  • 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!)

    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.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    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.
