    hello –

    my name is Matt gerdes-- I live In iowa Usa--- I currently have a 13 year old basenji named Lexus( we call her lex- or PIP( after pippy longstocking- because of lex's long "socks") I joined the basenji forums as I am hoping to learn how to best care for an aging basenji and make her final years with me as graceful as possible-- She is my first any only Basenji and she has really touched my heart like no other dog I have ever had-- It has been an absolute gift and honor to have shared my life with her-- We have been through 100's of adventures together and she has enriched my life in countless ways-- She has gotten me through the worst of times and has always been the most loyal and insightful friend-- A true gift from above-- I am also considering aquiring a new basenji show puppy in the next year or so-And I am hoping to meet some great contacts and develop new friends as well as mentors if /when I do decide to take that leap into the show world-- I am open to any and all input and would also love to see your basenji friends - both show and companion. looking forward to hearing from you all-- Have an amazing day-- barrrrrrrrroooooo!! :)

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.

    Thank you so much for the warm welcome words at the Forum! I was very inspirit by my friend Steve, and think about my new puppy basenji. Although I read that basenjii is not for everybody dog, and it may be challenging however I seriously want to find my own Besenjii friend and to give him the name Kovu in honor of my friend's dog. Thanks again for your warm words! Boris

    @Nicola: Hi Jenny! :D Oh what a shame. :( I was undecided on posting about SKC on the other site, I wish I had done now! Not to worry, we'll meet someday, I'm sure! And of course, I'd love to meet your gang too. I remember hearing someone saying "….Basenji cross" as I was walking by! Who'd have thought it was you! ;) Yes that was probably me lol. Roxy looked very sweet and I'm sure we will meet eventually:D
