OMG - another poop story

Basenji Talk
  • wizardW

    Several days ago I had given EL D a bully stick that he had been chewing on for several days and was now only about 4 maybe 41/2 inches long. As I was cleaning up the yard I kept my eye on him because I didn't want him to bury it in my flower beds nor did I want him to get stuck on it. After a bit, I noticed he was no longer chewing and I assumed he had buried it in the flower beds though I couldn't really find any new holes.
    Yesterday we were in the yard enjoying an exceptionally warm day and I was going around and cleaning up his droppings when what did I find – yes :eek: indeed -- I found this one big pooplog with the whole bully stick in it! I can't believe it passed through his system like that without causing problems. OMG!

    With Zip the last bit of bully stick usually comes back up the other end if she manages to swallow it and I don't catch it in time. I have definitely dealt with more dog throw-up than I anticipated. I was ready for the poo, haha.

    HA ha! That is so funny! When Foster was a puppy he used to eat whole pecans that had dropped out of the tree in the backyard and then the next day he'd walk around for ten minutes trying to poop the whole thing out! He learned pretty quick not to eat them!!

    My husband hates to go to dinner with my dog friends, as we tell these type of stories over the meal.

    In addition to all of the above posts, there are definitely basenjis who will not be crated. I have one. Went through all the correct procedures trying to crate Shaye as a new puppy. We got her a wire crate, the right size, put a soft piece of our clothing in it, put it next to our bed at first so we could touch her through the bars - she screamed all the time she was in there, did her business wih her butt against the side so it would go outside, peed all over the place and sat in it, even though we were very slow and careful with it. The eventual result was she broke nearly all her baby teeth biting the crate, never calmed down in it, would not go in to eat, get treats or anything else. Her personality has never changed; she still backs off if she even sees crates other dogs are sleeping in. She is now nearly five, and she does not act like that when she needs to be kenneled at a daycare place, she seems to know it's different there, although if possible she will try to climb her way out at first. When she cannot, she will calm down and rest for the hour they put her in there during the day. Be patient, but if it just never works, so be it. Once Shaye got a little older and we got her a companion, she has been totally trustworthy while we are gone.

    my thanks to all of you for your wonderful advice - i will take everything that you all have said into consideration before making a decision - however my wife and i have decided that our grieving over the loss of our 4 year old is not over yet so we are going to delay any decision until we can get past this point - with that in mind, and realizing how difficult these discussions have been for me, i am going to unsubscribe myself from this site until such time as we can come to better terms with our situation - again, my thanks to all of you for trying to help - Manny

    Sometimes I actually think basenjis have magic pee. The grass always seems to be greener in those spots. :D
