Hi Therese & Kevin!
This is Libby, owned by Dude & Ono
To everyone just meeting the Fopaw's crew they are a great bunch, 2 and 4 legged :) Kevin, Therese and their dog owners I have met around the Pacific Northwest have been so nice in welcoming me to our local basenji community.

Hugs to you, Therese. I can't tell you enough what a great young man we were able to get from you and Kevin. He's perfect in the van, excellent in pet stores (we were in one today getting him a very nice warm coat) and is wonderful meeting other dogs. Right now, he is sleeping so soundly - all the activity out with us, and then doing lots of "zooming" in the backyard today has just tuckered him out. There is nothing to not love about him. Transitioning him to our home has been seamless. I think it's all fate - we were meant to have this little dude. So glad to have you here on the forum!

Welcome! I feel like you were famous on this board before you even joined. =)

You all are so sweet and what a nice group to join.
I'll look for photos of the turkey incident. While traveling to Nor Cal for a show with a junior handler and 12 basenjis in our motor home we met a wild turkey on I-80 at 70mph. A 25lb turkey that flushed from the center of the highway and came head first through our windshield.
Replacing a windshiled on a 40' motorhome is quite a task and we were forced to drive the rest of the way to the fair grounds with no windshield (another story all its own).
The best part was when we arrived at the gate to check in and Kevin slid open his toll window on the drivers side to hand them our reservation slip. The whole parking crew was in stitches.
We still have a turkey crossing sign a neighbor at the show had made and posted on the front of our coach.
Lucky for all of us the only injury was a broken neck on the turkey which was put out of her misery by a friends son who was following us in their car. I'm still picking turkey feathers out of corners of our motorhome.
In the mean time here are two of my favorite photos to share. #1 is Kipawa's half brother "Baldar" (same mom) with his Dad "Odin" and #2 is Makena and Megan on the beach (the family who now also owns Baldar.

Welcome Therese and Kevin. I just read your story and tribute to Ace, what a stressful year you have had. I lost my darling black boy on Nov 10 and hope someday to have another sweet black and white boy. Too bad we are on the other side of the country, I would beg to be on your waiting list for a pup(this from a person who has sworn never to take any basenji under 2 years old)!
Your dogs are lovely and it does look like they live in basenji heaven (well, except for all that snow). -
Love your web site, welcome to the board.
