Let me introduce to you Edgie's
Savannah's Pried.
No it's not spelled incorrectly,
I spelled it like this because Savannah was the nosiest little puppy I
had ever seen. She pried into everything as a puppy. But, of course,
that is the nature of the Basenji.
So, when I decided it was time
for another basenji, I called Jim Edgerton, (Edgie's Basenjis), the same
breeder that I got Tigger (Edgie's Tigger Tramp Wahl) from over twenty
years ago.
When I spoke to him on the phone,
he just happened to have a puppy he thought I would like. He said
this puppy bitch was his pick of the litter, but his wife wanted
another one from the litter and they could only keep one. So, he
agreed to let me have this bitch.
At this particular time it was
winter and Ohio is very cold. Savannah was born in November a very
cold month and putting her on a plane was not going to happen.
As it turned out, Mrs. Edgerton
was going to be driving South to a exhibit at dog show in Florida in March.
She was going to pass through Georgia and would be going through Savannah,
Georgia. I had a niece that lived in Savannah at the time who could
pick her up or be her drop off so to speak. 
This is the story of how Savannah
got her name My niece picked her up from the Edgerton's, kept her
overnight, and then my sister-in-law was going to visit her daughter
in Savannah, would bring this puppy back to Eatonton, Georgia with her
where my husband and son drove to pick up Savannah when my sister-in-law
returned to her home.
When my sister-in-law Peggy pulled
in her driveway, Joe, my husband and BJ, my son were already there waiting
to pick up this puppy. It was a 2 hour drive for them, and 2 hours
back home.
What a trip this little girl
had from Ohio to Savannah, Georgia a 12 hour drive, then overnight
in Savannah , 4 hours to Eatonton Georgia, and finally 2 hours to Kennesaw
Georgia.
It is certainly understandable
why Savannah hates getting into the car to go somewhere. She whines
and cries the whole time she is in the car.
Basenjis may be barkless, but
believe
me they make up for it with whining, crying and screaming.
