How many toys do you need?!


  • @etzbseder:

    Medjai's answer is as many as can fit in his corner, even if they are shredded up.

    Their basket, their corner, MY corner, the middle of the floor, under the table, under the chair, in the crate, in the kitchen, in the living room,on my lap, under my feet…....

    ARE there enough toys in the stores to satisfy these guys? I'm thinking no.

    And even when new toys arrive, the old ones cannot be given up!


  • I think he's saying "one more"! ;)


  • Medjai got a hold of my empty gallon of tea.

  • I loved that. I only joined this site tonight. Your laws just say it all for me. I was reprimanded by an elderly couple on a country park near my home today because my basenji stole the foil cases that their pies had been in ha ha.

    @Mia:

    haven't you ever read the Basenji property laws?

    1. If I like it, it's mine
    2. If it's in my mouth, it's mine
    3. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine
    4. If I can take it from you, it's mine
    5. If it's mine, it must never be yours.
    6. If it looks like mine, it's mine
    7. If I saw it 1st, it's mine
    8. If it's edible it's mine
    9. If you have something and put it down, it's mine
    10. If I chew something up, all the pieces are mine
    11. If it's broken, it's yours :)

  • We posed the question to Sophie last night has she dug through her toy box, her answer was "the right one".

    hahaha! And the right one is always on the bottom of the toy basket, so they all have to come out and be strewn through the house! :D :)

    very true kip has a toy box but all his toys seem to end up in doorways for people to trip over :rolleyes: the toys he wants are always the hard ones to get to :p :D


  • im going to try and get some action agility shots soon ^_^

    Pearl has baskets of toys. She likes her toys!


  • Cory and Jayden generally ignore store bought toys. If they do like one, they like it to the point that it becomes an issue in the house and I have to remove it. (I always buy two and if they like it…they want both.) What they REALLY like to play with are socks stolen from the laundry basket, Duplo blocks (the large Legos), my grandson's much loved teddy bear, sippy cups, little Matchbox type cars (actually they like the aircraft better than the cars/trucks), my reading glasses, ballpoint pens, paper towels, and tissues. Actually....around here we call tissues "Basenji popcorn".

  • Gossy would say - there are never enough toys! At a pinch even a piece of paper will do.

    @Kipawa: He's got so much character in his face! Quite the cutie. Does he take his half out of the middle of the bed? ;) Most definitely, lol. He starts out all curled up between us, but if either of us moves, he pushes his legs out and sleeps like he's in rigor mortis as if to keep us from moving into "his space". It's going to be interesting when he gets bigger…might have to use him as an excuse to get a king size :p

    @kiroja: LOL Kim, I had one of those too and Mojo learned to pull the string as well! Soo funny how they entertain themselves. :) Two problems though, first he would tend to chew up the plastic ring that held the string so couldn't play with it no more. And second they remade them with solid tabs for pulling which wasn't easy for the dog to grab and it was very difficult to find replacements with the original plastic ring type handle that he could hook his tooth through. I wish I would have made a video, that was priceless. Thanks! Hihihi :D They do that here exact the same… break the plastic ring.. We buy a new one the next time we see it.. The price here is around 1 dollar i think.. @kiroja: Ok, I found another good one! [yt]IUbW2i0Mc7k[/yt] This was a different type of cat toy. Mojo LOVED playing with it! It was a little electronic mouse that spun around, lighted up, and taunted the dogs. :) It was motion activated so he could keep himself occupied for a while. Although the noise did get a little annoying. lol After a while he would start chewing it, so I'd have to take it away and save it for another special moment. :) He got real good at grabbing it by the tail and whipping it around the room. Once he came a little too close to smashing it through the tv, it definitely had some weight to it! I think I used to buy them for around $6 at WalMart, so some fun and cheap entertainment. lol This one is so great! B's are so very smart!!!! Our Buana learned it from the sister of Hailey (that stayed with us for 4 months) and Chafuko learned it from Buana. Hailey learned it from Chafuko!

    Thanks to everyone for their opinions. everyone here at work decided that they liked the second one, however everyone is distracted by my striped gloves. They also think that Elsie looks huge in her sweatshirt. I havn't decided what I am going to do yet.. I think I will try shooting again and see what those pictures bring. This is why I started taking them early. It is tough getting a picture of Oakie with her eyes open. We make fun that she is like forest gump. I will post the new pictures after I take them… thanks again. Lynne

    Cute dog. There's something about the eyes that don't quite make basenji but a nice dog regardless.
