Hello Again

Member Introductions
  • Shame on me, I once introduced myself and littele forgot to post here.. :(

    A new introducion, from me here:

    I'm Kim, almost 24 years old, married and linving on a ship!
    We sail across the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium to bring material like rolls of steel and food for farm animals.

    On the ship, we have our own zoo ;)

    • Basenji Buana Bizi, he is almost 3years old
    • Basenji Chafuko Amani he is almost 1 year old
    • Podenco Ibiceno Hailey (her real name is Hello I Love You:D ) she is 1,5 year
    • Cat Spaiky, 4years old
    • Rat Sadie she is 5 weeks old :rolleyes:
    • Little Parrots Happy(8 years) and Kip (3 years)

    We don't own them, they own us… hahaha

    With the basenji's we like to show, Buana is Netherlands youth champion and Netherlands Champion. Almost Belgium and international champion. It's a hobby nothing more..
    Chafuko just started and won't be nice to the judges.. so he gets a really good raport but the comments to be nicer.. (yes we train a lot now)

    Hailey is here since six weeks, and replaced because a unsteady home.
    She gained weight now and is such a lovely little girl.. not so little, she thinks she is little...

    Well, i think you know a lot now, otherwise feel free to ask!
    You can also look at our website, www.buanabizi.com to look at pictures and lots more!

  • I remember you - I find it really interesting that the animals and you live on a ship. What do they do when you run into bad weather?

  • I am also very interested in what your daily routine is like with your zoo on a ship! They all must be very steady footed. You posted pictures already, yes? Way back? I remember….I think you posted to the forum when you were about to get Chafuko and now he's almost a year! Time flies! I remember the Ibizan/Podenco too

    Oh we're never in bad weather actually :) , We don't sail at sea, so we don't have trouble with storm etc.
    But if it's cold… They don't want to play outside hahaha

    Yes that's right!!
    Chafuko is almost one year now! :p
    Like i said above, gladly (is this a right english word? hihi) we don't have to be steady footed.. I'm really sea sick (weird combination huh :rolleyes: ) and never was sick before ( hope it continues this way hahaha)

    The Ibizian you remeber is the sister of our Hailey, Pentah. She was staying for 4 months at our place, before she went to Australia!
    If it's a miracle, our dream came true and we've got one for our selves now!
    Only the bad time Hailey got before she got here was not fine… :(

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    Bungwa has a very dry mouth and I only managed to get a very tiny white patch on the test card but it was still sufficient to do the test with that. It only turns white when it's dry - the instructions are quite explicit. Of course as Pat says it could be a bad test form.

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!
