Ginga and BooBoo are wise dogs and they know a great idea when they see one (i.e, cheese sticks and plastic bones: great ideas). So upon hearing about Kyle McDonald's great adventure (Kyle bartered a red paper clip into a house) Ginga/boo thought: "hey clever guy, but we don't have a red paper clip". What they have is an open, 2/3 empty box of dog snacks. So here goes: Ginga/Boo will barter their precious possession for anything until they get their own doghouse. Ginga is slightly food-driven so Booboo had to do a lot of convincing to get Ginga to agree to let go of the box. So C'mon friends, let's hear the offers :).
Now If anyone offers a trip to Paris for Ginga/Boo like those 2 guys here, we might have to reconsider the doghouse :). (Pics from "betty and rita go to Paris")
Update: Rohini's offer ( canine cup for the empty dog snack) has been accepted by GingaBoo :). Since GingaBoo travel' s authorization is still a work in progress, we will have to make believe Gingaboo somehow managed to visit Rohini and shake paws on the deal. :) In fact, GingaBoo had a blast visiting India. They promised to come back very soon, Arf ! Here is the cup: cute, heh ?

Quick BooBoo update
Booboo was limping for some time so we took him to the doctor's. They said that he has a knee dislocation problem. The leg keeps slipping out so either the bone there is not formed correctly or his ligaments are too long or flexible. He has figured out how to put it back in, and it doesn't pain him, but he does have some discomfort and limps a little. Some days he doesn't limp as much, other days he limps more. The doctors suggested waiting for a few weeks and then if things don't improve to try surgery. They will not know which of the problems it is until they actually open the leg and see for themselves. Poor Booboo. Poor Ginga too, as he gets bored because Booboo is not interested in having a dog who weighs 12 kg more than him jumping on him.
Paraphrased from the doggies' aunty's report:
The doggies did have a good time this morning as they went to vacation at their aunt's house overnight. They got to swim in a pond in the morning but they were more interested in playing with each other than chasing the mean looking geese / water fowl or ducks. Maybe Ginga was scared because there were too many of the birds, before there was only one and he had swum after it. The leader of the geese was trying to look big and kept moving his head forwards and backwards, probably threatening to bite. Unfortunately for him the dogs were not looking in his direction and were chasing each other through the duck infested waters. There's something itchy in the water though, because Ginga rubbed his body on the grass afterwards. He also managed to get a fishhook stuck in his leash which took some time coming out. Now how he managed that is still a mystery, maybe he was using his leash as a fishing line :) Next step in dog evolution - learning how to fish and probably exaggerating the fish's size too.
