  • Sonny loves to run & play in the sand…the ocean is another story :p

  • Nice pics of Sonny having fun. His colouring looks great against the blue water. Thanks for sharing these.

  • Sonny has the most gorgeous face. My last Basenji loved the beach but used to wine if we took him down near the sea.

  • Love pics of Sonny Boy. Did he lose some weight? Hey when you getting the new girl?

  • @nobarkus:

    He's just big boned! lol He may have lost a pound :D We had to wait an extra 2 weeks for the girl to come up to CT. First weekend in April!!

  • We are headed down to Cannon Beach in Or for a week.
    My b's love it, so, if hubby takes some photos, I will be able to share them with you all.

  • Sharron, have a great time. Dress warm - that wind keeps it a bit nippy, and let your doggie have the time of their lives.

  • Thank Fran, I have the dog sweaters, and can only find one of the rain coats..I have a second one, but my girl is like me, expanded beyond her clothing! laugh.
    But we will make it work.
    Hugs to you. Are you home after all your travels? Make your room for the EBC specality
    yet?

  • Don't talk to me about expanding beyond your wardrobe. I am down to one pair of jeans that fit okay :/ Winter is a killer on me - every year it is about 10 lbs. I would have done well as a cave woman - retaining weight for a famine.

    I missed visiting with everyone, but yes, am home safe and sound. I wanted to do gardening this weekend, but the forecast calls for rain.

    I have a short list of places to try, but will try the Best Western first. I have to ask them about the height of the bed, so Darrel can get in and out of it easily. Then we organize a care aide to come in for the a.m. and p.m. But with the travelling we have done, we have it down pat.

    Do have a wonderful time, despite what the weather does. I love that area of Oregon. Years ago we visited Lincoln City and ate clam chowder at every restaurant.

    And yes, I'll get those reservations going this weekend!

    hugs to all of you,
    Fran

  • Glad your back home. Ask re the handicapped rooms. I have stayed in several, when I traveled with my late mom…they are really wonderful.
    Getting back on track of the beach. It will be great for all of us..good walking and nice feeling of peace with the waves.

    i used to take pet portraits for people. Got pretty good at making unusual noises to get the dog's expression. With horses, an umbrella slowly opening works wonders! But dogs, like kids, get bored quickly. In my experience if you don't get "that" shot in the first minute or so, you won't. But some are real hams and love the camera! Basenjis generally are very photogenic. :-)

    @tanza: They are not wild "wicked" women…gggg... I know of a few "mellow" ones.. and usually I have found, it is the boys that are pretty wild in their younger years, more then the girls most of the time. There is stuff you can buy to put on her pads to protect them while they toughen up... and she would be one for sure that I would be very careful with on pavement/roads/sidewalks in the summer when the sun has really hot... that is what can really bother their feet, tough or not.. The 2 females I had were tough and devoted. Good point about the heat. That hot pavement is a killer and I don't think people realize it either.

    @Kipawa: The shot with the two of them sharing the stick is magazine worthy. Oh wow! Thanks a lot ;) @MacPack: Thank you! But it's the garden of my parents-in-law. We have to drive 5-10minutes to them. With its 4500 sq.m. it is a Basenji-paradies :D @Buana: Do you plan to visit another show in Germany? You were in Rheinberg, right? We planned to show there, too - but didn't have the time. @TikaLynn: I'm happy, that you like them so much :)

    @Basenjimamma: funny.. Webcams are a blessing but I also think that before the cams we ventured more on a limb as supposed to take the comfort road and stay in if the weather looks iffy. The dogs probably don't care one way or another, pending rain of course.. I do go up there when it's foggy only I know how to dress or at least take a jacket. In the summer it's usually about 58-61 degrees with the fog.
