@debradownsouth Thank you for the kind words but I have to admit... I take young adults for my own convenience. I simply don't have time, stamina or energy to deal with the pups as adorable as they are. Having a puppy is like having a baby or too! Did I mention I was not into children and babies or can you guess?lol. I love the retirees. they are already used to crates (although Ollie is now somewhat recalcitrant about getting into hers because she would rather hang out with her now "Mom", lol!! They travel well. They are usually somewhat used to people. Ollie is not used to playing by herself and is just getting used to "big" breeds. She doesn't get the commands "sit, down or stay" yet but we are working on it. She is the champ of the "heel" command however!!

Some of my story is on Rainbow Bridge. Unfortunatly, Damian is no longer here with me and IM having a really hard time with it. I want to introduce another basenji into the family, beacuse since I have already had one, I couldn't imagine a better companion or owner as it may. I just need time to heal my heart some.
I love the breed and love to read about other basenji experiences. They are absolutely wonderful creatures and I could not have been given a better gift than Damian. He without a doubt, has given me the best 16 years of my life. -
Welcome to the boards, MyDamian. I read your story in Rainbow Bridge, and it is so touching! Thank-you for sharing it.
