Hello Marian,
Welcome. What a happy home it must be.
We are Kees-Jan and Anne-Marie from Marken, north of Amsterdam. Where do you live? Maybe we can walk together some time? Also check http://www.basenji-club.nl/ for basenji walks.
We have two daughters from Abotere Khamau, Lela and Binti (2,5 and 3,5 years old) - our first dogs, and we recognize a lot that you wrote.
People warned us about getting a basenji, but we have not been happier since they took over our house and hearts. Lela came with us as a pup (enought to keep you busy) and Binti joined half a year later - it took her around 1,5 years to really settle.
Here's a picture with their big mama friend Kiko the Akita https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dNOYjJPSlhUGbZK3LZxvbwxZLf3J_PvRjNp46MdVlt4?feat=directlink
We hope to meet all of you soon.
Hello!

They are so cute, entwined in each other's limbs. Welcome.
-
love the photos! glad you found us…

Welcome, and bless you for adopting wonderful older dogs. 7 & 11 are wonderful ages, my youngest is almost 11, I still think of him as a youngster.
I think that Rocky is 11 going on 3 years old. We went on a trip to the beach yesterday and he had a great time exploring the driftwood at the base of the cliffs. He was way more active than Roxy, but then again she's the very definition of 'couch potato'.

Wow, I'm amazed you found a basenji on Orcas Island. It's so small.
I'm glad you found them both. They look happy.

I love the older b's..they are just treasures…

If it wasn't for Sharron, I'd probably have missed her. Sharron came over to evaluate my house for a potential BRAT adoption, and when that didn't work out, I kept looking. When I saw an email from her about a basenji at the Orcas Island Animal Shelter, I went the next day and brought her home the week after.
i can't believe they haven't been together thier whole lives.
They have their moments together, they have been some squabbles about 'who gets to sit next to me' from time to time. We're working on that.

Thank you so much for taking that b out of the shelter. Anytime a basenji smart home does that, I consider it a win!!!
-
Welcome to you and your Basenjis. How fortunate for them and you that you've given them a loving home.
-
Welcome to the forum, Roxy and Rocky look great together. Look foward to hearing more about them both.

Congratulations on being adopted by two wonderful looking beasties - I mean basenjis!
