  • Hello, just wanted to introduce myself. I am Melisa Skillman. I have been owned by basenjis for 8 years starting my 9th. I have 4 wonderful dogs one of which I am looking for his forever home for. Diamond is my matriarch then Jaz, Frankie and Shadey. My Daughter Latasha also enjoys the breed but she also has a whippet, Khloe. i look forward to learning new things from this forum. I also hope to meet some new and wonderful friends. :)

  • Hi Melisa :) When did you move?!?

    Yay!!! As you can see from my quote above, I have been looking for other Basenji slaves from WV! (I recently posted in the Chit Chat section). I am so delighted to have a WV Basenji friend!:D :D :D

  • I moved back in August. I am staying with Beth (Rosewood Basenjis) and her husband till i get back on my feet. Thank goodness for friends.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!
