Another basenji slave in western PA

Basenji Talk
  • I was walking Senji, and a woman was driving past. She turned around to ask me if he was a basenji. It turns out she lives about a mile away and has 2 B's…male and female siblings. She said she got them from a breeder in Ohio. I didn't get to talk to her too much...Senji was yankious. Anyway, she told me the street she lives on. I'll have to look her up someday.

  • We live in W PA also, Eau Claire. A small local newspaper / printer office near us … I was surprised when I learned recently the owners had two basenji's; but they just had to put down the older one [due to very bad old age health issues].
    I drive by Jeannette 2x a year on the way to my neurologist's office in Greensburg so I know the whereabouts of the town you live in.

    Another PA resident here! I live near Mercer, PA. I used to work in Foxburg, but I'm now in Franklin. Eau Claire is such a nice area. I used to take the "scenic route" home from work through your town! Small world ;-)

  • We got Bisa from Rugosa Basenji's near Toledo, OH. She is a FANTASTIC person / breeder!

  • Yes! a very small world! :)

    Aaaah … Rt. 58 W ... yes a nice relaxing drive along it!

    I go to Franklin a lot ... love the Liberty Street antique shop! Can't think of the name of the restaurant on Liberty Street ... but the spaghetti is sure fantastic! :) Also like the French Creek Cafe.

    Yes, it IS a very beautiful drive along the back roads. I love going either 308 N to the Rt. 8N exit to Franklin as well as 38N to Rockland and up to 322 W to get there too. I'm not much for one to be on heavily traveled roads or interstates but do when I need to.

    Have you been to Foxburg lately? If not, stop in and eat at the pizza shop; tell Georgine and Steve that "Marsha" sent ya! <g>I miss the specialty made hot teas and missed being able to eat breakfast at Divani Chocolates; I'll have to stop in their Franklin shop next time I'm up there.</g>

  • I know of a couple in Emlenton who have a Basenji [sadly the oldest passed away recently]. We had a good time swapping 'unique' stories last time I saw them at their business. :p)

  • What fun to be made on the street that way.

    I got 2 females, looks like already they get well along, but sometimes not so well. Be safe and get the opposite..

    Love the picture of Achilles - that "one paw in the air" stance is really nice - my girl, Shaye, stands like that when she is considering whether she can get to a squirrel or some other thing before the leash runs out…....

    Here's an update on Lana: since the Hips/Eyes/Fanconi is all good/normal/clear (still waiting for thyroid), we actually went ahead and selected the male, absolutely stunning Ch. Bushbabies Red Ryder, from Bushbabies Basenjis in Livermore, CA. Waiting for Lana to come in heat! They are a very good match, body and personality, should be pretty nice puppies!

    my thanks to all of you for your wonderful advice - i will take everything that you all have said into consideration before making a decision - however my wife and i have decided that our grieving over the loss of our 4 year old is not over yet so we are going to delay any decision until we can get past this point - with that in mind, and realizing how difficult these discussions have been for me, i am going to unsubscribe myself from this site until such time as we can come to better terms with our situation - again, my thanks to all of you for trying to help - Manny
