let her have it and I get another, no big deal.

    mine love ice too, but not as much as aerosol whipped cream! They come running when they hear the ice and the sound of the whipped cream shooting out of the can!!

    Shaye's MomS
    In addition to all of the above posts, there are definitely basenjis who will not be crated. I have one. Went through all the correct procedures trying to crate Shaye as a new puppy. We got her a wire crate, the right size, put a soft piece of our clothing in it, put it next to our bed at first so we could touch her through the bars - she screamed all the time she was in there, did her business wih her butt against the side so it would go outside, peed all over the place and sat in it, even though we were very slow and careful with it. The eventual result was she broke nearly all her baby teeth biting the crate, never calmed down in it, would not go in to eat, get treats or anything else. Her personality has never changed; she still backs off if she even sees crates other dogs are sleeping in. She is now nearly five, and she does not act like that when she needs to be kenneled at a daycare place, she seems to know it's different there, although if possible she will try to climb her way out at first. When she cannot, she will calm down and rest for the hour they put her in there during the day. Be patient, but if it just never works, so be it. Once Shaye got a little older and we got her a companion, she has been totally trustworthy while we are gone.

    Our little girl, Nami, is very vocal. She has a special greeting for us whenever we come home. And if we reach into the treat jar but don't give her the treat in a timely manner, we hear about that too… she scolds us for being too slow. Nami will also "talk" to the other dogs at the bark-park when they won't play with her. Our boy, Radar, is just the opposite. We refer to him as "The strong, silent type." He doesn't say much, but when he does, it is very loud! He usually sounds off when he and his sister are wrestling, then Nami breaks away to hide under the dining room table. He'll stand in the middle of the room and let loose with a resounding "bah-rooooooo."
