    I dont know how many of you Tampa people read this forum. Thanks for a great day at the park.

    Today was Cairo's big day to meet the pack. He was very reserved and was almost eaten by a rescue greyhound that likes to eat running fast puppies that scream! LOL

    We survived that, and was it worth it! Cairo and Caesar played for about 4 hours with their basenji buddies…..

    And the cute little girl who I still have a hard time remembering, runs like the wind! :)

    Cairo has is rabies tag and is 14weeks old this week. He is a little guy of 11 lbs and loves to be cuddled. I am guessing he will be more playful and outgoing next week once he sees familiar faces!!

    All the female basenjis were super sweet to him. Oh, and the boy basenjis were all cool, but he is to young to join in the crazy runs through the park.....Cairo would sit at my feet watching them run like crazies!!

    Thanks again everyone!!

    I'm going to be down to your area in June - w/out dogs though :( What day of the week is it 'basenji' day at the dog park - maybe it's when I'm there.

    Basenji owners and this breed are unlike any group I have met before. We have several owners that have had basenjis in thier lives for over 20years. They are great! They have so much experience not only with illnesses, death and birth, but behavioral advice as well.

    These are wonderful action photos! So glad you're sharing them. Would be nice to take my kids to a park like this. I'm going to have to do some investigation in my part of the world.

    Well the boys loved it. It was like Davis Island and Westpark put together x5. A bit stressful since they were high on crack when we first arrived going opposite directions. I finally got Cairo to calm down and stay close by…. no other basenjis there :( I will try again next week.

    Just got back from the Harrisburg show. Willy was only one in his class again and Jasper got Reserve Winner again. NBC was roaming around with a camera crew and came over to interview our little group and asked us about Basenji's. They said the show will air on Thanksgiving day nationally, how much of the interview will make the cut I don't know, but I will certainly watch to see if any of it does.:D

    I came across an enclosed doggie park here in Queens New york. Not very big but the owners seemed pretty alert which is great. Champ loved it, except that we had one big hairy dog enter the area and I knew this was trouble since my B loves to pull hair (mine too) anyway as soon as Champ saw this dog he was off and I was off after him. Callin ghim to come over,,yeah right. I almost caught him twice then finally I saw him grab the dog and kind of nip and pull. I was so eager to grab him at this point since eventhough I know he wouldn't bite the dog, I'm sure niether the owner or the dog would appreciate getting a haircut from my B. Well as I was running over to them I saw my B grab hold of the dogs tail and pull. Let me just insert this: the other dog was too busy playing with big dogs her size to worry about this little brat pulling at her. Anyway I caught up to my B and put his leash on ending his fun time at the park and when I look down at him, he had a big fur ball in his mouth…how embarrasing. All in all the park was a nice experience and gave my B a chance to run around free without his mommie chasing after him on the leash.
