    Yesterday I had a very long and arduous day, I come home walk Oakley, feed him and get dinner going….I hadn't smiled all day and in walks Oakley ( right into a wall) because he stole the empty pasta box (my dinner) and got it stuck over his head...I didn't take a picture but it was definitely the comedic relief I needed. Thought I would share

    The perfect way to come out of your doldrums! That must have been a picture for sure. He is a doll - bet he was embarrassed when you took the box off his head - they don't like to appear out of total control much. LOL

    Definitely embarassed. At home I always pretend to be Oakley in a funny voice ( I'm nuts!) and I swear if he could talk it would be" ugh mom, nothing to look at here,just taking out the recycling"

    His gooberness is why I love him…always something to smile at

    That's what makes this breed great. They are complete clowns, endless source of entertainment. :)

    AMEN!!!!! Would have had to stand with my legs close while laughing if I witnessed that one!!!! I am particularly fond of Uzie's 180 turn to let me know it is getting close to dinner time, then the 'Tissue Retrieve Game'. He promptly goes into the bathroom (the only time of day this is done….) brings out a used tissue, drops it in front of us while we are watching the 5pm news and love to have (me) get up, pick it up, and hope I turn to the kitchen to begin his dinner preparations...................

    Very true… He always seems to know just what I need.....but then again, there are times he seems to know just what I don't need!!! Lol

    Either way I laugh so that just goes to show I'm crazy about him

    Basenjis are best! It is impossible for my husband and I to be around Kipawa and not smile or laugh. :) How wonderful that yours can lift your spirits as well!

    Mr BaRoo i am very sorry to hear of the loss of Sami. Perhaps you could do him a tribute thread when you feel up to it. Run free Sami

    Lol…sorry to laugh but I was walking Indy the other day and for some strange reason there was a pair of socks in the middle of the side walk. Needless to say he saw it before I did. He raced up to it grabbed them and was starting his best show dog prance by the time I saw him.

    I do not think so. It's from the music group Gorillaz last CD booklet.

    I too have flown with a pup in a Sherpa… one thing, be sure that they have a not been fed right before... and also the longer you can keep the pup awake, the more likely they will sleep the entire time. I kept the pup up and playing for at least 3 hours before the flight... and I do mean playing hard.. (I was pretty tired too...)I also did a 5+ hour flight, no accidents. But a friend of mine had a great idea... and it does work, take along some puppy wee/wee pads... you can go into the bathroom, put down the pad on the floor and let the little one go... however with as short of a flight you are doing, I doubt it will be necessary....

    I just think that he's settling into your schedule. Dogs are creatures of routine. You may want to teach a "settle down" command for the weekend evenings, and of course, really tire him out during the day on the weekends. a really wiped out dog isn't going to want to play all night.
