Thank you all. I will know how to field questions now (it’s not like it was anyone’s business but it was making me feel uncomfortable. I felt people were looking at my beautiful girl like there was something wrong with her!) I love her so much and she truly is beautiful as are all basenjis. Now I know what to say. “Her nipples are proud nipples as yours would be if you had nursed 10 babies twice in your life. “ lol! Thank you all.
Bye sweet Lycia!

how bittersweet, but what a kindness you've done.

Janneke, I just checked out your website and I love the photographers pictures and the pictures taken at the LC in Leek in 2009. There is a picture their of Tillo luring and he is literally FLYING. Maximum extension with no feet on the ground. Lovely picture and a really nice website!
Thank you
Next week we have our first lure course training of 2010, so hopefully more flying pics then

You've done a great job with her Janneke…
I't veryhard to give up your "log?"

Thank you Pat, that's very nice to hear

Janneke, you make me cry…..goodbye to pretty Lycia and I hope you will get over it soon...maybe with new baby-B....:)
-
Yes i must admit your post brought a lump to my throat.
I love all the pics of Lycia's time with you. -
I'm sorry I make you guys cry
I can't reread my own post, without getting tears in my eyes.. haha.. :pWe had a good day today. Tillo was very focused on us during the walks… we had to be his entertainment. He also jumped on the bed this morning to search Lycia (because she always slept there in the morning..) but when he found out she wasn't there, he went back to the floor.. I hope he's not missing her too much.

I second what Pat said… Your dedication to providing a happy, healthy basenji home does not go unheard, you inspire me to keep up on my training and if only I could take photo's as well as you and the BF do! Hopefully the BF will miss having that second basenji enough that you will be able to make that twinkle of a basenji puppy in your eye a reality sometime soon

Currently have a little Lycia curled up around my hip, snuggled deep under the blankets!
I'm popping my head in to say Lycia is doing well in Edinburgh. She slept most of the trip back from Amsterdam and is slowing adjusting to new surroundings. She seems a bit nervous - esp on walks, new environment with out many points of reference. She also likes to plant her nose in Tillo's blanket every now and then - which always makes me a bit teary… hard to think of how she must feel and how confusing things are. However we have many fun filled days coming, we have spent the first two sleeping a lot and having fun snacks, relearning sounds and smells - and of course stealing coke bottles for toys. Tomorrow we are going out to the Royal Observatory for a off lead romp in the hermitage, tons of doggies and bunnies to chase.
No worries, I'll be taking pics... of course not as good as Janneke's
Thanks to all for your lovely words and wishes, and of course above all thanks to Janneke and Job for opening up their hearts and home to a new curly tail. Words can't express the depth of my gratitude.

Thank you for your kind post. BF was the first one with tears in his eyes after Lycia left
So he agrees we should have a girl b of our own. We're on a waiting list for next season, so fingers crossed.. -
And Lauren: good to hear Lyc is doing ok
I hope she will settle soon. -

It is, isn't it!
But I have to say.. Tillo is actually enjoying the fact that he has all of my attention.. gg.. I have a week vacation, so yesterday and today we went to a restaurant to get ourselves a nice lunch.. haha… We had a nice view over the water. We also went to the market. He just loved it! Sitting next to mommy in the car and going to all these fun places. he's a happy pup

Heh. good for Tillo, but poor Job!!!
