Yeah, she is sweet and naughty. I told my husband that we should have called her mischief.

Aww what a pretty baby. It makes me want to get a puppy :P

I live in South Florida :) A bit of a ways from Tampa :(

This is one of the first pics I took of her…when I saw her at the shelter it was love at first sight :). Initially, we were going to try to get a Basenji from the Basenji rescue - but, when we met Lina we had to get her. We know she's a mix, but can't figure out what the other parts of her are.

Hello, I'm pomegranatetears, Lina Marie's human ;).

I adopted a basenji/something mix (the vet can't tell what the other part of her is LOL) and am completely and utterly gaga over the breed. I've never been so enamored with a specific breed of dog (I just like dogs in general) my entire life. In fact, I don't remember ever being so in love with a dog before.

Lina has wrapped our entire family around her small white paw. Anyhow, after I adopted her I read up as much as I could as to how to keep a dog happy and found that they are happiest when someone else is the pack leader. I tend to be an old softie, but am doing my best to be assertive and maintain control over my dog…and she seems very happy about it.
