Here is the progression of my Halloween costume this year: First, I scored a black wig for $6 at Target… Then I made a fake pregnant belly using pantyhose, fiberfill, and rubber bands… I collected a few more bits, including black liquid eyeliner… And, bang! Chola! Here is one definition of Chola from UrbanDictionary.com: hardcore […]
Oh, Pona.
If you’re interested in an update on Pona, I just posted one today on the Basenji Rescue Blog.
The Big Q
Flavor hits my lips Sleepiness overwhelms me Much like Pavlov’s dog. The haiku speaks the truth! I took NyQuil last night, and before the medicine had even hit my throat, all of my muscles relaxed and begged for sleep. Classic conditioned response. I slept for 11 hours last night. I felt the woozies of a […]
FrankenSenji!
I was calling Pona The Bionic Dog until today. Today Pona decided to remove his bandages, and I finally got a look at the hardware. Now he’s FrankenSenji. I knew what was under there, but I am shocked at how it actually looks! Bolts! Rods! Pins! Surprisingly his skin looks fine and healthy, as if […]
One Month
Pona has become sort of a favorite at the vet’s office, and this is his best friend there. Her name is Laurie, and she’s the vet tech who does Pona’s bandage changes every week. Every time we get out of the car to go into the vet’s office, Pona does his DO NOT WANT routine, […]
Brave with My Hollerin’
I just got home from walking the dogs, and my heart is still racing. While walking down the sidewalk, FOUR little dogs ran up to us from a few houses away and attacked. The biggest of the four was a Shiba Inu (Basenji-sized), a Chinese Crested (rat-sized), and two little fuzzy dogs (loaf-of-bread-sized). Do I […]

Now on to business – This gentleman and his random number generator helped me pick the three winners for the pattern giveaway that I announced on Friday. The winners are Merrie, Reagan, and Karo. Send me your email, ladies, and get […]
I Said “Lunch”, Not “Launch”!
Remember the Krofft Supershow on tv in the ’70s? With shows like Land of the Lost and Bugaloos? While putting this post together this morning I thought about one of those shows called Far Out Space Nuts. The title to this post is a line from that show. I remember Gilligan was in it. Anyway… […]
A Few Scratches and Dings
I have a new foster Basenji through Basenji Rescue…that happens all the time. No biggie, right? But this one was a stray, and not an owner-surrender. Well, not that uncommon. But this one tested heartworm-positive. Yikes, I’ve been here before. But this one was hit by a car, and needed surgery for a broken bone. […]
