New Dog Bed

Basenji Talk
  • So, I bought this huge dog pillow for my golden-mix; Jazzy already has a smaller pillow, a basket, my sons' camp chairs and multiple laps to curl up on.
    Gypsy is almost 13 yrs old and does have a blanket but it's raggedy {since Jazzy moved in, go figure} and needed to be replaced. So I bought this huge, puffy pillow for Gypsy to rest her weary old bones on.
    Right. As if she can get near it. Jazzy staked her claim as soon as the pillow was out of the package and Gypsy is lying on the hardwood floor.

    sigh. OH well, Gypsy did get to sleep on it last night, as Jazzy sleeps in her kennel. First thing after this morning's potty break though, Jazzy shot in the house and hasn't left the pillow yet. Every time Gypsy gets near it, there's a low grrrumph that comes from the supposedly sleeping Basenji. . . We're gonna have to work on that. ;)

  • Looks like there's more than enough room for several dogs….....that's cute.

    But I feel bad for Gypsy, she does need to rest her weary bones on that pillow. So much for dog seniority huh?

  • As if Jazzy neeeeds such a huge pillow!! Poor Gypsy :( can't mom stick up for her & get her the pillow back??

    Topaz tries to claim EVERYTHING in the house from C3…I need to step in sometimes because she hogs the nyla bones, the toys, the crates (yeah she likes BOTH crates as hers). Need I say more :)

  • Oh, there's been plenty removal of the youngster so the old gal can climb on {with not a little low grumbling about it from the youngster, of course}, but as soon as I turn around, Jazzy is back up there edging Gypsy off. She starts on the corner, then wiggles further in, and further.
    And Gypsy is so mild mannered, she just accepts that and moves to the floor!
    My kids think it's hilarious because Jazz looks so small on that big bed. I think she's just a little turd.

  • hahaha jazzy is a bed hog! she looks sooooo peaceful. they have a great knack for finding the softest place to lay.

    Unfortunately, the only think photos would show is black dots in paddocks of green lucerne. I have tried taking photos but without a zoom lens it's impossible. The paddocks are about 200 yards by 600 yards. Sorry. But I did see a fox sneaking across a paddock today at 3pm in the afternoon. The dogs must have been asleep! I called them but then the fox bolted, too late for the sleepy dogs.

    Well, I went to the dog park again. It was actually kinda boring. Only one other guy there with 2 little, shaved white dogs. He was not talkative at all and after the initial sniff, the dogs pretty much ignored on another. It was kinda hot (90 degrees) + humid + around dinner time so I wasn't really surprised. I was gonna leave when I, with the sun in my eyes, saw someone showing up with a dog with a curly tail and pointy ears. I thought, "OMG, is that a basenji, can't leave now." Turns out it was a Shiba-Inu. Cute dog. I thought, "Hey, maybe we'll get something here, playwise." No such luck, again, ignoring after the initial sniff. Oh well, it still made a tired basenji, which is good. I will go back again. Oh, and DolceMomma, this park also separates small and large. But the "large" dog area is so-o much nicer than the small dog area. First time, we started in the "small" dog area, alone, five minutes, went into the "large" dog area, 'cause that's where everyone else was. I just think this is a good way for my boy to get socialized. But I am/will be vigilant.

    They just opened a new park built on a retired landfill that has not one but TWO areas for dog parks, so when one gets run down, they'll open the other and close the first to allow grass to regrow, etc. She-Ra loves it, too, because unlike the other parks this one is wide open and has TONS of running room. Dream come true for us, but it'll still get hot in the summertime, I'm sure.

    Thanks Humanoid. I L'dMAO. Great idea with the home made wood bed. I still can't praise the Duluth Trading Company beds enough. Katie proof (a bed digger), and Tyler proof (exposed stuffing of any kind is fair game). 6 years and the bed is still in use. Washable outside and re-stuffable inside pillow (inside only replaced once due to a basenji/skunk incident) After 5 or 6 dog beds, this one is a keeper for me.

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...
