B&W in Portland, Maine

    So I walk out of my office building to go grab a coffee with a friend and I turn the corner and there is a guy walking a black & white basenji girl - I almost walked right into them!

    I had quite a long conversation with him - he was shocked that I owned 3 :D:D:D. He found his girl (she looked to be a pure bred) at a local animal shelter 1.5 years ago - she is now about 7yo. He said he had always wanted a basenji and started looking and found his girl right off the bat - it was fate.

    Of course, I realize now that I forgot to tell him to come here for great info. Seeing as he is so close to where I work, hopefully I'll run into him again and can let him know about the forum.

    What a coincidence! And how cool that it was fate for him to have found his pup that way…
    A similar coincidence happened to me on my way to visit my parents in June. We had stopped to get gas and snacks for the ride in a neighboring town (Bristol, VT) and turned the corner to start our journey and a lovely black & white "senior" was being walked with another dog and two woman with a baby jogger! I pulled over and talked with them for a while. She knew of another B in the same town (a R&W that I had seen)...
    So funny how that happens...

    Very cool.. I was actually walking Otis a while back and my neighbor's girl friend, popped her head out to scream.."is that a basenji?..I used to have one when I grew up" She went on to tell me how much of a pain in the a– they are, and I kindly nodded and let her go on..but I have yet to actually meet one.

    Our mail man had Basenji as boy growing up. He never really say much drop mail but a short time after we got Jaycee he seen her at door. Jeff is his name knocked at door and ask if he could see her. That may have been best thing that ever happen. Jaycee waits on Jeff everday and always happy to see her.
    He told us here week or two ago he and his wife never had kids at least not yet he said he would claim Jaycee.

    Q
    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(

    My cat was here for nearly 15 years before I got my B puppy. The puppy of course wants to play, and the cat hates her with a passion. The cat stands her ground and growls, hisses, spits and goes after Shaye with claws raking - the one thing that perhaps is going to save my B is that she is learning the "leave it" command, and is starting to ignore the cat when I give the command. They will never be friends, but eventually I'm hoping the dog ignores the cat through the "leave it" command. The command is even beginning to save my couch, pillows, chair legs, etc., etc. - keep at it!

    I have seen the people who have dogs in the large crates weighed at check in. Only because it was a large carrier. Honestly I would carry her because it gives the appearance that they are lighter then they appear.
