I have had all sorts of dogs growing up but never a inside dog and never a Basenji. On 1/21/2011 I drove three and half hours over a state line to meet some woman at a Walmart in some town I don't think I had ever been to before to pick up at that time she was named Emma a five month old that I had found online for free. The nice lady who was fostering Emma explained to me when we met that the authorities had raided a puppy mill and everyone in the area whom fostered was overwhelmed by the number of dogs they were trying to save. She also explained that at any other time she would not give a dog away that was not fixed and explained to me how important to her it was that I had Emma fixed in the next few week which I was happy to agree to. So here I was with a shaking dog with a small case of fleas whom had already gotten car sick on the twenty minute ride to meet me and smelled like doggy puke. Fast forward to present day Cherokee "changed her name from Emma before I even seen her" is Queen of her double wide couch as I like to say and so much part of my life and family I have became one of those people that I use to make fun of with all the pictures of their family dog, buying doggy clothes "only for the winter because it does get cold every now and then" and doggy stories. Oh the stories I have about my Cherokee I could write a book. Now I am thinking of expanding my pack and there is only one breed for me. I want to get another Basenji.
