Re-Introduction :-)

Member Introductions
  • Hi, I'm Linda, and I've been a member (though not a terribly active one since Facebook arrived) for a bit over 10 years. WOW! I became involved with Basenjis in early 2001 when I adopted a mostly blind 15 year old red and white B girl named Crystal who was about to euthanized because she was blind. She had belonged to an apartment neighbor of mine who had fallen on hard times, and since I was at that time moving to a house with a good safe yard with my elderly Lab mix, Camin, I offered to take Crystal, because other than her vision issues, she was still full of energy. In the remaining year of Crystal's life, she captured me heart and soul on behalf of all Basenjis forever!

    I have been an active volunteer with BRAT (Basenji Rescue and Transport) for nearly as long as I've had Basenjis. Two of my current Bs, 15 year old Tag and 13 year old Ivee, are BRAT rescues. Taj, who you will find ample mention of in my old posts as my little guy I've raised from a pup, is now 13 as well. I also have a non-B muttlet, Little Horse (age 11 or so), who came to me via BRAT connections, but that is a long and complex story.

    I would attach pictures of my crew, but I can't quite figure out how to do it in this new format, but I will share when I get the chance.

    Have a barootiful day,

  • Welcome back Linda.

    I also didn't know how to post new pics here...! But it turns out it is easy. You can either link to a picture account (like photobucket) either pasting in link address...

    or simply upload here by clicking the end icon and finding the pic on your computer

    Thanks for the info! That was easy. This is a picture of Tag and Taj from a couple of years ago at a South Coast Basenji Fanciers fun meet. Would you believe these two, er, chubby and mature men tried lure coursing for the first time that day and LOVED it?

    This is Ivee from a bit over a year ago being ever so slightly judgmental of my skills as her driver, LOL.

    Congratulations on your new 2-legged pack member and how well Tucker has seemed to recover and accepted his new baby brother. Bless you and your family and again, congratulations. P/S….you're probably a step ahead of other newer moms. Having a Basenji in the home means you've already baby proofed the house.!!!! :)

    Hi Jill, You mentioned before that we probably live near each other. I just learned here where you aquired Duke! Wow! Was the other pup a black and white? I was initially attracted to the red and white which Joey is, but have seen some beautiful b/w. I doubt we would ever get another dog but it's fun to think what is might be like to have 2 Bs. Perhaps some day we could meet in a park to walk the dogs. Joey is 11 months and not neutered yet. He is tolerant of all dogs and aloof. We met his sister, Tory, who was taken at 8 wks and she is nasty! She snarled,"barked", etc at her brother and he just looked at her like she was crazy! We all laughed! Tory's mom is a friend of mine and how I found Joey. Send me a private email if you are interested. I'm sure I could learn a lot from you.
