Hello from Tampa, FL!

  • Penny Lane is adorable - she looks very basenji in your pics on the blog. So glad you are happy with her. We look forward to meeting her on Sunday should you be able to get over to West Park with her.

  • Penny Lane is darling! Can't wait to meet her Sunday.

  • Wow, she is so cute! Thanks for the pictures.

  • what a cutie!!! You are lucky to have found each other and, based on your blog, she looks like she is settling in nicely. You will have lots of fun with that Tampa bunch. I was out there once upon a time and it was a blast!

  • And we would love to see you all again, Agile! Penny Lane will have fun with the youngsters.

  • Hello and welcome to the forum! PennyLane is sooooo cute! And majorly Basenji!!! Your blog gave a great story on how you found her too! Hope to meet you one day at West Park with MacPack and the gang- I live north of Tampa in Citrus County so I do not get to the park on Sundays too often-well worth your time if you can do it. You kinda get a rush with all the Basenjis running around and a great group of owners too!

  • I think we saw Penny Lane on Bayshore today! We noticed a cute 'short' basenji-looking dog and after we got home, I realized it must be Penny Lane.
    Hope to actually meet you tomorrow.

  • Today it rained all over Tampa…except at the dog park! Only a few of us were there 11 till 2-ish, most were worried about the weather. It was just damp and muggy. Hope to see you and Penny another Sunday!

  • Could she be mixed with Bull terrier. That is what i thought when I saw her photos..lovely girl. Love the photo where she has the big smile and the one she is on her back twisted…
    GREAT !!

  • MacPack - Was it around 10-11 a.m? We were out there then :) We live very close by and I love taking her out to Bayshore to run her around. We usually try to go in the evenings after work so she can run out all that puppy energy :)

    I'm so bummed we didn't make it today! We woke up to a downpour over here that didn't end until almost noon. We had planned on going, though! We took her to the Davis Island dog beach and she had a good time! If the weather is nice, we'll be at West Dog Park next Sunday! I'm so excited to introduce her to other basenjis!

    Sharronhurlbut - a few other people have mentioned bull terrier as well, because of the nose. I can definitely see it but wondering if she'd be bigger since they get around 40-50 pounds? We're almost tempted to do a doggie DNA test to find out :)

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!

    I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around. Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
