Excited for the new arrivals!

Basenji Rescue
  • wow! that's a lot of good news. And I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I feel I must warn you about getting a dog named Pearl. A few years ago we adopted a rescue malinois named "Pearl". I did not know that "pearl" was short for pearl-petual motion.

    good luck to your parents - hopefully maybe they will post pics here.

  • Lol. Well she is a Vizsla.. so I think we are expecting perpetual motion, as well as velcro. my goodness, she literally looked stuck to my moms lap last night

  • I'm looking forward to seeing all the pictures! There can never be too many pics! And yes, Therese is a gem. :)

  • What great news Lauren.
    Vizslas are lovely, i look foward to seeing pics of Pearl and Tucker when he arrives.

  • Lauren..I am over here in TX doing a happy dance for your parents..I am so happy to hear that it is all coming together for them…do you think we'll see some pictures one day..I would love to see Pearl..she sounds stunning..Tucker too of course :);)

  • Congratulations to your parents, I predict some wild times at their home!

  • I'm hoping for wild times! :D Pearl is a total sweetie, my parents had a mom's day party and she was a big hit. Poor doll is still feeling a little lost but I think security will come eventually. I will certainly lean on them for pictures, Mom is normally willing but has no idea about computers ;) so I'll try to teach her when she visits me. I'm excited for some Basenji play dates with Dan and Curlytails !! Someone will be bound to take some photos.

  • Lauren,
    We are also thrilled about Pearl, Kevin and I think Tucker will be even happier having a pretty red head to play with. I told your dad yesterday we laugh everyday with Tucker and I just know they will enjoy him. Tucker officially goes to them 5/28/11 so I will take my camera for the meeting and post photos. Fingers crossed its love at first site, I suspect it will be. By the way Kevin has nicknamed him Tick Tack Tuck, it makes his tail wag.
    We have really enjoyed fostering him for his breeder and former owners, he is the son of my boy Ace and has very much his dad's personality. Hope we get to meet you as well in the near future.
    Therese and Kevin

  • Thanks so much for your kind words Therese. We are so looking forward to the coming weeks, and I am certainly looking forward to finally meeting Tucker myself. I do indeed suspect that we shall meet one day in the future. I would be quite honored myself to perhaps one day have a little FoPaw of mine own…. or I I could always steal tuck from my parents. :D

  • Does this mean you are going to be in California at the end of the month, Therese?

    Exactly what I think/feel. As the owmer and mother to the dog we are bound to keep a better eye on them than nobody…right? It is almost like a slap in our face when they say they have to keep them, but oh, yeah, no nobody stays with the animal overnight...are you kidding me? I would push the issue as best I could to see if either they can guarantee supervision in their clinic overnight, or she is coming home with me..

    I wish I could take credit for this post, but it's just information that BRAT shares with folks who are either fostering or adoption a basenji. BRAT really does try to cover the bases with inof re new dogs and owners.

    Yeah, I'm kinda interested in knowing what this means, just curious: "Unfortunatly I am at a point in my life where I can't provide him with the proper care that he deserves."

    I am so glad Foxy and Cami have such a good and loving home. The whole thing was so awful, though their former owner must miss them terribly, knowing they are loved and safe now surely be a huge comfort. Hooray for you, for rescuing 2 good girls. Anne in Tampa
