Arrival Story: My big sister, Egypt (also a basenji) passed into doggy heaven. Mom and Dad were sad so of course the answer was another basenji (after all we don't smell, bark or need many baths.) They went back to Edgerton's Kennel in Canfield, Ohio and found moi! How lucky was that?
Bio: My idea of a great day is having both Mom and Dad at home at my beck and call. I really dig sunbeams and follow them around the house. I am a genius at hiding bone-bones but not so crafty at locating them. Mom's really good at that. She's not as much fun as Dad is, but for a human, she's pretty cool and gives great doggy massages!
Forums Motto:
Dear Diary, we are finally home from our winter travels, or should I say "travails"? It was cold when we left West Virginia, just as cold when we got to Atlanta, where we stayed for several days with family. In fact, it was basically miserable weather-wise! Mommy bought some fleece-lined shoes for back up home in WV, but wound up wearing them in the not-so-sunny South! We left Atlanta 'n' headed for Mommy's family home in Florida, hoping for some nice, warmer weather. All we got there was lots of cold wind off the lake, 'n' threats of rain, sleet, FLURRIES (!) of all things! So much for my nice, leisurely walks along the lakefront. I did my business 'n' hurried right back to the house. THAT was on the GOOD days! Then it got dangerous, 'cause the arctic circle had apparently slipped it's moors 'n' became stranded in the deep South somewhere, blowing its cold air over Florida. The pawrents spent much of their vacation covering shrubs 'n' flowering plants. The deep-freeze has been devastating to all plant and citrus growers in Florida, as well as people that raise tropical fish 'n' other kinds of stock. Mommy says she remembers whole groves of citrus disappearing after these freezes, when she was growing up. So, it seems that that ol' Arctic circle weather is going to get you no matter how far you try to run away from it!
Now, to make matters worse, (or maybe it's Ol' Man Winter's sense of humor) the pawrents became ill on the way home to WV. First Daddy 'n' then Mommy, with it hitting them, one at a time, between Florida and North Carolina. All I did was sleep. I knew better than to mess with them. They were looking so pathetic 'n' were rather cranky. So....I'm just glad to be back in my own house, with my own toys, 'n' where we're s'posed to have arctic weather. Good ol' WVa! Happy New Year Y'all!!!
Recently we have been asked in many of our groups to name something we are particularly thankful for. I thought 'n' thought about so many things I have in my life and in the life of my pawrents that make me thankful. However, one thing stood out above all the rest because of recent things going on in my family, and that is that I am truly thankful 'n' blessed for being a part of this entity called "Dogster". The prayers and warm vibes felt over the miles from one home to another when we are in need, truly are felt deep inside of us. Thank you for all your prayers during this time that my Daddy has been ill. We were so afraid he might have a recurrence of his cancer, but thanks to the Lord 'n' to all of your prayers, he is cancer free. However, he has a serious infection which was treated by surgery 'n' needs further treatment. His doctors call it the "Ohio Valley Crud". Apparently it's not so uncommon around here. Anyway, Mommy brought him home tonight, 'n' even though he's attached to an odd-looking contraption called an "oxygen machine", he'll soon be good as new. (Mommy's glad they got the Christmas tree up early, 'cause he's not s'posed to lift anything for several weeks!) You know, even though we had no turkey 'n' trimmings today, we still had a wonderful Thanksgiving 'n' now can look forward to a blessed 'n' Merry Christmas!
