Picnic Surprise

Basenji Talk
  • M

    I take my Basenjis into the foothills to run off lead. This is outside city limits and most trails don't allow motorised vehicles, so no worries about cars, the occasional motorcycle, but they are courteous and slow down around people and pets. I worry more about hungry coyotes and cougars.

    I was walking down the trail with Channayn (RIP 1991-2006) and Moses, still among the living (10 now), and there were some picnicers. They had a whole spread laid out. Channayn and Moses caught sent of it and stopped. I swear they were plotting on how to get a free lunch. They were sniffing and looking at each other and sniffing some more. They gave each other one final glance and took off.

    I just kept walking. I just pretending I was a lone hiker and I had no affilation with the 2 rogues. I disappered into the forest and a few seconds later I heard where the f***? what happened to the f*****?

    I finally caught up with Channayn and Moses in a clearing and they were dividing up the spoils. There were meats, cheeses and crackers all over the clearing. They looked at me proud of themselves for such a hijacking.

    After they had their fill, we went on with our hike.

    godhead never created the dog- it always had one

    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

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    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

    I try to walk all of our dogs before brealfast, but if we don't get out, because of rain or whatever..then we play, or run around in the house…then we eat..Same goes for dinner. The all get one individual 30 min walk, minimum, a day.
