Happy 4th Birthday Oakley

Hard to believe that my boy is four today (Nov 30th)!! As my first basenji he has been a roller coaster of laughs and cries! I was fully prepared to take home a basenji- three years of research and breeder meetings- then I got home with this ten week old bundle of naughtiness and realized that maybe I was ready to take home a basenji but I was not prepared for an Oakley!! The first few years were filled with extreme anxiety, Both on his part and mine: total separation and confinement anxiety, xylitol poisoning, corneal dystrophy and near death obstruction surgery from eating his leash!!! I am happy to report that things are starting to even out and we are reaching our stride. Life is crazy, and he is my little boy- never have I been so loved and entertained. I'm truly blessed to know life with Oakley. May we have many many more treasured years! Just as his name suggests (Eldorado N Akuaba's I'll Be Your Wingman)..he is my wingman in life- thanks buddy for getting me through some very tough times
Oh, and by the way- I have been constantly reminding him that at the age of four, basenjis are not allowed to continue engaging in ANY naughtiness or shenanigans. Pretty sure he flipped me the dew claw.
