I applaud you for getting a rescue. There are tooooo many out there. For a first timer, an older one would be good, at least 18mos old or more where their personality is who they are at this age. Research all you can, and if you fill out an application and are denied, no not stop trying. I was denied by a Basenji rescue, and Uzie is my second where I found him right here 'free to good home' so we drove two days to pick him up and he is thriving without fenced in yards. (not for everyone as not everyone lives on 10 acres or more…I get this....!) but he has blossomed and doing well. So, don't give up!

Kipawa had a basenji play date today…

Yup…now you see why those of us with multiple basenjis love it!
-
Sounds like Kipawa and Chewie had lots of fun! And I think you are never going to forget your camera again from now on…..

How much fun…
I once had that happen too at the dog park, when I had Otis..we walked closer and through the fence I could see two red/whites and one tri running by..my heart skipped a beat..what are the odds of meeting one basenji let alone three at the park..zilch, zero nada....but we did...come to find out two of tehm had been my fosters for a very brief time until they made it to their longer term foster..whom in turn ended up adopting both of them..small world.. -
Nice for Kipawa…I'm hoping for a chance encounter like that for Scarlett.

'When' it happens, Scarlett will love it Walter. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of you.

I like the saying two are better than one. House is lots of fun and life is great.

Sharon is right, now you know how we get sucked into having more than one. Something about watching them run together that just looks so natural. I had his two sisters and two of my other dogs running the property together in the sun (brief moment of sun) Saturday. It was so great to watch them interact with each other and take turns chasing each other.
Glad he got to meet a friend who was fun for him to play with like that, great experience for him.
Hugs,

ThereseHonestly Therese, I don't know who enjoyed it more, Kipawa and Chewie, or the adults who were watching them!

That's great!! Too bad you didn't get photos, though. Would have loved to have seen them!

It's been a little over 3 months since Mr Baroo came to live with us and Karin and I are grinning most of the time because of the wild play times with Bitty. She had been developing a severe case of couch potato untul he came. Now every time they go out the back door it is at a dead run and Mr. B leads Bitty on multiple circles of their 1/4 acre yard.They are so awesomly beautiful when they run likle that.
