I just heard from Marc and he said …...Mia can come to live with us.
My heart is filled with joy. I can't help but cry tears of joy. -

That is wonderful news, Lisa!!
I'm so happy for you, Mia and Mark.
Additionally, if you are reading this Mark, thank you so much for all you have done on behalf of this country. Gods speed to you on your next tour. I hope you can rest easy a little, knowing Mia is well loved.

Thank you all so much for your help and information over the past few days. The people here are much more generous than I'm used to and it's refreshing.
Lisa, you seem so genuinely excited that it makes ME excited for Mia to go to a loving home. I'm a little sad but at least I can keep the bathroom door open without worrying about a TP storm when I walk by!

Glad this everything has worked out so well… and I would also like to add God speed and a safe journey on your next tour. While you will be placing your pup in a great home, I think.... Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.
And by the way... you will miss not having your TP all over the house...ggg

Remember Marc…We would love to keep you updated with her progress. Just let me know where I can contact you after you leave for duty.
I am having a hard time concentrating on my work today. All I can think about is letting all my family and friends know. I am sending her pics to everyone I know.
Also Marc, thank you for serving our country. You and all the men and women are in our prayers.

Marc,
I too want to thank you for your service to our country. As a veteran myself I know how it feels to have to leave your pet with someone else when you get deployed and then deciding that the best place for them is with that someone else. You are doing the best thing in the interest of Mia which is awesome, someday you will be able to have a pet again.
Stay safe.

A couple more pics, like ya asked Lisa. I took about 30 pics, but she's blurry in every one because she won't stand still! And no, I'm not choking her in the one.. she's chewing the soy sauce off my hand from lunch haha

What a cutie! I'm so glad this is working out well for everyone. Sounds like she'll have a great home and while it's hard for you to let her go, it is the best thing for her.

Congratulations to all involved. Love this happy ending.
Marc take care of yourself and check in here from time to time if you can to let us know how you're doing. If you need anything when you're over seas, let us know. I'm sure there's plenty here that are willing to send care packages. Be safe, and God speed.
Lisa, your excitement is catching. You'll be a great new 'mom'. Perhaps you can start a new diary thread from when you start out to pick her up, and all your following weekly ups and downs. That way, if Marc can't read here when he deploys, you can print and snail mail him.

Lisa - I'm so happy for you.
Altho, I'm sorry I won't have the opportunity to meet you, Marc, and Mia.
With faith, everything works out the way it should.
A big hug to you and Marc from my furry family and me.Please keep us updated on your Basenji experience. :)

What a darling. Sadly, my girls were orphaned and adopted after their spirit was almost broken. Y'all have the opportunity to give these pups a wonderful life.

Yeah!! I love reading stories like this. I was able to adopt Miles, our boy with the help of a former member of this site. Hurray Basenjis and Basenji-People!! :)

What a wonderful happy ending!
And Marc, if you can keep in touch with us while overseas then you can live vicariously with Mia and all her new beastie friends.
You will be in our prayers and we hope you come home safely (and thanks for serving in our place). -

Hi Everyone….
I spent the afternoon doggie shopping for Mia. I am so excited I could hardly focus. A friend of mine took me to all the right places. She was the leader of our pack. LOL
Personally I am not a big fan of the color pink but I know a R/W Basenji looks great in pink. Needless to say alot of the items I purcased incorporated shades of pinks. I even purchased a pink & white tee shirt that says LIttle Princess.
After our little shopping spee, I went to a restaurant and had an ice tea. I should say a Long Island Ice Tea. That is just what I needed to calm myself down.
We are so thankful to Marc for choosing us to be Mia's new mommies. I can't wait to pick her up. Saturday can't come fast enough!!!!:) -
