    @lvoss:

    Lisa, thanks for bringing her story down. I had to cut the thread short - couldn't finish. (I'm at work - shhh…):cool:
    Thanks everyone! Originally, I wanted to adopt a 1+ year old. I was directed to the BCOSW to see Abby - but I didn't qualify to adopt her, because I have an e-fence. It is a no-no for Basenjis. Since these are B-mixes - it's OK to adopt one of her pups. We think Abby's pups have (2) daddy's. A black lab or mix and a spaniel, brittany or springer. Mine has freckles - so spaniel. I love her tri face! Duke, hopefully will treat this baby with "respect"! Duke's demeanor is Basenji and wanna-be alfa. I'll be needing any advice for their introduction to each other. Hopefully they'll be snuggling together like well behaved kids.

    We haven't decided if we'll keep her name, Vixen. My husband thinks Daisy and Duke make a nice name combo. We'll see - I can't wait to get her home.

    Thanks Jill.
    Wish I was closer to her location.
    Will she be kept until placed?
    She isn't in any danger is she.
    I mean, after all she has been through, that would be a shame.

    The Basenji Club of Southern Wisconsin has her in a foster home. She is in no danger and she and her pups have been getting excellent care.

    Thanks Andrea! I've been pining for another Basenji for some time now, was just waiting for the right time. I saw Abby's story and tried to get her. Wanted to skip the puppy stage because we just went thru it with Duke. We were turned down because of our e-fence. BOO-HOO! Since we are still in puppy training shape, here she comes! Duke is in for a real surprise! His very own live-in playmate! Hope they will become fast friends. I just love Basenji quirks. Hope our girl will have plenty of them. :eek: (Did I say that?)

    @iris-shuman said in I would like you to meet "The 'Marvel'-ous Prince T'Challah" a/k/a Prince: Iris was born in December too Not much of a surprise when you think about it ! Basenjis in the Northern Hemisphere come in to season through September/October/November and whelp their litters November/December/January. A great many litters' arrivals cause the turkey to be put back in the oven on Christmas Day while the puppies are delivered ! Decrease the size of the photo and you will be able to show Iris to all of us. And do as Tanza suggests to Daureen - get her Fanconi tested.

    Keep in mind, unless you correct them "in the act" they really have no clue that they have done something wrong, or more to the point "what they did wrong"…. shredding is pretty natural to a Basenji

    Yes, Bungwa will toss any of his toys into the air and catch them but definitely will not catch anything I throw. He has no competition because the others just look and say 'Boooring'!!! Interesting about your best hunters being fetchers, Quercus. I wonder if there's a reason in it or whether it's a coincidence!?

    The rain stopped thier foray, last week I counted 23 frogs doing laps in the pond while I was in the hot tub next to it. They hide well during the day and come out to swim at night. I added tiny goldfish last night to take down the tadpole population. When I put in larger goldfish a few yrs ago the possums and owls started snacking on them.

    @Humanoid: Love those pictures :) I've been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Surprised to see how many of you that actually was cycling….but it is kind of flat, so you don't have the same challenges as us up here :p Yeah, everybody has a bike here. I'm used to cycle around 20-30 km a day (school). So we make up for the flatness, by cycling for a long distance :p @Humanoid: In the winter, we just have to do other stuff … That's just great!! Looks like a lot of fun! It has been a long time since we had real snow and ice in the Netherlands..
