Missing my B's

Basenji Talk
  • G

    Well I am sitting in the RDU airport in NC waiting for my flight back home. Really missing my B's. I have another 2 hours before my flight leaves. I was only gone 3 days, but according to my husband they made his life hell while I was gone. Normally they no longer mess with the kitchen cabinets but while I was gone broke in and managed to rip open a bag and sugar and spread it all around the house, pee and poop in the house and in general make a mess. I had a family member ask me does my husband greet me when I get home like my dogs and I said NO! Dogs meet me at the door tails wagging, smiling and demanding to be petted. Husband says Hi how was your flight.. and that's about it.

    I always think it's wonderful the way Basenjis play up when you're not there. It always reminds me of my sons when my brother baby sat them - as soon as I was out the door having left them 'asleep' in their beds, they were up and about and driving my brother nuts!!!

    So wonderful to be home again. Obviously cold turkey doesn't suit you!

    I always miss mine terribly when I'm gone. When I have to leave them alone with my hubby he knows he's in for a rough couple days. I bet your hubby won't want you to be going anywhere else soon!

    Our basenjis really get into our hearts, don't they. I miss Kipawa when I am out on an errand and don't have him with me!

    I wish they could go everywhere with me but I couldn't imagine trying to get them on a plane. We are going to lake Erie in a couple week for a long weekend and they are coming with us. This campground is very dog friendly, this is the campground's annual halloween party before shutting down for the winter. Everyone is asking us to bring our dogs and of course they will be dressed up in costumes. After that we are taking a week to go to Cancun. Dog's can't go but will staying with a friend that has 1 acre fenced and her 3 dogs and mine were practically raised together. So we call it a sleepover. Everyone plays until exhaused so not a lot of time to get into trouble. I will miss them while I'm gone but know they are in great hands with my friend.

    @DebraDownSouth: Great pictures. :( Krunzer, as the aunt of a niece with Downs Syndome, who has served on coalitions for and MHMR boards, I do want to say the use of "retarded" as a slur is really offensive. I cringe over that use as much as I do the "that's gay" comments, or "Jew down on the price" etc. It's just hurtful. And btw, not singling you out and I have also used words common (like gyped and Indian giver) before I really thought about the connection. Just wanted to share my response, not meant as any type of insult to you personally. I am sorry I guess I just did not think when I was writing it. Thank you for pointing it out and I will try to be more courteous in the future. Sometimes things just come out of my mouth(or typing) and I don't think of the connotations first, I really need to try to be more diplomatic on here and in every day life! :)

    I don't keep a collar on Ava unless I'm walking her. Poor Leki's tragic accident is similar to what happened to two Goldens who lived down the street from me. They were in the backyard playing while their owners were away, and the whole block knew immediately that it was awful. This is an old thread, but there's some good info in it. Doggie daycare has been a lifesaver for me. It gives Ava an outlet for her endless energy and is good for socialization. She is a friendly girl who likes everybody– human, canine and feline. I take turns handing her off to everyone there, and so far, she'll go right to them with a hello lick. I want her to know that people are good and she can trust them. Hopefully, it will always be that way!

    We have actually been really lucky in this regard. Our backyard is enclosed by a picket fence reinforced with chicken wire around the bottom. It was here when we moved in last year. Cyrus has never tried to dig or climb out of the fence at all. We are actually hoping to replace our fencing with vinyl this year, so it will be even more secure. Cyrus does not have access to the outdoors when we are not home, however. He is too clever for his own good, and we worry about what he would do if left to his own devices!

    Mine want to sleep on long, rainy days…..like today. Once they have their first potty of the day and realize it's a downpour day, their whole demeanor changes, and it's a slow-moving, sleepy day all day.

    Does he know sit or down? If not, should teach him… and then when your daughter comes out of her room, she should immediately have him sit.. (would help at first if she has treats for him)... then she can reward him for doing a behavior that is acceptable... I was thinking the same thing. This is how I got caesar to stop jumping up on people at the door when he would try to greet them.
