Sorry I have been absent as of late

  • hi everyone - I love all of you guys and all of the information on this forum. Over the last month and a half, my husband has been needing extra care, and I just can't keep up with some of my activities. Now it is looking like he will need surgery to close his pressure wound. And we are coming up with ridiculous wait times - June/July. His daughter's wedding is in July. Now I'm working hard on speeding the surgery time up, and it is taking a lot of time and energy. Unfortunately, Basenji Forums time is something that I don't have a lot of time for right now. :( I just wanted to let everyone know that I am not gone, just up to my ears in life stuff that makes it difficult for me to have much time for myself, and sadly, others. Hope you are all doing well.


  • I hope things will go well for you and your hubby. Take care of the pressing needs first and then you will have time to get back on here. We do miss you (well I know I miss hearing of you and Kipawa and your stories) but family comes first! Take care and hope to hear from you soon!


  • Please know that we will keep you close in our hearts.


  • Agree with Agile, will be thinking of you. Pressure wounds are hard to heal and difficult to prevent. Hope Darrell can get the surgery sooner!

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @Ashmoore92 It got put on the "back burner" ... I have some, but not enough for a book. I'll circle back around to it.
