PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodians are being urged to eat more dogs as part of a crackdown on stray mutts wandering around the capital of the southeast Asian nation.Although dogs, along with creepy-crawlies such as spiders, beetles and crickets, are found regularly on menus in deeply impoverished rural areas, eating them is frowned upon in the relative sophistication of Phnom Penh. City governor Kep Chuktema says it is now time to draw up a special pooch policy to control the growing problem of pavement-fouling strays, and for city-dwellers to throw off their traditional snootiness toward dining on man's best friend. "Come on, dog meat is so delicious," he was quoted as saying in Thursday's Cambodia Daily newspaper. "The Vietnamese and Koreans love to eat dog meat." "(Cambodians) don't have wine, but poor people can enjoy their dog meat with palm juice wine," he said. Hitherto, Phnom Penh dog lovers have had to keep their tastes under wraps by asking for 'special' or 'jogging cow' meat in restaurants.

She was my dog...my mom always said we had the same personality...but I don't think she meant it as a compliment.  Megan
Megan we must have been writing at the same time.
Basenji as a breed can be very stubborn, but their charm is amazing. I think you can take it as a sort of a copliment, I sometimes think my daughter and Ari is behaving the same way.
What is the name of your mothers kennel? There are not so many or were not so many that was breeding this special dog.
My Ari is from Elisabet Selinus, Kennel Senjisfinx here in sweden. I know she is mentioned in the book Susan Coe wrote.
I also had a bitch, her name was Kindu and she was an english import, I got her when she was 2 years. She needed a "rescue" home. Unfortenately she died when she was 7 because of a brain tumour. Here we "meet" at a voivod forum founding out we both have been in touch with basenjis. sometimes the world is small! 
Cheers and "yodel".
