Funny story. I'm trying to improve my German, so I have to read the sentences out loud. Now Dana recognizes language! Whenever she hears me talking "German" she runs to the window to see if Roswitha and Georg are coming. We noticed this before when talking on the phone/skype, and thought Dana recognized Roswitha's voice. Now it seems Dana is so clever, she associates the German language with a visit from our friends! He loves to throw things -especially stuffed toys.  He will shake them very vigorously, then let 'em fly - and watch they go sailing.  You never know when Warren will decide to "practice his pitching" - one minute you are innocently watching The Food Network after a long day, and the next thing you know you've got Mr. Mirkitty (a favorite "tossing" toy) rocketing through the air, taking out your glasses and landing in your drink!

When we first moved here, I was planting marigolds and looked behind me to see basenji Katie had followed me and pulled each one up. I figured that was a pretty good skill to encourage, so I brought her out with me every time I was weeding the flagstones and she would pull up weeds beside me.

Tempest looks like she has a mouth full of grass; I really do have a lawnmower

Seriously, remind me again why I don't want the hares around our house to be hunted?

Might be I have a slightly different opinion very very early in the morning, when the B's wake me up with their "indoor hunting combined with the B500" because they spotted the hares around our house.

Ian and Cherry used to lie on the end of the bed and gaze out the window at the bunnies in our yard during the full moon...

This cat, Eve, also called "Evil", stole a chicken leg off Roy's plate, right from under his nose, mid-bite, and ran off with it. Roy looked down, it was gone, and she was off! He chased her around the living room and then upstairs. She dropped it near our bedroom door. Roy washed it off, and ate it anyway.

Fern said she wanted to go out, so I let her into the bedroom, where the door is. Sandy was enjoying a bully stick on the bed. Fernie snatched it; dove under the bed. The other dogs had hurried in, all snorfling about on the bed, & meantime Fern was long gone with the bully stick, up on the daybed in the living room. She's the only dog I've ever had that uses the under-the-bed space.

So the Barn Cat proved something today. I was sitting down eating a meatball sandwich. Cat jumped on MY lap and started licking where sauce had dripped on my shirt. It was a cute cat, so I gave it bite of cheese. Cat was thrilled and wanted more so tried to eat off plate. I held plate up. It then pawed at plate and of course something fell off as I jerked. Happy Cat jumped down to eat. Then back on my lap. Now, this really did happen. Go back and replace "cat" with "basenji" and proof is proved. Basenjis Are cats.
