Arrival Story: Savannah almost didn't make it to our home. After experiencing one basenji (Talker), another basenji was not on my husband list of dogs to get to keep Talker company. A basenji friend (Linda) who's new pup came from the same breeder as Talker told us that there was a female available from the same litter. Linda brought her little boy pup to visit and my husband saw the way basenji played together and he just loved seeing her little "Taj" that he gave in right then and there and told me to make the call to the breeder and bring that little girl home.

I've been under the weather for a few weeks. Today I had my MRI and it looks like, for now, surgery is not an option.
But I just wanted to thank all my Dogster pals for rallying beehind me and really pushing me thru to where I am now. After my MRI my doc has decided to not pursue surgery (as there was not enough for her to warrent a surgery) and try to heal me with steroids.
I hope to bee walking like my sort of normal self.
I'm just always amazed at the love and support of my fellow dogster pals. Some of those who expressed support I didn't even know. It's the warmth of Dogster that makes me feel good and I am so happy to have found that warmth from my friends.
I hope to be back on my feet in no time...until then Onward!!!!
I helped saved a loose dog's life wiff my stillness. Here's momma to tell my tail!
Angel, me and the pups were in the car and we saw this guy chasing after his loose big black lab down a busy street. The dog almost got hit in traffic when this lady tried blocking it with her car. The dog then turned down a street and we drove around the block trying to find it (after much pleading to get Angel to go back).
We finally found them and I took Savannah out of the car. The dog started coming towards us and stopped to sniff at her. She was so brave and thank god the dog was friendly. I tried giving it treats which he wanted and then I tried grabbing his collar, but he took off again. Then he backed tracked and came running towards us again. This time I tried to hold him back by body blocking him with and boy that dog was strong. I got him stopped but he had Banners pinned against a bush and she started snarking at his cheek. It was funny cuz she wasn't biting him, but just snarking at his face. I watched her and the dog wasn't even phased by her nipping. Then the owner grabbed the dog by his collar and said a bunch of thank yous to me and the other lady that was trying to help him. So I picked up banners to get in the car and didn't realize that while I was carrying her she was pooping on my pants and my flip flops. She was so scared she pooped in her pants! Then when I tried wiping her up, guess what was trying to make her way out of her butt?? A "strawberry" aka a Q-tip. I yelled at hubby and he denied, denied, and denied and Banners was crying, crying and crying. What a scene. I washed most of it off me and we headed home. Boy Savannah was really scared, but she was so brave when she saw the dog coming towards her. She just stopped him with her stillness. She helped saved that dog's life cuz he was wild running loose.
Here's Banners!
Mom! That's the price you have to pay for bravery. Sorry. I saved his life!!!!
Well tomorrow is my birthday!! Yea! I will be six years old. I'm so tired of being 5. I suspect that 6 years old will be far better than being 5. I already know what I'm getting for my birthday. Lots of kisses and extra loving and more treats. I'm hoping that I get a steak wiff my cupcake. Mom will take lots of pictures of me. I hope Big Daddy doesn't squish my cupcake in my face like he did last time.
I hope every pup on Dogster enjoys my birthday!!!
Shout out to my brother Taj cuz it's his birthday too!
