Yes, I'm glad to hear differing opinions! We're keeping our options open but leaning toward a purebred waterdog of some sort. I'm sure I'll be back later with questions about how to integrate a new puppy in to a home life ruled by a cat (and with an African basenji in the mix)... :)
What a beautiful video! Thanks so much for posting it - I've sent it to others I know who will appreciate it. The music is also very nice - must admit I worried a bit toward the end, when the total weight of the seal went over her - good for her ignoring the fishy breath to let the obviously smitten seal love her.
@AJs:
See, Dan? First you tick everybody off, now you make everybody cry.
But you're still not getting off the hook that easy. You will NOT be banned and in fact will be required to stay. :D
What?! That's it I'm going back to my stupid jokes!
Ms. Rita Jean:
I have yet to locate the off switch on any Basenji and I've been around them since I was a baby. When you find it, you will let us all know, right?
that was really interesting. reminds me of the book "If Dogs Could Talk" (bad name for a book, but really good book)
