    Well, when my submariner husband is on duty or out to sea, Jack is the man of the house. I thought id brag a little and say, Jack kills bugs (esp. Spiders) for me so i dont have to!! LOL YEAH, im not kidding!! (jelious right?) The other day when hubby was on duty, i saw a HUGE black spider crawling by my foot, i called Jack (just to see what he'd do) and pointed at the spider (I HATE SPIDERS) and he took his Manly paws, and SMASHED it for me!!! LOL!!! YEAY, my hero, i would have just let it crawl away because i was barefooted and they TOTALLY freak me out!!! I gave him a peanut butter sandwich as a treat and hugged him so tight he probably couldnt breathe, lol. now whenever theres a creapy crawling thing, i get Jack to take care of it for me!! Its great!! lol

    Hmmmm, at least he crushes them first. Mine torture eveything, roll it around, disable it, then let it suffer because it doesn't move right anymore. The Boxenji just walks over and hovers it. Taste? What Taste??

    My Bs have me trained to kill spiders and bugs for them….anytime I see my B going after anything, I step in and get rid of it because I'm afraid that they could get bitten somehow--and we do have black widows and brown recluse spiders in my area. My german shepherd mix loved to catch flies--and I would always try to stop her because flies are so filthy....yes--I am a bit of a hypochondriac.....but only when it comes to my babies.......

    true true, when Jack tries to catch flies and flying bus with his mouth i get so disgusted!! but i cant be there to stop him, and its OK with me for Jack to save me from the evil bugs!! lol (but i dont think we have dangerous spiders in our area, only BAD ticks!! (i LIVE close to Lyme, CT…boo)

    I am glad to know my basenji mix isn't the only one that chases flies and other flying insects. I have to admit, it is funny to watch her chase a fly around my office while I'm at work. Never a dull moment.

    Make sure you use a good cleaner to get rid of the pee/poo smells. I think often we think its clean, but the dogs can still smell the area, and think, ok, this is where I go…We had an issue with a b peeing on the bed. Using an cleaner that breaks up the "matter" was heaven sent to us.

    Welcome to my world…my new male Basenji started marking when he walked in the house and then my Rocky boy decides he needs to mark too. I've been walking around with a spray bottle of Simple Green and rags - not to mention yelling, "Go outside to pee!" a lot. Finally, today the p***ing contest stopped. Whew. (I didn't mention I have four females and one foster female who is not spayed!) Watch the vinegar, I used it and the carpet smells like a salad when the air is humid. Yuck. I've been steaming with simple green, then rinsing well with water and 1 cup of Febreze Concentrated Fabric Freshner. I buy it in the gallon size.

    Wow. I am impressed. We're still at the stage where she won't be crated, can't stand to have one of us out of her sight, and if we're ignoring her she grabs something she isn't supposed to and runs all over the place until we have to pay attention and play. We're having dreams of an adult dog…......hopefully she'll get there someday.

    @tanza: Right now the top winning dogs are Tris… Klassy and Blade (think that is his call name...) good point Pat…it wasn't really a few years ago! Tris have been doing great ever since Tootsie's career really took off. I was thinking back to Toots instead of thinking of who is out there right now.

    Our puppy was out in the house one time when we came home and I wondered if maybe I had not had the hasp lined up when I shut it, but maybe she did figure out how to open it. Now, she says outside with the other dogs (well, they actually can come into the laundry room as well) and is only in the crate essentially for feeding so I have not found out if she can do it again.
