What Biko did on our China vacation

Basenji Talk

  • After 2 weeks in China we came home to this "redecoration". It was the first time he had been alone for that long since we lost our oldest B.

  • Yes, that's pretty much how they react when they don't get to do whatever we are doing. We've lost comforters, pillows, couch cushions, most of our blinds, which we now leave half-mast so they aren't within reach - if we have to leave them for any length of time they don't stay home, they are boarded.


  • I particularly like the photo of all the fuzz gathered underneath the table. Looks like he had lots of fun!


  • My parents were looking after him while we were gone - feeding, spending time with, etc. for a few hours a day. They had cleaned up a bit. All of the debris was apparently spread throughout the house. This took him only 2 days to complete. Afterward, he was sentenced to kitchen confinement.


  • My Arnie destuffs items and that is why he now has fluff inside his crate which is used as his bedding!

    A campsite would be good for them to roam around. When we take on vacation, I also make sure to visit any local pet cafe so they could eat food we usually don't cook.

    Wizard, thats pretty much what I was hoping to hear. In regards to training, I meant along the lines of enforcing good behavior, like sitting down to have his leash taken off or waiting for a release to eat, not digging at the furniture. Stuff like that. I don't expect my roommate to "obedience train" my pup. Overall I have a lot of trust in him, we have lived together for 3 years and been friends for the past 7 years. Even if he doesn't have a vested interest in the dog, he has a pretty vested interest in our friendship. Khani, I think Jean is in South Africa right now, and I would prefer to have him stay home if possible. It looks like everything will work out. Also, Both Jean and Kyle spoke Highly of you and your dogs. Thanks again for the advice everyone

    @MaxBooBooBear: It sounds like she has a case of separation anxiety–not just grieving. I think there are several threads here on handling separation anxiety--which is a pretty difficult situation. I went through the same thing when I had to have Max's lifetime companion put to sleep. I got help from a veterinary behavioral specialist. I agree. She should be through the grieving process by now (5 months later), and it may have developed into SA. Sad to say, it's generally not easy to fix, but it can be done with a lot of time, patience and love. You might want to Google it and see if the symptoms fit her behavior patterns and how one can start on the road to alleviating it. Poor baby. Good luck.
