    Gorgeous pics of the handsome Kipawa. I couldn't help noticing all the lovely pieces of driftwood too.

    Ohhhhh yes… the driftwood. :) If I could pick up some of the fine pieces and bring it back in my car, I would. It would make some great landscaping features.

  • He's growing up fast! I just love that 2nd photo, the wrinkles and that smirk of his… adorable. :D

  • Hello Fran and Kipawa!

    He is looking marvelous…so big and happy. I love the pic with three legs off the ground and all the ones with the waves (looks like curiosity turned into "heck no, I don't want any of that!").

    I'm glad to see he is doing so well. Scarlett started her basic obedience class last Saturday and I think she will be in the bottom of her class:) B's just have a way about them..." Heel!, What's in it for me!".

    Therese's B's are the greatest! IMO;)

  • Beautiful Pictures. He sure has grown!!!

    Hello Fran and Kipawa!

    Hi Walter and Scarlett! Don't fret about the classes, just do the best you can. Kipawa was somewhere in the middle of the class. Basenjis go at their own pace, I believe. I also found that by the last 10 - 15 minutes of the class he had decided he had enough. Just work at home with Scarlett - 10 mins. max per session. I found that really helped us. And, lots of praise and some treats always help. :) Hope to see you both at the Evergreen Basenji Club specialty in August! We will be there as admirers of all the dogs that will be shown.

  • Wonderful pictures Fran..he is looking smashing..a lot like one of my favorite boys..and yours too I believe…Tillo..I see a resemblance for sure.

    Lucky boy to have you as his momma.

  • I am planning on going with my girlfriend and our precious Scarlett. We wish you, your husband and Mr. K all the best! :D

    Are you familiar with Tsawwassen? Take the main drag (56th) and drive straight until you hit the border. Carry your dog's vaccination papers with you in case they ask to see them (they rarely, if ever, do). Of course, you will need your passport. Go through the border and travel straight down the road. Eventually you will see a marina on your left. Continue on the road, which veers to the right. Continue until you see Marine Park. Park your car and head out for a great walk!

    I only ever see BC licence plates there! Oh, and don't forget to get cheap gas! We use the station called Can-Am. Their prices are always the lowest. You will be blown away by what you save. Filling up my coupe here with premium gas costs me about $110 and I can fill up there for $75.

  • What a handsome boy! And he's getting so big!!

    Wow, that first picture is great! If I hadn't of known otherwise, I would of guessed that that was a stuffed doll of a Basenji! His eyes are almost like sew-on button eyes!

    I'm in dreamland… the U.S. Virgin Islands. What a gorgeous place to raise a basenji! The 'father and son' pics are great.

    @Basenjimamma: funny.. Webcams are a blessing but I also think that before the cams we ventured more on a limb as supposed to take the comfort road and stay in if the weather looks iffy. The dogs probably don't care one way or another, pending rain of course.. I do go up there when it's foggy only I know how to dress or at least take a jacket. In the summer it's usually about 58-61 degrees with the fog.
