Oh dear god…

Basenji Talk
  • Well, sounds like quite the adventure. Glad he is feeling better though.

  • She Ra getting the runs every now and then is a signal to ease back on the rawhide. She loves it, but we offer other stuff for her to gnaw on if it looks like the poops are getting a bit too nasty.

    Glad everything turned out okay.

  • As we in the south say, "Bless Your Heart". Having to come home to that after a hard day of work must have been exhausting. I am so glad for you and Tucker that he is well now. I will keep my nose on Sahara's rawhide, she loves the stuff. The worst smelling chew is her Bully Stick, it smells bad but she loves, loves it. Someone once told me that dogs love smelly stuff, guess Tucker can vouch for that. haha!!!!!:D

  • Oh my!:eek: Yes, bless your heart!

    Carpet shampoo machine!:D

  • Wow…glad you got it all cleaned up and glad Tucker is ok.

    Note to self...no rawhide for Ruby...ever!!! :eek: :eek:

  • Oh…ugh...I have so been there. About three times that has happened to Querk...and rather than just poop in a puddle by the door, I swear he spins in violent circles to spread the diarreha as far and wide as possible...and yes, the only answer I have found is carpet deep cleaner....

  • Ewwww, yuck! I know it was a hard job cleaning all that up. One can never be prepared for these messes. But on the bright side - you've got a clean-clean house now! Glad you and Tucker got thru it OK and feeling better.

  • …and that is why dash is crated. YUCK

  • wow. ewww. glad all is better now.

  • OMG is right!!! I have a really strong sense of smell and you would have seen me with kleenex stuffed in each nostral and a mask on for extra protection!!

    Pat

  • Glad all is okay now - I've been through some nasty illness with my previous beastie (not nearly as bad as you) and I know just what you mean about spinning and pooping! :D

  • Awwww ,,,,,,,,I feel your pain,,,,,,,,,I came home from work one day for a quick lunch break to let the kids out ( I had a million things going on at the high school I teach at and only had about 15 minutes to let them out to do their business). Well, as we all know, our B's sometimes have differnent agendas so – I open the door to the living room and smell the most ungodly smell on earth -- I was afraid,,,,,,VERY AFRIAD to see what was awaiting me,,,,,,,poo on the carpet, walls, in the vent next to the crate and worst of all on Dane!!! Not thinking ,,,I let him out to go outside and all through the living room, foyer back to the french door was poopy paw prints. It was either laugh or cry. I decided to laugh,,,,ok maybe not while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor and walls but later I laughed!.

  • We've had a rainy spell around these parts last few days and naturally I have a couple that think water will kill them. We found one of them decided to poop indoors and the wife and I where trying to decide which one was the culprit. I declared it was the big male Max, the wife said no, 'He's a move while you poop dog and this pile was neatly in one place…..it was Cleo.:rolleyes: :D

    Poop identifcation!:rolleyes:

    Yup!!! That move while you poop will call you out in a heart beat!! :D :D C3PO is a move & poop kinda guy…I don't get it :confused:

    TuckerVA-you're a good dad! And what you did was surely what he needed!

  • We call our DAne the traveling pooper!!

  • She-Ra's a moving pooper as well. Really funny on walks…she's kinda got this Charlie Chaplin-Duck waddle thing going. :)

  • That is how I know which one of my Bs went in the house….Sawyer is a "poop walker":rolleyes:

    Wyatt has stuck his little butt against the side of the wire crate twice when he was younger and had diarreah. It was everywhere. On the crate, on the wall, on the floor under the crate...What a mess! Inside his crate was clean though.

  • Tucker is a poop walker also. He's also a pee walker. Back when I first got him his first in-house pee was across as much of my sofa as possible. He got all 3 back cushions, all 3 seat cushions and managed to hit the crack between the chaise and sofa getting pee on the actual unremovable sofa material.

    Another funny shorty… I was running with Tucker one time and he typically waits until we stop to poop but apparently he really had to go so I'm running along not really paying attention and all the sudden the leash got tight (I run with a 29' recoil leash) so I immediately looked back for him just in time to see me jerk him around as the business was taking place. Ever heard of "Who flung pooh?". Tucker did, that's who. :)

  • i feel for you, we had a similar experience, it was every where on everything.

