Sewer grates?

Basenji Talk
  • AndrewnShangoA

    Shango has recently been fascinated by the manhole covers around town. Whenever we're on walks he stops and stiffs the sewer grates for at least 3-4 mins or until I pull him along!

    Anyone else find their curious B does this?

    Only the sewer grates in the sidewalk gutters because Raccoons go in and out. They live down in the sewers in the day time. He only sniffs them for maybe 10 seconds.

    Both my previous and current guys love the sewer grates, not so much manhole covers ( a brief onceover maybe). I never waited to see how long they would sniff at them, they are in the street, after all. I just always figured it was because there were so many different/interesting smells down there, not necessarily because of actual critters. Kinda the same way they love trash cans!!:)

    Oh yes - sewer grates have wonderful smells a day or so after the rains (not that I would know :))

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
