I was living in Ghana for a few years and the year before I left had gotten my dog as a puppy from a neighbor. We became so attached, of course, that I couldn't leave him behind. It actually was very easy to bring a dog into the country–only a proof of rabies vaccination was required (surprising since the US has the strictest immigration laws for people!). He has adjusted very well, loves taking walks with a leash (in ghana he would run wild, and follow me around on my bicycle.) He refuses to walk in wet grass, though, which is something I think he shares with basenjis? I didn't post any pictures of how his forehead wrinkles--that's when he looks most like a basenji!
Finally, 4 dogs and 2 kiddos later..

…we have our Christmas card..
It took a lot of work, buckets of sweat and treats out the jing jang..but here it is..don't mind the not so sharp contrasts..after all the work of 6 living things looking this way and that...we are pleased..very pleased.
..can you smell christmas in the air??

What a crew! You're a lucky kid, terrier(I think), dachshund, podengo and basenji mamma!

jepp, Luna is a terrier mix..yorkie/ min schnauzer..our black westie we call her..we had a westie for 12 yrs, Bogus, and she is just like him, smaller, but spunkier then all get out..
She is my daughters dog, the dachshund, Gus is my son's dog and of course Otis is mine and Moses is my hubby's..makes for a great, well rounded family..add the cat and the coop to that and you have a circus..lol. -
Nice picture! The Podengo is huge now!

Fab picture, can't believe how big Moses is now

:Great Christmas card - must have been a hoot trying to get everyone to look at you at the same time! Couldn't convice the cat though, huh?:D Just kidding - we did a Christmas card one year with our two cats - took us over an hour to get them to sit next to each other - they never did do "eyes front."
-
What a truly handsome family! You are blessed!

Thanks all for your nice comments..and yes Moses is huge now..we call him our reindeer..if I only had some antlers home..he'd be wearing them in the picture..
The best treats…roasted almonds..they went nuts for them and sat ever so proper..funny, since I had every treat in the book out, from stinky salmon nuggets to lovely bacon bites, with peanut biscuits and liver treats in between..nope roasted almonds..sure why not.
They did swell, the kids on the other hand..such a handfuls..LOL -
VERY nice pic! Love it!