    This happened many times and we discovered our dog was allergic to wheat. We went to a Lamb & Rice hard food and he has been pretty good for the last several years.

    The worst was when he was a puppy he got worms, nothing like diarrhea mixed with angle hair past like wriggling live worms!!

    That is a sight I will never forget!

    we had a similar experience with our son, whom my wife was breast feeding. We ate at a mexican restaurant, then my wife fed our son. That night he had diarrhea so bad it filled his footy pajamas from his feet all the way up to the top of his back!

  • This entire thread is hysterical. (Sorry, Tucker…I guess it wasn't funny while cleaning up) I have tears in my eyes. Thanks for making me laugh! Glad to know he's doing well. I've been there quite a few times myself, but usually it's limited to the dining room rug. Can't wait to throw that sucker out...

    wow! nic memories! Here on my city my sister cant belive that people even stop theirs cars to ask "what breed is your dog"? some people get pictures with the cellphone or with their tablets so a walk with my girls on the downtown is a secure chit chat with the people. A remember 3 ladies, they were so amazing! Maca dont put so much atention on people specially girls, but those ladies was talking to Maca saying she was sooo pretty sooo sweet sooo everything and Maca start to bend those ears and make noises they were more happy and carry on and Maca more and more sweet Whilw They was saying Maca was soo sweet and bla bla and i was thinking.. ha! she is a little naughty and sometimes so dominant.. but that day Maca plays her role to perfection. She deserves a Oscar.. Other day she was confused with a male chihuahua, a lady ask if we can breed our dogs, i said, well is a SHE and is not a chihuahua, the woman start to apologize i dont care well.. i dont like Maca be confused with a male dog, but was funny at the end. But on general people use to think they are like foxies or pitbull or little deer. I said to some kids that i was ironing the tale all days to get curled. They believe it and i was worried they try to iron his own dog, so i said that noooo! that was natural and ironing a dogs tale is a ugly idea. Oh one day i lef Maca with the policeman at the bakerys door ( he was at my sight anyway) and when i was out i found the man with several people asking him if was a police dog or some kind of new police dog because looks so nice and so naughty hahha The poor man have no words and just was smiling while the people was taking picture of him and the dog. lol So the last time that i walked with my sister she was wow! i cant believe it.. the people stoped to ask what breed is.. Yes, my girls are used to some fame.. and i like they socialize with the kids.. not so much with the grown people and with so many thief getting his eyes on pure breed doggies not so nice but well… i said the are naughty some times.

    Ciara wrote this to Santa in her blogg (http://www.rissa.cc/blog/Ciarasdiary)::) This year I have a special Christmas wish for Santa Claus: give me healthy and easy puppies on January! Help us to find loving homes with common sense, understanding the basenji temperament and activity needs. Give me chance to quide my kids the proper start of living: enough self-confidence and courage to meet every day challenges, initiative thinking to avoid problems and a lot of adaptability and sense of humor to meet the new owners odd manners. Sending lot of X-mas yodels to all my friends!
  • Oh look!

    Often dogs don't know WHERE to go, in a new place. So, take them out every 3 hrs and treat/praise with proper elimation. Also, keep the areas of the apt your not in, closed. Keep the dog with you, and if you see the nose down, take it out. This should pass as the dog gets more settled. We travel a lot with our dogs, and we keep them with us in motel rooms, with closets, bathrooms shut. When they act like they are sniffing, we take them out. Also, extra exercise with your b will help. Good luck
  • Oh, I forgot to crate you up?

    Thank you JoeyQ for getting this thread back on topic :) Not that puppy mill/responsible breeding isn't a good thread… :p and there might be one on this very forum. Nice to see so many Basenjis that go against (somewhat) the stereo-types. I feel lucky because Jenny was a 7 month old shelter dog - stray - and really must have had a good upbringing because she has always been very handle-able (one of my friends picked her up and stacked her show dog style the first time he met her) and really only fussed (like the dickens!) in the crate the first night or two. I would remind those who are having difficulty crating: your emotions are a factor in how your dog reacts and adapts. The stress of hearing their cries, and worse, often puts an owner on edge enough to subtly (and often not so subtly to most dogs) encourage the behavior. Earplugs help.:o

    I like Adams flea shampoo. It kills the buggers and leaves the animals hair soft. Haven't used it on my Basenji though, as we just haven't had fleas here for a few years.
