Butu's Bed…

Basenji Talk
  • Q

    I bought Butu a "Really Tough Tuffie" from Tuffies, as it came with a money back guarantee (which I was convinced I'd be using!) It made a huge difference to his behaviour - I no longer get multiple Basenji 500s every night. So I bought him a Tuffie nest as a crate/travelling one and he loves that very much too. They are very well made and apart from the "Really Tough Tuffie", which a friend calls his 'Kryptonite' bed, come in lots of nice colours. Butu's nest is blue with a Black Watch tartan fleece. I'm seriously considering getting a flat bed for him with a mudproof cover for the car. They are not the cheapest on the market, but neither are they the most expensive, and, in the case of the "RTT", I do not envisage having to replace it for many years. I have no connection with the company, save as a really satisfied customer. As we're talking beds, before I discovered Tuffies, I was considering Orvis - but they are very pricey - anyone any experience with Orvis beds?

    My dog had an adverse reaction to the Heartworm edible I gave her, do you possibly give one? if so is it maybe related to that? I had to switch brands and she still doesnt feel well for 1 to 2 days after I give it, but it is not as bad as the other brand. Her symptoms were changes in consistency and color and frequency of bowel movements, she didnt eat, and didnt want to be bothered. And she ate grass.

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    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!

    A lot of research shows that dogs develop male hormone driven behavior well before a year, and that neutering after the behavior will not stop them. But the decrease in hormones will help making training those behaviors far easier, so early or late, you can usually get a bump in decreasing unwanted behaviors. Glad all is well.

    My dogs do this all the time. Well, Lexi does anyway- she's the only one who can fit/balance on the back of the sofa. ;) ha! And she'll tap your head in a heartbeat if there's something you have that she wants! lol

    @snorky998: You guys got me laughing as I picture "Elaine" from the 'Friends' TV series when she thinks she's the great dancer, and she really appears to be in some sort of zen spaz attack.:D I think you are thinking of Elaine from Seinfeld…. but that is exactly what I was thinking of
