Did you say Cheese?!


  • Hahaha! You better get those furkids an agent quick!!! :)


  • I wish they would make me some money!

    I spend so much on them and their super fancy all meat, no preservative, no soy, no wheat, no rice food, and their safety choke collars with beautiful ribbon, and their rubber shedding tools, and their soapfree shampoos, and their real excape proof baby gates.

    And, I have to admit, I have been looking for some sweaters now that the temp is dropping….


  • Aw…how sweet! Sounds like you made a great move...

    Well if you're looking to spend some more money :D, then do I have the sweaters for you. There is a woman in Chicago that custom knits beautiful dog sweaters (even uses cashmere if you want).

    I'm having one knit for Ruby right now (and she better wear it! :D). Kind of pricey, but after I saw them, nothing I saw in any store locally compared :D. Anyway, you send her full measurements of your dog, pick a model type from her web page (models can be modified to accomodate collars vs. harnesses, leg lengths, that sort of thing), and then she sends photos of various colour combinations based on what you like and the colour of you dog. This is the one I chose (blue is the body, red is neck & legs, green will be on the tips of everything).](http://www.luckypennyhandmade.com)


  • wow, i will check it out.

    Those are beautiful colors…looking forward to seeing the finished product...on the model, of course!;)

    Definitely there will be pics. I think it will be done next week…I'm excited (not sure Ruby will be though :D given my experiences with trying coats on her) and it is starting to get cold here.

    If it works out, I'm ordering a second one because there was another colour combo that she sent me that I loved as well. Ruby will have better sweaters than her mom :D!

    Maybe you could get a matching one!;) Or at least coordinate…it's kind of like having kids, the kids always get the good stuff before Mom!;) :D Looking forward to the pictures...


  • holy cow, those sweaters are $200. that is too much for me. my guys are always getting dirty.


  • @Mantis:

    holy cow, those sweaters are $200. that is too much for me. my guys are always getting dirty.

    Actually the pricing goes according to size and type of yarn (cashmere would probably be $200). To give you a better idea on the price, Ruby is 19lbs and the yarns I picked are hand painted wools (cost almost $30 a skein)…the price shipped will be about $145...still pricey. If you picked something that wasn't hand painted I bet you could get it closer to $100. Dog sweaters in the stores locally were $70 - 80...that is why the price difference was negligible to me when I could really get a custom fit.

    Needless to say, that is why Ruby BETTER wear it and why I say it is better than what I own. :D


  • and everything is more expensive in Maine! LOL….


  • LOL, ain't that the truth! :D All the pet stores are down on the water near where all the ferry terminals are so the prices are geared toward the cruise ship passengers. We don't call it taxation land for no reason either.

    @elbrant said in Zaki says hello again:Dogs don't understand when you punish after the fact... so I never said word one to her. This is oft repeated and accepted wisdom, but I don't entirely agree with it. From personal experience I would say that dogs do indeed understand, provided that they knew what they did transgressed established rules, and even in some cases learned what was unacceptable even when not "caught in the act". Two of my non-Basenjis were farm dogs that did not come in the house, but did reside in the barn at night when my horses were there due to cold or inclement weather. I explained in no uncertain terms that I was not amused to find dog poop in the aisle when I arrived in the morning. After a few profanity laced outbursts from me, both dogs figured out what I was upset about, and thereafter "held it" until let out in the morning. One of these dogs went on to become a house dog for my sister, and he arrived already house broken although he had never resided in a house up to that point. As to whether dogs understand that they have done something wrong, once they know the rules they absolutely do. I have lots of evidence for this, but if you have ever arrived home and witnessed a "guilty dog" expression before you discover what has transpired (not after, because they could read your body language), you know that they know you will not be pleased. I hasten to add, this does not happen with many Basenjis. The little darlings are great at dissembling. At one visit to my breeder's house, one of five adult Basenjis had peed on the floor. All five surrounded the puddle, each with a look of total innocence, as if to say "Who did that?"

    Very normal.... note however that Basenjis do not have an undercoat. The golden yellow is the dead hair.

    Yes, Bungwa will toss any of his toys into the air and catch them but definitely will not catch anything I throw. He has no competition because the others just look and say 'Boooring'!!! Interesting about your best hunters being fetchers, Quercus. I wonder if there's a reason in it or whether it's a coincidence!?
