Hi,
We live with two basenjis: Curie (Dark Skies Cherry Bomb) and Will (Dark Skies Laugh Out Loud).
Will is new to our house; he was three when his last family couldn't keep him any longer due to some changes in their lives. He's still a little aloof, but getting the hang of life in our house. (He arrived right before Labor Day.) He is a little monkey; he has figured out every door latch and child lock we have so far. He tugs trash out from under the kitchen sink and brings it to us very happily. "Look what I FOUND under there!"
Curie thinks we brought him home for her. She looooves him. They share a big crate now, which helps them both, I think.
Curie is my baby :). She has been with me through some big changes in my life, and I think she studies me like a little basenji scientist. She predicts what I'm going to do based on the teensiest minutiae. "When mom puts on THOSE shoes, it means we are going for the long walk." It's so cool. No one else in my life watches me so carefully!
We also have a bengal cat who thinks that she is a basenji.
We're in Virginia, right outside DC. Now that life is settling down, I'm starting to think about lure coursing, but I know nothing about it. Will's sister is a pretty decent lure courser (Gracie? Dark Skies Morgan's Grace... I could be slightly wrong on the name, but that's the gist), and Curie's father is, as well. (Rocket Socks? Something like that? I will find out.) I suppose I should know this stuff better :). They like to run run run, and their breeder (who happens to be my sister) tells me my two would like coursing.
Anyway, that's us!
