Water Dispenser

Basenji Talk
  • Rita JeanR

    Ok one year ago today we got Jayden and today he showed us something new again. When he started opening doors I thought well this is as bad as it gets but not so. Today he got a drink from the water dispenser I knew he had been really watching when we got water from it and today he got his own. Now his water bowl was full but it must not have been as fresh at least he cannot get the hot water on.
    I have to say this agin my Jaycee girl has never done this or even tried. My boy on the other hand is full of all kinds of new things and he just keeps showing us new things. I am happy that I love my babies so much.

    Cara has TRIED to activate the ice maker. She flies into the kitchen when she hears me use it because she loves to play soccer with ice, then eat it. I fear one day I'll have to put some kind of guard over the panel. Sigh.

    Molly is a 'desert dog' most of the year, she doesn't really like 'wet' ground. Bath? she is 8 1/2 never had a bath, cleans herself, everyone comments on how 'beautiful' she looks. When in the northwest, with the rain, she will go in the wet grass. and she loves the tall grass, guess she thinks she is back in the jungle.

    She looks a lovely dog and so wonderful that she is such good friends with Jibini. I hadn't realised that there was a difference in colours in the two standards - the UK standard is the same as the French I believe.

    Sharing water or drying you off?

    Ella does not dry us off, but she will go after any other wet dog. When we are walking near a creek with our Labrador friends she will crouch on the edge of the stream, torn between excitement and fear. But when a wet dog emerges from the creek, she will excitedly chase and nip and lick them.

    Paxton hates the water. He dreads going out in the rain. However, when we go to the park and the local labs are playing in the left over puddles, he has the time of his life in the water. He just loves it! We also fostered 2 other basenjis whom never seemed to mind the rain. The most recent was kept as an outside dog before the original family gave him up. That might have had something to do with it. It didn't matter if it was hot and dry, or pouring down rain turn to snow, he was just as happy to trot around outside.
