@Tayda_Lenny:
Yeah, I saw that also. She was one of the first breeders I talked to about basenjis before I got Tayda - such a nice lady. Does anyone know if she is all right? I know there was something about an accident on her website.
I am new to the site and still trying to learn how to use it.
When I saw the Rugosa B post I thought "give it a try" even tho I have Vickie's e-mail.
We got Bisa [formerly name 'Lucy' when born] from Vickie in May 2008 at the age of 1 1/2 years old. Bisa and her siblings were born Christmas Day, so Bisa is now 2 yrs old. [Bisa means 'greatly loved' in Swahili].
Yes, there was a terrible MVA and Vickie was still recovering from her injuries when we adopted Bisa. I know at that time that she said she hoped to be able to reopen RBs in the future. I send her updates on how Bisa is doing every so often and have heard back from her a couple of times in response to them.
Being one who has survived injuries from an MVA [although not as serious as what Vicki had] I know it takes time for all of the body to heal … that and prayers said for the person who was hurt as well as for the families. So I continue to say prayers for Vicki and her husband and their daughter while Vicki is healing.
Vicki and her husband were wonderful, gracious people and we are glad to have met them. And yes ... she DOES care for her Basenjis with a huge heart of gold. They are her 'babies', just like our pets have been my 'babies' to me. I hope one day she can/will return to the forum. So much could be learned from her.<smiling>
[In my post to finding her on here, I put in a sign that in e-mails comes out as a 'smile' but here in this site it came out as a 'sticking out of tongue'. Wish I would have known it would do that!!! I would never have used it!]</smiling>
