    I'll second that!!! Thank you to all those who serve and their families. And great job by the forum founders!!! And thank you for all the work and dedication that goes into this forum.

  • BBOY-WOO HOO Luv the artistic work with the smileys :) ha ha!

    And hats of to you military wives. I honestly admire you because I know I couldn't do it. CandZ I hope your hubby comes home soon.

    I too am looking forward to meeting some people around here. We are such a great bunch! :D :D

  • Great picture…I was thinking...how many Basenjis and other puppies can you fit on a chaise (or chair and ottoman)?
    Nala has redeemed herself today, but maybe you should offer a Basenji boot camp? Cleo and Nala need to meet!

    Gee, I made some room for Nala's kennel in with the others and now you say she's redeemed herself??? I'll keep the kennel handy, it's just a matter of time.

  • Good idea…I know she'd be loved, though! My kids would have to follow, though. How are you at diapers?? Maybe "Basenji Park and Daycare"?

    Something that pretty, I'd be kissing her all the time.:) She'd get her share of attention around here!:D

    I diapered many a butt in my day.:D I wanted a liitle girl bad and got two boys.:rolleyes:

    A Tri B and a daughter all in one fell swoop!:eek: :)

  • Glad you all could meet up. I guess corresponding over the months kind of makes us feel like we know one another. It's so cool to meet the face behind the name. But, BBoy and RWF - you forgot to say "CHEESE!" :D LOL :D I know, it's all about the Basenjis. Thanks for sharing your visit.

    And yes, my hat's off to the founder of this forum. Me, Duke and my family have all benefited as the information received have colored our world about the life and day living with Basenjis.

    Admin - Thank you! :)

  • i am a military wife too! my husband left 8 days ago for an eight month deployment (navy), this is the longest one we have had to endure. (one of the reasons i got fender in the first place-i still have someone to snuggle!)

  • @Duke:

    We definetly all have to get together for that one.:D Keep that March show in Edison in mind as well…...that has to be really close for you.

    It is an online...."Community" to be sure.:cool:

  • I feel SOOOOOO left out…. are there any other forum members in Tennessee??? You guys are SOOO lucky. I think I shall resort to posting notices at vet offices in order to build up a playgroup of basenjis. We have only met ONE other here in Knoxville, but I know there are others out there and hope to meet them ALL soon.

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    @ukjason That's a good suggestion. I usually ask him to go fetch (or at least touch) the leash - still waiting for the leash to be brought back!!!! Then sit while I put it on. We can extend the session. Thank you.

    As an organization BRAT doesn't foster mixes, but sometimes individual members will, at their own expense. BRAT does maintain a Basenji mix adoption site, but the dogs on there are often ones belonging to other rescue organizations. Individual owners looking to place their B-mixes, I think, have to coordinate their own dogs. When I was BRAT's Basenji mix coordinator I often would coordinate the dogs, but I'm not sure if it's like that now. I know that there are certain individuals in BRAT that don't think BRAT should deal with B-mixes at all. -Joanne

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    Yes Aglie, I remember meeting you and Dig, Jet and family! Dig thought the basenjis were all ruffians, but Jet joined them in a huge wet puddle. Funny about tris liking other tris, we have noticed that occasionally at the park, the reds will all be lying together and the tris will all be together as well. Silly dogs!

    We are in a town house with no yard, so Blaze gets stuck on a long leash. I make it up to him by taking him out to the farm every other weekend, so he runs free on a 1/4 section of land with the farm dog. He sleeps for three days when we get home.
