Anyone in the Point Mugu/Los Angeles area of CA?

Off Topic
  • I just got back from Los Angeles about two hours ago, DH is out there on travel and I came out to visit the base. We are up for orders next summer and it was a great opportunity for me to visit Point Mugu and see the area in case it is a choice for us. Are any of you from there? It would be great to know that there are Basenji people out there already, that would make an easier transition for me if we get orders there.

  • That area is lovely. We adopted Fiji from a woman in Oxnard, and I think there may be a breeder there.

    We do have a big basenji community here in San Diego - 3+ hours south of where you'll be - pretty long drive but we'd love to see you! :D

    I do agree that there are not always "obvious" disabilities for those with service dogs and that many of the laws/policies (in the US) are oppressive to dog owners i.e. you can be cited, in many jurisdictions, for leaving your dog in the car, but you can't bring them into the store either, or leave them tied up outside. But my OP was in regard to someone I have known for many years, and though she is getting on in years, has no disability, and the dog is not certified, just well-trained. I find this kind of abuse of 'the system' and of people's general kindness to be just wrong. Relating to handicapped parking, I would rather walk from the furthest parking available than park in a handicapped designated spot. My father has a handicapped hang tag (hip and knee surgeries) but keeps it in his glove box and only uses it if he's having a "bad" day. BTW: Kipawa - don't know where she got the "service dog" vest, but probably not e-Bay as she is not very 'computer savy'. I suspect from someone who actually has service dogs. Which, in and of itself, is another problem.

    @lvoss: Not supporting Eukanuba/Iams but every link on that site is an internal one and they are obviously biased and pushing an animal rights agenda. Some of the copy is over the top but data appears solid. Our western culture seems entrenched in the belief other species do not experience pain nor do they have rich emotional lives.

    Shaye points very often when we are out walking - when she sees another animal she will stop and point, always the left front leg. Glad to see other B's do this as well - she looks great when she does this - head in the air, paw curled up - the whole body at attention. When we got Gemma, the B mix who is now Shaye's big sister, I was surprised to see that she does the same - I guess it is part of their nature.

    I would think that if you posted that or dog owner considered, you would have a ton of folks coming to see your place. Good luck.
