  • My angel puppy

    grew horns!!!


  • My Sahara makes messy rooms all the time, I can clean the house and she will find napkin, paper towel, kleenex and tear it up all over the carpet. She surfs the kitchen counters, trash can for anything to do the job. Since I got her there is something chewed up. broken, or taken outside via the doggie door everyday. This is Proof that I love my Basenji. you gotta love them to keep them. haha!!!!


  • What I neglected to mention was that the drawer was CLOSED! How the little bugger pulled it open is beyond me LOL!


  • lol, omg she is sooooooo lovely
    maybe she was trying to help you find something?
    wonder how they do that? fender did the same thing, only he ate some tin foil out of the pantry. i was so worried. gives a whole new meaning to "iron clad stomach"


  • Well, you better hope that she stops at drawers. Great Uncle Nicky can and does open drawers, cabinets, and used to open the refrigerator until we got the upside down kind which he can't open. Oh yeah, he has also learned to open some zippers.


  • What a pretty pup, Yodel!

    Magnum has gotten the hang of zippers, too. I consider it a good thing, mostly. Teaches my son to be responsible about his soccer equipment (oh, what a good stink that puts out, a B just can't be held responsible for any damage done! It's irresistable!).

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    @elbrant Yes, she's good an patient sometimes, I've been taking pics of her from day 1 so she's used to it, I'm allowed a couple of mins and no more though.

    <> Funny...I feel the same way about open wheel racing...but L-O-V-E NASCAR. I had never even seen a race on TV until I met my DH. He has been a Rusty Wallace fan since the late eighties. When I first found out he liked NASCAR (we had been married for a year, he was hiding it!) I was like 'no way...what could be interesting about cars driving around in circles fast?'...BORING! Then after he got me to watch a few races, I really liked it, and when I found my own driver, I really got into it. He even convinced me to go to some races...we have been to the Busch series in Michigan twice, and the two Cup series races, Charlotte last fall, and Martinsville just a couple weeks ago. He likes to watch open wheel racing...but I just can't get into it. It makes me laugh when they so 'uh,oh..contact' when the cars ALMOST touch each other ;)
