Hi Anne,

Oh I am so sorry to have already missed so many of your Sunday outings at the dog park :-(. I am missing so much being around Basenjis!!! I have now been volunteering often at the Humane Society shelter as a dog companion, and even managed to see a brindle Basenji mix that had been adopted from the shelter a few weeks ago.

I am keeping fingers crossed so that my husband's schedule changes soon and that I can come to our Basenji outings soon again!!!

Great, thanks, Anne! We'll definitely try to make it next weekend! We're off to Orlando today but should be back by Sunday - unless we take the wrong turn somewhere :-).

Best,

Tia

Happy, happy - My husband's golf tournament has been postponed, so we too can come to the dog park already this Sunday!

Hope to see you all there!

Tia

Hi Anne,

Thanks so much for the warning! I am so very much looking forward to meeting you all - miss terribly Basenji yodelling and tail-wagging. It seems so strange when nobody is here now shredding all of our kleenexes and socks…:-)

My husband will probably be attending a golf competition (at MacDill, I think...) this coming Sunday, so it will probably mean joining your walk only next week, but if he should get cold feet before the golf match, we'll definitely be at the dog park :-).

Hi Anne and MacPack,

Thanks so much for your reply! We live on Bayshore blv so we are practically neighbours then :-).

It will be really great to see Basenjis and their owners here! Unfortunately, I just got sick so it will take a few days for me to get back on my feet again, but hopefully we, too, can be there in the park next week!

All the best from the "mainland" :-),

Tia

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for your reply. I was told on the BBR too to join the local outings on Sundays, but apparently it does seem like there are no breeders here. So will just have to drive over to the park! Hopefully already today - if my husband does not play golf too long this morning…

Hi,

I am a Finnish Basenji breeder and have moved to Tampa, FL, for the next 5 months with my family.

Our two Basenjis (Jallu - import from GB - and Morgan - import from the USA) are back in Finland, so we are missing them terribly! We are now living in Hillsborough, on Bayshore blv, and would love to meet up with Basenji people here in Tampa during our stay.

I have also volunteerd at the Tampa Animal Shelter and am looking forward to helping out there.

Do you Basenji owners here in Tampa still organize Sunday walks or such somewhere close by?

Best,

Tia
