I am surprised that BT Rescue in FL does not have any potential adopter(s) interested in a young female! I am glad I do not live close as I would want to bring her home although looks too active for my older Bs.

So sorry to hear about your Rottie - they are wonderful dogs, and I know you will miss him a long long time. Hopefully, like all basenjis, Cara will keep you very busy. She is adorable. Congratulations.
Congratulations on your adorable Cara and condolances on your loss of Connor.
He waited just long enough to welcome her.
Cara is pretty darn perfect, wild and loving. Okay perfect for me. I asked for the feistiest pup and got her. Here she is with Leora. Okay and 2nd one only basenji people will understand… it's Arwen making demonic sounds under the covers. Gosh I love Basenji noises.

Just so you know she is really bonded to Leora when not playing wild:
Big hugs to you. So sorry that you lost your rottie child. It is never easy to do the right thing. Now little Arwen can fill your life with love and craziness. BTW, Cara, in the picture above, I LOVE your blouse/shirt. The pattern and colour are really striking!
Loved the video of Cara and Arwen playing while the Rottie (Connor, I assume) watches!

Great videos! I love the demonic sounds, lol
Yes the rottie was Connor.
Well 6 mos next week and still her ears are not up. LOL I may have a defective basenji.
Happy 6 mos to my wild basenji puppy, whose ears are still not up, lol.
OMG she is going to be huge. She is over 23 pounds, not fat in ANY way, as tall as Arwen already. Maybe I should have requested "petite" instead of feisty? Nah. LOL, I adore her. I'd post a pic but am recharging my camera.
These Wimauma pups are all tall kids.
OMG Anne, ya think?
Arwen isn't a delicate flower at about 25 pounds. Cara is probably 30 nor 31 now (taking in to vet next week to weigh), and Cara is tall. She also has longer body and longer neck so when heads are up she is about half a head over Arwen. At 8 mos old I wonder if I'll have a 40 pound dog when her body matures and fills out! Okay maybe 35. Where is my petite 17 pound bitch I hoped to have one day? LOL. Oh well.
You can see more here how she towers over her:
