Ivan has no photos doing rally or other amazing feats. But he did ask me to send a photo of the collection of trinkets he brought to me, very specifically and deliberately, in the month of September. Interesting collection of (?) gifts.

There were some other things like his toys and bones but those are brought for different reasons and with a vastly different expression on his face.

Every Basenji owner knows, the bed-making struggle is real

"Oh my COD!" This is what you holler when your 15.5 year old Basenji swipes a raw piece of Costco's finest boneless cod off of a plate on your counter and scarfs it right down.
KITA! My recipe calls for FOUR cod fillets. Now it's going to have to be 3 cod fillets and a rogue piece of mahi mahi. To all the new owners of Basenjis out there who ask " when will my dog settle down?" My answer is - NEVER! As long as they are ambulatory, have most of their mental facilities, and can draw breath? Never. Never turn your back. And for cod's sake keep your $$ fish out of harm's way!!

Reminds me of the sad story of a Christmas Eve dinner and the foie gras that was almost served to the guests.

Emmanuelle Occansey oh Manu ... my ex made a beautiful salmon mousse for a New Year's Eve party we had many years ago - and my first Basenji snuck into the living room and ate 1/4 of it! It was one of those lovely mousse recipes made in a mold that looked like a fish. We put the whole thing into the food processor and served it as a "dip" with crackers! Lol!!

Karla Kraus Schreiber sounds exactly what I would have done too ! (I may or may not have done something similar on one occasion... Or more! ?)

I'm so lucky that Aston is not much of a food thief. I had some in the past who were unrepentant and very, very clever. My first Basenji was just a puppy when one of my Great Danes not only stole stuff out of the bottom freezer in our Admiral fridge … See More

Subsequently I had half a dozen Basenjis that were very adept at stealing food, although Teafer was by far the smartest and found many more ways to satisfy her urges.

A couple of years ago I saw Luke quickly exiting the kitchen and discovered I was one lamb chop short. I imagine he quite enjoyed it.

I think my Roombas being not Roombas are defective. They work by trying to trip me so I spill the goods, then repeat and repeat. ROOMBA DOG - A FOREVER HOME ANIMAL RESCUE.

—Sizzle, you have disappeared my slipper so thoroughly, I'm going to have to vacuum.
—Success!

Luke walk story - Well, it was wet out this morning so Luke did his business quickly then sat down and didn’t want to continue. Ed tried talking to him to come along, took a few steps. Luke, not to be dissuaded took hold of the leg of Ed’s jeans and gave him his best eye contact. He’s such a sweetheart. Harley the walking bot and I continued so Luke decided he’d come along after all.

How many photos have I taken with this view? Hundreds, I think. And today as I contemplate this view I wonder to myself why the Basenji fur doesn’t feel like the fuzzy side of Velcro – it should, given how much of their time they spend attached to me! No argument that I am more like the bristly side!

Someone is playing hide and go seek. I came out for lunch and found she burrowed behind the pillow and would just quietly peek out at me

Might she snack on the corners?

Nope - she is such a good girl, never even thinks to round a corner.

Tamara Allen I have lots of chewed corner pillows from Obike I think. And I don’t even let Jasper and Ivy lounge near throw pillows (although on the rare brief occasion they are on the couch they’ve chewed some). And also chewed parts of ears and tail… See More

Natalie- neither Stella or Tippy are destructive - Tippy has stuffies that are intact and are 8 years old. Her favorite duck is threadbare (fur-bare?) from her licking it. Next up on her fav list is her froggie. None deconstructed. With Batsy I would… See More

Natalie - when Klaus the German nuclear plasma physicist stayed with us several years ago we told him, keep your door shut, don't trust Andiamo. She ate one of his theory papers. He just sighed and said, "well you did tell me...." and I was like "yeah I thought it would be easier to train a guy with two Phd's but I guess that was an error on my part..."
