New PUPPY! (with photos…)

[Basenjimamma]

She is adorable..Shaun looks very happy..siblings are good. I've had more than one dog since 1998..now we have 4..they love each others company..then again, they love your alone company as well though..

Cuteness overload! OMG wow, that is WONDERFUL! So very cute. I agree, the cheek to cheek one should be on a calendar!

Adorable puppy. Glad to see that Shaun is doing so well.

Great pics congrats on the new addition to your family!

Thanks everyone!

Its great to have two dogs again. Two days ago was Valentines Day, the one year anniversary of our losing Mojo. We had Mojo (a Catahoula) and Shala (a Rhodesian Ridgeback) for many years. Our lives with these two were simply wonderful. We lost Shala first and poor Mojo managed for a good year by himself until his end finally came. We will miss them always.

Switching to Basenjis is a new adventure for us, but call us smitten! Shaun has been great. But its a ton of fun having two young vital dogs in the house again. Mbali is so comfortable now with jumping onto "Shaun's chair" and snuggling with his big bro for warmth. The strides she has made in one week is quite remarkable…

@Kirsten:

Precious!!:)

Oh yes, remembering our dear departed friends whilst enjoying the company of our current hounds…

Bitter sweet, no?

I was asking this question to Sherri the other day: "how much money would you spend to have just one afternoon on a warm day with Shala and Mojo together again, romping in warm field - and meeting & playing with Shaun (and now Mbali)???"

I bet most of us have this fantasy: having your current pets meeting your departed (from this world) pets from yesteryear, just for one glorious afternoon...

What a gorgeous face. Someday I'd like a puppy exactly like her. Beautiful pictures, too. My favourite was the very first one on the blog. Too cute. Look forward to seeing more pics as she grows. Will she get to "play show-dog"?

Super cute…congrats on the new addition. I'm sure you're finding out that 2 basenjis are just so much fun. BTW, I love the black & whites!!!

[Shaye's Mom]

She is just beautiful - I'm sure Shaun and your new puppy will be the best of buddies. Little girls tend to love older "brothers."

Congrats on the new addition!!!

We have similar stories, I started out with my r/w boy and 12 months later my b/w girl came along!!!

Looking forward to photos & stories on the blog.

Is this Lil's puppy?

[SeattleMax]

Yes, this is Lil's puppy. Do you know Katie?

Yes, I met Katie about a year and a half ago when I started showing my first basenji. She has been very supportive of my journey into the competitive dog world. I wasn't at the Evergreen Basenji Club show this past August when Shaun made his debut, perhaps we will meet at a show or lure coursing event sometime

I a red/white boy named Dude and a b/w girl named Ono.

Looking forward to seeing & hearing about your furkids adventures!

[SeattleMax]

Cool!

Shaun's sister already has her championship and competed at Westminster! We are so the luke warm slackers on the show dog stuff.

We are interested in trying the lure coursing this summer though…

[pacificNWbasenji]

Lure coursing is a BLAST, my dogs LOVE it! It is the coolest thing watching their instincts kick in and you can see how much fun they are having when they are out there running.

My dogs sister was at Westminster as well, it was fun watching it and rooting for friends & 4-legged relatives

Congratulations! And enjoy

[Kebasmom]

Love that "innocent" little face. LOL!!

[sharronhurlbut]

I look forward to meeting you and your 2 b's ringside one of these days.

[BaNHANerZzz]
