Denise Hartig

Susan Kamen Marsicano Wasn't it Scruffy who had the brilliant sense to bite the fake doc fake dog trainer?

Denise Hartig Yes the only person Scruffy ever bit was that teacher at Tailspin who tried to force him to do a down, which he wasn't gonna do on a cold floor. He had no problem with his downs after that when I brought a clean rug for him.

No professional anything ever won an argument with a good basenji.

Raven consistently brrrrrr-ooooos at me if I "growl" at her. Invitation to play. It certainly breaks the ice if I'm growling because I'm cleaning up shredded Kleenex. My growl quickly turns into hysterical laughter.

George Woodard Chloe barroos without fail if she thinks she is in trouble. She continues constantly until she thinks she is no longer in trouble.

Susan Kamen Marsicano Her tante Fiddle talks to me loudly if she thinks I need a talking to.

Karla Kraus Schreiber My old gal Mirrie won a yodeling contest at the 2001 National because I noticed, as a very young dog, that if I scolded her and wagged my finger - and said "Mirrie... what did YOU DO??" She would yodel her head off... I've not had another that would yodel on command, but Mirrie was as reliable as Old Faithful!

Susan Kamen Marsicano Fiddle "says" to me if she thinks I'm displeased.

Caesar and I ALWAYS get caught in rainstorms but we never mind it. We are always about a mile or more away from home when it start and it always seems to get stronger the farther away that we are. He and I LOVE walking in the rain. Our hawk friend was drenched,too. He was perched on his high wire just waiting for breakfast to walk by. We chatted for a few moments.

LIFTING LEGS

Karen Christensen <sigh> one of those rites of passage -- Rip just raised his leg on the door frame, trying out being a big doggie. He still has baby teeth.

Tamara Allen Ha ha ha! So on the door frame at Karen's house there will be little dates with lines drawn across to memorialize how high Rip peed as he grows up.  She can look at it and say, ahhh, my lil boy, I remember when he could only pee that high!

Karen Christensen LOL when Susan visits we'll have to make marks for all the boys.

Tamara Allen Karen Jones had a girl that walked on her front paws to pee high on poles. A true feminist I guess.

Xan Raskin WOW! Wish my little one was there to see it. Xak pees on his feet.

Karen Christensen Chelsea I thought Rip was at it early --

Susan Kamen Marsicano And really, Liner does not lift his leg - well maybe two or three times in his life.

Chelsea James My 90lb male Doberman didn't start to lift his leg until he was 2 or 3 years old. Too funny, to see this big huge dog squat while standing over a shrub LOL

Karen Christensen Ian still does the donkey squat 90% of the time.

Lottie ELizabeth Hotaling I think Cooper is going to take after daddy.

Yvonne 't Mannetje Moyo was early lifting his leg -cause uncle Ch'ami did it- but he's never able to balance. He pees over his front legs most times <sigh> Ch'ami was/is lazy it took a long time to lift his leg, and in the pre-Moyo period he only lifted his leg on walks to mark his territory. But then again so high he often lost balance.

Karen Christensen This little guy had no problem - he didn't do a high arabesque, but a casual sort of lift to about his own knee height. He is alarmingly agile already, no puppy clutziness in this one!

Oür Salukis  A few of my Saluki bitches used to do the 3-carry-1 and nail doorposts! Teaching the boyzzz.

Karen P. Christensen

Cherry is break-dancing in the vet's office - goofy chick!

Susan Kamen Marsicano Sandy does the same. Didn't you call them "stewing hens"? I heard you.

Karen Christensen Yes, stewing hens. Cherry is a bit lean but might make a nice pot pie.

Mary Beth Printsky My brother used to refer to my sister's pug, Flynt, as a pork roast.

Karen Christensen and I commented the other day that Tutu has a pork tenderloin belly (lean and muscular). I guess we think our doggies are delicious.

Mary Beth Printsky Caesar has chicken thighs. I LOVE THAT BOY!

Michael Primeau

I just had an Epiphany.....when I motion for my dog to jump up on my lap, he always takes a few seconds to jump up. I always thought it was him trying to decide if he wanted to. Now I realize....HE'S DOING THE MATH!

Karen Christensen triangulating?

Susan Kamen Marsicano The first time Pickpocket (born Dec. '75) lifted his leg, back in 1976, he got his foot stuck in a cyclone fence & screamed commensurately.
