You know when you are old, when there are more people that knows you than you can recall. Some knows me only virtually, thanks to my homepages and some discussion forums (the latter mentioned needs always registration). I have been introduced at least in following basenji discussion forums: Finnish, Swedish, German and French Basenjis. Then my hobbies are presented in following forums: local agility club in Finland, Finnish and Estonian Sighthounds.

I need time and free space to become familiar with people and their dogs in a friendly way. When the chance is given, then I have made friends for life. Normally people, who dislikes dogs, fells into love with me. Just because I don't behave like a dog. I'm just too sophisticated for that! Dog people prefer Ciara's company. With dogs I like most of those ones, who behaves educated like me. Small puppies awake my mother instincts, but puppies are not high regarded as friends.

Most of my friends I have only met once, for instance in some dog shows. I have resited in following countries: Sweden (born), Finland (my homeland), Switzerland, Estonia and Germany (presence). Then I have vistited France (track racing), Luxembourg (dog shows), Italy (tourist), Austria (dog shows) and Czech Republic (lure coursing).

Once we have had visitors from the other side of the world (Afrikenji Basenjis - Australia), but most of my friends are located in Europe. There are still some countries, where I would like to meet nose-to-nose basenjis and their owners, but not yet had the opportunity i.e. Italy (my relatives from my dad side), France (track racing competition), Luxembourg (Finnish basenji Rairai) and all the long way to Denmark (just to check, if they speak basenjis).

PS. After my secretary had submitted this text, master Mika made a comment after reading it: "Nala prefers the nose-to-ass method instead of nose-to-nose"
