  • Thank you.. You are welcome!!!!

  • First Basenji's

    Congratulations! I know how you feel to see your Ayo and Rosie run free. To think of a Basenji in his native land, exploring etc allows you think of how you are able to give him what he loves to do! I trust in the dogs' natural instincts to be wary of danger such as with snakes. I have seen my dogs actually come up on one (I was able to keep calm because I recognized it as a non-viper) and when the snake coils up, the nose knows and they jump backwards like a spring! It is good to hear that you have about the best recall a B owner can have, and around distractions one can only expect less! At least he looked at you!!!! Beautiful surroundings!

    Wow – that is a very lush, beautiful looking place! I love the story of how Ayo led you to it.
    Your dream is my dream too. Congratulations on having a little piece of sanctuary to call your own!


  • Congrats on your new home, it looks lovely.


  • Congratulations and what lovely pictures. Everything looks very beautiful and the dogs obviously love it.


  • Thank You, .. I am very excited. Cant wait to get started on this. I am now desigining a little cabin to put in it. It will be done little by little, because I dont have much left over after buying the land. First just one large room with a a bathroom and a fireplace… Here are a few more picures of the scenery.

  • Congrats! We built our cabin on my Husband's family homestead farm. Cricket loves to run free!
    We bought our cabin plans from: http://www.cabinplans123.com/cabinplans.php
    We got the C0432B 24' X 18' Cabin. The plans are very thorough and easy to understand.


  • Thanks a lot!! Very nice cabins!.. I am an architect and although I've designed my "dream" house about eight times already, now that I actually have to design my real house I can't seem to decide how to do it.. It so much easier to design other people's spaces!!!! Also the VERY limited budget makes it harder..


  • That looks incredible! Congrats.


  • What gorgeous property-I bet the Bs are loving it-all that land to run around on!

    Knipper, I like those cabin plans. Most have nice sized porches. I would like to have something like this when I retire-buy some land and have something like this built. My sister bought a cabin near a lake in Ohio and she did not have to pay much for it. This is her vacation home for the time being but I think she will retire there. I want to live in a warmer climate though and a state with less property taxes!

  • More lovely pictures! You've got plenty of forest too. I look forward to seeing your plans especially to your own design.

    Hi there! I have to post a picture of Kai (Pharoah's brother) soon. It is so funny, as clear and white as Pharoah's white parts are, Kai is completely spotty with ticking and mottling. His stomach is predominately dark spots. It is actually pretty cute - my daughter says he looks like ranch dressing. His sister, Willow, is the opposite - clear, clear white with no freckles at all. The female that the breeder kept is spotty like Kai. I guess you never know how it is going to turn out, since when we got them, there was no freckling at all (although Kai did have a little ticking). Kai and Pharaoh do look alike, besides the spots - they all held on to those wrinkles really well. How much does he weigh now? Kai is a beefy 23 pounds (that was 3 weeks ago). Willow was only 17.2 at the same weigh-in. The breeder was a little surprised by how big Kai is, but he isn't overweight. Her female is still small like Willow. She said she really strives for gender differentiation and she certainly has achieved it - not only do they look completely male and female, Kai carries himself much more like a "hound dawg" than I would expect from a basenji - he tends to sit in a slumpy fashion and flop down when he lays down. Willow is the opposite - completely fastidious and dainty. We are in Santa Fe, NM at the moment, and Kai is covered in pi?on sap and dust and having a ball eating live cicadas. Willow is pristine. How is everything else going? I love these puppies. They are asleep right now with my daughters. When my girls get up in the early morning, the dogs jump in bed with my husband and me. I wake them up at 11:00 pm for a potty break and they sigh and trudge along unwillingly, desperate to get back to their girls. I'll try to get a picture of Kai (and Willow) up soon so you can see Pharoah's brother and sister….
