It's raining.. it's pouring.. my lovely morning.

  • my B is a big fat wimp!

    woke up this morning to torrential rain. Tucker casually hauled his lazy toosh outa bed, hauled himself downstairs, and when I asked him to go out and do his business, well, that's when he nearly had a nervous breakdown…. backing away from the door... "no, no, no!!!!" I remind him that this is not optional, he has to be brave and go outside. so he goes, reluctantly. he then stands just outside the door. I gently scoot him down the 3 steps to the yard... where he stands looking at me w/ the most horrible look on his face! Fine. whatever. just go pee!!!

    I leave to go check the baby (who's throwing breakfast around the kitchen) when i hear horrendous barking and crying. I swear, you'd of thought this dog was being burned alive by acid rain the way he was carrying on. Jeeez, it's a bit of rain... I let the Drama-king in, he shoots me a dirty look, shakes off a few rain drops, and heads back to bed, where he proceeds to lick his butt on my comforter. I swear, it was payback.

  • What a story!

    Too funny - glad you shared your morning here. :D :D :D Senji's don't need words, do they!!

  • My feeling is that b's will only go in the rain, IF Your out there, holding an umbrella over the b…having the rain run down YOUR neck...oh, and its usually about 3am in the morning...
    So, you finally get the b to pee or poo, you get in the house, try to drive off your pj's...
    and find a wet basenji warming himself under your covers in your bed.
    Yes, I am my dogs slave!
    Oh, I live in the PNW...this happens often!
    SIGH!

  • well now Blaze is in trouble. I can no longer hold the umbrella over him as he goes potty… he ate it last week...

  • Indi will go, FAST but in the morning he then runs in, dives underneath the covers, and warms his feet on Turin, some days I am glad to be the first one up

  • Lol, they are major heat slugs when it cold/wet aren't they!?

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    No problems, lets me learn for future reference which is always a good thing :) Kaia is still petite. I haven't weighed her in about 2 weeks or so, she had been hovering just a smidge under 18 lbs, she may have finally gone over that now. That's why I was hoping to put off until July, wanted to make sure she had plenty of time to grow because we weren't too sure if she grows slowly or if she'll just stay petite. But I look back on her first pictures with us and wonder when she got so big!

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
